When asked about Smith's comments about him, Poilievre himself began to discuss his conservative counterpart, but pulled himself back."Well sh…," he began, stopping before a "she" could cross his lips. "People are free to make their own comments. I speak for myself."

Fine, so what is Poilievre actually saying? From a National Post article:

Poilievre has promised to pay for it by cutting “waste,” eliminating bureaucracy and contracts with consultants and bringing in a rule that any new spending needs to be offset by spending cuts of the same size. He has also vowed to cut foreign aid and stop what he called “handouts to insiders.”

Sounds kind of DOGE-y to me?

stop what he called “handouts to insiders.”

Isn't his career one of those? Lol

Every accusation is actually an admission. Just like with the American Right.

Please link archived versions of natpo articles next time since they're a right-wing USA-owned rag.

Curious. The archived version seems a bit abridged compared to the original? For example, I can't find any mention of his plans to cut foreign aid (which I think is a terrible idea—can't we take the high road for once?).
