“He wants to control every aspect of your life, and then when he ruins your life, he wants to take none of the responsibility for the ruin that he caused.”

Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre took the stage at the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference this week to take aim at Trudeau’s response to the hearings on foreign interference in Canadian elections as well as his “illiberal” policies. He delivered the keynote address to a packed room of enthusiastic supporters.

“Of course what we’re investigating is whether a foreign dictatorship interfered in our democracy in multiple elections to help him win—a communist dictatorship seeking to keep in office someone who said he admires that communist dictatorship,” he said.

Poilievre said that Trudeau “wants all the power, and none of the responsibility.”

“When there is actually a risk of manipulation by hostile and malicious actors like say a communist regime in Beijing, he can’t even take the responsibility of reading his briefing notes.”

“He wants to control every aspect of your life, and then when he ruins your life, he wants to take none of the responsibility for the ruin that he caused.”
