Earlier today, on his way into cabinet, Liberal Minister Marc Millier was asked what he thought about the Leader of His Majesty’s Official Opposition, Pierre Poilievre. Miller wasn’t pulling any punches with this response.

It’s about damn time.

Pierre Poilievre can pretend he’s a nice guy with the THREE MILLION DOLLAR makeover, but he’s been acting like a prick as a member of parliament since 2004.

Pierre Poilievre: The Triple, Triple, Triple Million Dollar Man

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu, tried to come to Poilievre’s rescue with this tweet:

The threat to our democracy are those who are trying to shut down freedom of expression(C11,C18), freedom of religion ( done nothing about rise in antisemitism , burning of churches ) mobility rights etc and that would be this Liberal government !

— Marilyn Gladu (@MarilynGladuSL) October 31, 2023

Yes. You’re correct. That IS the same Marilyn Gladu who, along with the then interim leader of the CPC, Candice Bergen, grabbed some pizza with the “hard working truckers” as she proudly put it on her Facebook:

Yes. The “hard-working” truckers whose stated goal was to overthrow our duly elected government. (But that’s no threat to democracy at all.)

So that was Gladu’s response.

Here are some other responses from the “common people.”

All the attention that this clip is getting shows that people are tired of Poilievre going completely unchallenged by #cdnmedia.

Hey Mr Akin, maybe you can do a story on how Canadians get hit with bots every time they post anything that disagrees with Ford/PP etc? Isn't that strange? But hey I'm sure its just a coincidence🧐

— SassySallyAnn🇨🇦 (@realsassysally) October 31, 2023

I 100% agree with Sally’s first point and would definitely like to see an investigation into Poilievre’s army of bots. Who pays for them, and how are they connected to Jeff Ballingall? (Just…just an educated guess that Ballingall is at the bottom, the very bottom, of it all.)

(The absolute bottom.)

FranklyMyDear (@MrDash109):

Pierre Poilievre and CPC are like the Poilievre Plumbing Company coming to your house to fix a leaky tap. Four years later they've removed all fixtures except the leaky tap, stripped your house of all plumbing and wire, and created so many Code violations your house burned down.

— FranklyMyDear (@MrDash109) October 31, 2023

Yeah. All the while telling you that this is all somehow Justin Trudeau’s fault.

He does literally cater (coffee & doughnuts) to insurrectionists.

“I ordered the insurrectionist special.” – Pierre (Jeff) Poilievre.

As I write this, Mr. Akin’s tweet has 419.1K views, so I think that is exactly how a lot of people are feeling.

So, let this be a message to Canadian media. People are sick of Poilievre, and it’s time to stop letting him go unchallenged.

Maybe, just maybe, if you all started doing your damn jobs, then perhaps the hashtag #cdnmediafailed won’t keep trending.
