Poilievre visits convoy camp, claims Trudeau is lying about 'everything'

The Conservative leader is facing questions after stopping to cheer on an anti-carbon tax convoy camp near the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where he bluntly accused the prime minister of lying about "everything."

In another video from his visit, Poilievre, who has been beating Trudeau's Liberals in the polls since last summer, is seen leaving a RV with a drawing of the black and white Diagolon flag on the door.

According to RCMP documents tabled at the Emergencies Act inquiry last year, the national police force believes Diagolon is a militia-like network whose supporters subscribe to an "accelerationist" ideology — the idea that a civil war or the collapse of western governments is inevitable and ought to be sped up.

"Are they the kind of leader that is going to exacerbate divisions, fears and polarization in our country, make personal attacks and welcome the support of conspiracy theorists and extremists?

Jones, a notorious broadcaster who has been ordered to pay more than a billion dollars in damages to the families of the Sandy Hook victims after claiming the school shooting was a hoax, has called Poilievre the "real deal" and recently reiterated his support.

David Coletto, founder and CEO of polling firm Abacus Data, said part of Poilievre's strategy in visiting the protest encampment might have been to motivate members of his base who are drawn by Maxime Bernier's populist People's Party of Canada — which took four per cent of the vote in the last election.
