Poilievre said Monday he asked the RCMP to look into “disgusting” comments MacKenzie made during a weekend livestream about sexually assaulting his wife, Anaida Poilievre. In a statement, the RCMP says a Saskatchewan-wide warrant for MacKenzie’s arrest was changed to a Canada-wide warrant on Sept. 21, five days before Poilievre’s request.
The RCMP says the process of extending that warrant took nearly two weeks because Crown prosecutors needed to collect documents from police in Quebec and Nova Scotia.Share this article in your social network
