So, picture this: when Conservative Leader Pierre P. decided to drop his extraordinary accusations of political cover-up by the RCMP… he didn’t do it in Parliament. Nope. Not even outside the Supreme Court. He did it in the 29th minute of a 32-minute podcast interview.
Like, he just casually said the Mounties conspired to stop former prime minister Justin Trudeau from being criminally charged over ethics violations and the SNC-Lavalin affair.
“If the RCMP had been doing its job and not covering up for him then he would have been criminally charged,”. “But of course the RCMP covered it all up and the leadership of the RCMP is just frankly just despicable when it comes to enforcing laws against the Liberal government.”
Despicable RCMP? Excuse me?!
It’s a stunning allegation to make. The Leader of the Opposition literally said that Canada’s national police force covered up a crime by the then-prime minister. Like, hello?! The cops are crooked? So deeply corrupt they rigged an investigation to let Trudeau off the hook? That’s not just political drama — that’s, like, Netflix docuseries-level scandal.
And, um, he wasn’t even being grilled by reporters. He was sitting in an armchair, chatting with a couple who operate a YouTube channel called Northern Perspective. Nobody had even asked him about an RCMP cover-up. He was just comfortable, apparently talking to like-minded people, trying to get a reaction.
Certainly, the hosts didn’t ask him for evidence. They merely nodded and wrapped up with a softball question. Classic.
If you’re looking for the “sharp political strategy” behind this? Good luck. “He obviously chose the YouTube interview to bolster his hard-core support base” — but, like, accusing the Mounties of deep-state cover-ups is “probably not the way to win over the middle-ground swing voters.”
But Pierre P. couldn’t help himself. Because, yeah, “many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time.”
Cue the backlash: Dimitri Soudas — remember him, Harper’s comms director? — said Mr. Poilievre hasn’t learned, calling him “addicted to opposition.” Ouch. Even some of his own MPs squirmed when asked about it on TV.
Andrew Scheer tried to change the subject, saying Trudeau “broke ethics laws.” And, like, yes — “He did.” Twice. Ethics violations? Totally. Crimes? The RCMP said nah, not enough evidence to convict.
But, okay, here’s the real tea: “It’s one thing to disagree with that conclusion. But it’s a big thing to accuse the national police of deliberately covering up crimes at the highest level.”
Still, in Mr. Poilievre’s world, this is “not a sensational accusation.” He didn’t feel the need to offer proof. He just stated the allegations like they were self-evidently true.
And, babe — “not doing either would show poor judgment that undermines Pierre P.’s claim to be a prime minister in waiting.”
Like, people always say it’s unfair to compare him to Trump. But here? “The comparison is legitimate.” Because, honestly, he’s echoing the same “Lock him up” energy.
In essence, Mr. Poilievre is saying this of Mr. Trudeau: Lock. Him. Up.
