OTTAWA –
Conservative Leader Pierre Poillievre doubled down on his belief that “everything feels broken” on Friday when he blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for suggesting otherwise.
Poilievre addressed Tory MPs at their two-day meeting ahead of the return of the House of Commons next week.
The meetings come as the country faces a possible economic recession.
Poilievre began his speech by outlining the ways Canadians are suffering — whether from high grocery prices or crime, which he characterized as out of control.
He also pointed to Trudeau’s comments at the Liberals’ annual holiday party last month, where the prime minister countered the Conservative leader’s message by telling supporters: “Canada is not broken.”
Poilievre told lawmakers that cities across the country are becoming “crime zones” under Trudeau’s watch, suggesting he is not taking the action he needs to.
