After losing another of his MPs to the Liberals, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he personally supports recall petitions — a way for constituents to remove a representative if they garner enough local support. Also, Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government to defend private property rights in the face of what he claims is a threat posed by a landmark B.C. Supreme Court decision establishing Aboriginal title on private property.
“Take some accountability. People are leaving (floor crossing) because of you. You’re the leader. You’re the one responsible… We have a parliamentary democracy… People vote for an MP. We don’t vote for ‘Pierre Poilievre’ in every single riding – so your MP is still your MP… It’s still the person you voted for…”
