Pierre Poilievre’s silence on Russian right-wing propaganda in Canada is deafening

Observations from Montreal

In a predictably pathetic move, after real journalists revealed far-right influencers were on the receiving end of Kremlin kickbacks, Pierre Poilievre cried havoc and let slip his dogs of war.

On Russian interference with our democracy? No.

Rather, on Craig Sauvé, a former city councillor and the NDP’s current candidate for LaSalle-Émard-Verdun.

Craig’s crime? Opposing genocide.

Poilievre and his brood are the principal beneficiaries of Tenet Media’s Russian-backed right-wing propaganda. His silence on the matter is deafening. 

That Putin would prefer Poilievre to run this country speaks volumes as well. Not because Poilievre would be an ally or useful idiot, but because — like Trump — he’s an imbecile.
