Pierre Poilievre is the type kid that we all used to beat up in school. It is not the way he looks -he looks quite presentable - it is that he can't open his mouth without saying something stupid or insulting or both.
He was the Conservative who lectured MPs on decorum and then did a pixie dance behind the Speaker's chair in the Commons. Then the tiny mite became one of the more abusive hecklers on the Conservative side of the house, including making abusive hand gestures and swearing. Now he is lecturing senior politicians on the relevance of historical fact.
On Question Period this weekend, Poilievre lectured Ralph Goodale over the Mulroney affair... oops, excuse me... the Mulroney "misunderstanding". "Liberals 'are trying to 'modernize' a historical event", cries Pierre. Because Pierre was in diapers in Calgary when the Mulroney misunderstanding took place means that it is no longer important? Geez!
If I ever take a $300,000 payment, in cash, from a dodgy source, for a service I may not have even delivered, and then neglect to pay taxes on it; then lie to a commons committee and the RCMP about it; then sue and win $2.1 million on the basis of the lie - remind me to get Pierre as my lawyer. He can argue that since it happened last week or last year, it is history and not relevant to today and does not deserve to be discussed.
