2. Poilievre and his members continue to attack the PM - he uses bullying tactics on a daily basis
3. Poilievre under Stephen Harper raised the retirement age to 67 and PMJT reversed it, it was scheduled to start this month - he lies when he states he wants to help Canadians
4. Poilievre states that he dislikes big government 'gatekeepers' but his shadow ministers under the CPC are almost double the amount of the Liberal govt in power. Look at the salaries for last quarter of 2022.
