Trudeau says Poilievre’s attacks on CBC while running ‘to American billionaires’ for support ‘telling’ of values

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre of enlisting U.S. billionaires to attack Canada’s public broadcaster, after Poilievre pushed for Twitter owner Elon Musk to label the CBC as “government-funded.” Trudeau said that Poilievre was “attacking this Canadian institution, attacking the culture and local content that is so important to so many Canadians,” and said Poilievre “runs to American billionaires” to “attack this institution.”
