Top aide to former PM Harper rips Poilievre’s comments about RCMP and Trudeau

Poilievre alleges RCMP hid Trudeau-era misconduct during the SNC-Lavalin scandal while Commissioner Duheme denies interference and calls for respectful dialogue.

  • Earlier this month, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre attacked Royal Canadian Mounted Police leadership and accused former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of likely violating the Criminal Code in the SNC-Lavalin affair.
  • Political analysts note Pierre Poilievre relies on old scandals to extract political capital, revealing a broader leadership weakness driven by his fixation on former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
  • Mike Duheme, RCMP Commissioner, responded by rejecting political interference claims and urged respectful dialogue, which Poilievre has ignored.
  • The rhetoric is unsettling moderate conservatives as Poilievre’s incendiary comments raise doubts about his leadership and erode trust in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, aiding the Liberals.
  • Commentators say the party must reassess its direction and rediscover its roots to restore credibility, urging the Conservative Party of Canada to restore decorum and principled leadership to avoid fading into irrelevance.
