Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Pierre Poilievre on Monday for his victory in the Conservative leadership race this past Saturday, before taking aim at some of the comments the new leader had made in the past. Trudeau said the Liberal government would continue to bring forward “responsible leadership,” and slammed Poilievre’s past comments on cryptocurrency and COVID-19 vaccine mandates, saying it was irresponsible. He also criticized politicians’ use of “buzzwords, dogwhistles and careless attacks.”
