Pierre Poilievre won't invite media on campaign plane in coming election

"SNIP............

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s team has decided that journalists will not be invited to travel on his campaign plane, marking a break from a long-standing practice.

Historically, political parties charge media organizations a fee for a seat on the campaign plane, allowing them to cover all of the leader’s events.

The start date of the next election has not yet been announced, but it is widely expected to begin within the next few days.

Both the Liberal Party and the NDP have sent invitations to media organizations offering the traditional arrangements of places on the leader’s campaign plane or buses for a fee to cover costs.

Applegrove: he's also planning on killing the CBC News if he wins the election.

a big fan of the trucker BS on Parliament Hill and few years ago. He will have advisors from the MAGA/Republican Party though I think they will have bags over their heads.

to win. He said he was hoping the Liberals win to Laura Ingraham on Fox. Totally fake statement to try and help Poilievre because Canadians hate Trump to the tune of over 90%. Look at this National Post story on it:

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/donald-trump-mark-carney-pierre-poilievre

I think the National Post is coordinating/colluding with Trump.

* Poilievre is leading with not having the support of Trump. This is totally coordination between Poilievre and Trump. Canadians will not fall for it. Hopefully some Canada loving patriot in the Conservative campaign will come clean about Trump's support for Poilievre and MAGA/Republican operatives on the Poilievre Campaign.

in political polls. So it was a quick turnaround yesterday to get Trump to claim he wanted Carney to win.
