Ned Yeung"‘Deeply hypocritical’: Pierre Poilievre slammed ‘illegal border crossers,’ but his own relative crossed and stayed.Anaida Poilievre’s uncle lived undocumented in Canada and received help from her and an MP. The Conservative leader has said such individuals should be ‘tracked down’ and ‘deported’." - The Breach Media“Poilievre has vilified migrants, blaming them for the housing and affordability crisis, and says he plans to ‘track down’ and deport undocumented people even though his wife, who is a public figure heavily involved in his campaign, supported the regularization of her uncle. Why does Poilievre think other families don’t deserve the same rights as his own?
