🧵@PierrePoilievre says he only heard about Diagolon "about a month ago", however:

✅Pierre was in Commons when Diagolon was mentioned SIX TIMES during the debate over the Emergencies Act. That was in February.

✅In fact, he is directly addressed by NDP member @HMcPhersonMP
1/ @PierrePoilievre @HMcPhersonMP ✅ A description of the Diagolon group was entered into OFFICIAL EVIDENCE of "The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security" on March 31st.

1/ Pierre Poilievre says he only learned about Diagolon a month ago. Yet, he was in the House of Commons on February 20th when Diagolon was described in debates no less than 3 times as being a possible violent threat. Was PP simply not paying attention or did he lie about never 2/ having heard of them? Which is more dangerous? A leader who doesn’t pay attention to threats facing the country or a leader who doesn’t care?

Remember: the context of that debate was The Emergencies Act, and whether Canada actually faced a violent threat.

At the very least,

This Pierre Poilievre video is full of so much smug and smarmy faux-outrage that it was genuinely hard to watch. Nonetheless, I managed to hang in there and compose a list of blatant lies Pierre spewed forth. A thread. 🧵

Claim: "You said you want to phase out the energy sector!"

A lie. Pierre is intentionally conflating the oil and gas industry - one part of the energy sector - with the energy sector as a whole. The Trudeau government has committed millions to growing renewables.
