    He uses his daughter as a prop. Is he your role model now? Being a prop (whether unwilling or conditioned) still does not make a child responsible for her father’s behavior. She’ll still be affected if Poilievre is removed from leadership, but at least that’ll be only once and for a political impact more meaningful than poorly targeted personal revenge.

    I used to think leaving people’s children alone was the red line Canadians still had the decency to toe.

      Polievre uses his own daughter (who has no say in the matter) If he’s no longer leader and he’s not elected in public life anymore the. his daughter can’t be used against her will as a political prop.

        You’re very focused on what Poilievre does, even where it doesn’t actually affect you and even though you have no control over his words or actions.

        You have complete control over your own words and actions. Nothing any politician does will change who’s character that reflects. That’s power you are granting him, and it only diminishes yourself. But by all means, have another go at re-articulating your whatabout defense. Maybe the third time’s the charm.
