Media goes into OVERDRIVE to attack Poilievre

It’s Friday, so kick back, grab a drink and enjoy the latest episode of Off the Record with Andrew Lawton, Rachel Emmanuel/Ms. Emmanuel and Noah Jarvis!

Fu** Trudeau flags? Using unparliamentary language? “Extremists?!” This week, the legacy media obsessed over the fact that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre had the audacity to meet with anti-carbon tax protesters in Atlantic Canada.
