"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.
