So…now the question:
How / why does a pathetic, cowardly, theatrical, self aggrandizing little parasite like Pierre Poilievre seek to attack and damage the credibility of one of Canada’s most decorated and distinguished citizens?

What kind of political theatre are we allowing where the character of David Johnston is allowed to be assassinated by people looking to further their shitty little quasi-fascist agendas?

#cdnpoli

15/

Is @PierrePoilievre the type of leader you want?

Is this the #Canada you want?

Not by a long shot.

Because if people like PeePee can try to assassinate the character of someone like David Johnston…imagine what little regard he has for you and I.
