The CBC paused activity on its corporate and news accounts on Twitter, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Poilievre of running “to American billionaires” to attack the CBC. The call to defund the CBC (Poilievre has suggested he’d preserve French services) is a cornerstone of the populist strategy of the Conservative Party.
