Poilievre's comments on RCMP leadership being "despicable" echo Trump-style grievance politics, risking a national backlash.
Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" for a cover-up of Liberal misadventures on the Northern Perspective podcast.
He stated that many scandals during the Trudeau era should have resulted in jail time, citing the former prime minister's 2016 vacation on the Aga Khan's island and the 2018 SNC Lavalin affair.
Poilievre's approach may be a replay of his old tactics, parroting Donald Trump's politics of grievance, which could backfire nationally.
