OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre refused to apologize Thursday and tried to turn the tables on his Liberal critics after it was revealed tags had been embedded in his YouTube videos designed to reach out to those in the"male supremacy" movement.
The Liberals hit hard at Poilievre over the revelation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau demanded during question period that Poilievre apologize for"purposely using his videos to appeal to far-right, misogynistic online movements." A photograph of Trudeau wearing blackface in 2001 emerged during the 2019 federal election campaign, and he apologized repeatedly.
Koch says Poilievre confirmed it was not added by any of his current staff, though he provided no details on how that was confirmed. The leader's office has yet to say whether any further investigation will take place.
