Conservative MP and party leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre is criticizing a media outlet that published an article that accuses him and some of his colleagues of sympathizing with the “far-right,” saying “No wonder trust in the media is at an all-time low.”

“One of Global News’ so-called journalists decided to smear me & thousands of other Canadians because we criticized the federal government’s unscientific & discriminatory vaccine mandates,” Poilievre tweeted on July 7.
