To defund the CBC, Poilievre needs broadcaster to become prime minister

He joined other politicians including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier François Legault in a special rendition of Ukraine’s national anthem on Radio-Canada’s hit satirical news show Infoman. Following a clip of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson declaring that “there’s no more fearful despot in the world than Justin Trudeau,” Poilievre said that this was “too much, Justin isn’t that bad.”The great, albeit angry, communicator knows his audience. Some argue that the Conservatives won’t need Quebec to win the next election if support for Trudeau craters over the next year. Ironically, he will not only need Radio-Canada to get his message to Quebec voters, he might need the CBC’s English service. When the going gets tough, he will need to give interviews to the media he’s been avoiding, including the CBC.
