Nary a week goes by without federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre showing how unfit he is to become Canada’s next prime minister. This past week was no exception.

Whether it’s spreading falsehoods the federal government is “flooding the streets with heroin” or making juvenile claims the CBC is the “propaganda arm” of the Liberal government, Poilievre continues to show he’s been unable to make the jump from political adolescence to adulthood.

When a Canadian Press reporter asked him Thursday during a news conference in Edmonton whether he would change the Broadcasting Act to chop funding for the English-language division of the CBC, but not the French side, Poilievre refused to answer.

Instead, very much like former U.S. president Donald Trump, he attacked the credibility of the reporter.
