      Remember when Poilievre accused the Liberal government of starting the wildfires? Apparently he embraces nutty conspiracy theories and climate change denial, American style.

      Here’s a clip from Question Period a few months back:

      At the 0:49 mark, Karina Gould mentions the fires in Alberta, and at 1:02 Pierre Poilievre can be clearly heard saying “started by your government”. It’s very disheartening to see how there’s no Republican low Canada’s Conservatives won’t stoop to, given the chance.

        The irony here is that trump did start the camp fire in California. He purposely stopped wildfire prevention efforts on the federal lands surrounding Paradise, California because “those people didn’t vote for me”.

        To make it dramatic irony, over 75% of Paradise actually did vote for Trump.

        Please Canada, learn from America. Don’t make the same mistakes.
