So, this happened today during Question Period:
WATCH: "And his mockery of concrete initiatives that are going to deliver for Canadians is exactly what's wrong with his approach. He'd rather mock and insult than actually roll up his sleeves and get solutions built for Canadians." – @JustinTrudeau #PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/LSkbOdPUbC

What led to this bizarre outburst by the Leader of His Majesty’s Official Opposition?
It was after Pierre repeatedly asked the same question and demanded a simple answer to a complex issue. (One of his favourite Question Period games he plays.)
“Now he’s promising 3.9 million new homes by 2031. That means 550 thousand new homes this and every year. Will…he…keep…that…promise? YES OR NO?” – Pierre Poilievre
The Prime Minister listed off more of what their plan entails and mentioned the catalogue, which is why we saw PP spring to his feet full of excitement, leading to the outburst I tweeted.
Yes, because the number of houses built would be divided evenly over the years between now and then, so asking if they’ll build 550,000 new homes immediately is a totally reasonable and serious question.
You can tell how serious PP is being by…the…way…he…asked…his…question. Which was the third time he asked it.
Liberals are implementing their plan to solve the housing issue, and, as usual, Conservatives make ridiculous demands.
Liberals: “Hey, I got an idea. Let’s do “X” to solve “Y.”
Conservatives: “Has it instantly been accomplished already? YES OR NO?”
This is nothing new for Conservatives.
Take Hurricane Fiona, for example:
Pierre Poilievre's Convoy Party of Canada #CPC MPs are already politicizing the destruction from #Fiona to attack the LPC.
There WILL be a new faux scandal cooked up by the CPC over some program meant to help those affected by the hurricane.

Then, about 10 minutes later:
Con MPs like Stephen here are demanding specifics on how the government is going to help, in this instance, vineyards.
Demanding LPC make commitments to specific issues so they can then say LPC failed to meet goals.
They don't care about anything other than fomenting outrage.

Which led to this whopper by CPC MP Rosemarie Falk about an hour after QP had finished:
Convoy Party of Canada MP @rosemarie_falk just proved my point.
The CPC is already politicizing Hurricane #Fiona.
On carbon pricing: "What is it doing to prevent disasters?"
"How come it didn't prevent Hurricane Fiona? Where are those tax dollars going?"#cdnpoli

Demanding simplistic answers to complex issues, usually in the form of a “yes or no” question. It’s just childish trolling by Conservatives.
Just last week, Pierre Poilievre said this during QP:
“He brags about his BILLIONS in spending. Mr. Speaker, people can’t live in “billions,” they live in homes.” – Pierre Poilievre.
That’s just pure nonsense coming out of PP’s mouth.
So, I have one question for those who support Pierre Poilievre.
Is too much to ask that Pierre Poilievre, at the very least, make sense?
Yes or no?
