He’s feeding the conspiracy theory that the legacy media are all on the payroll of the Liberal party.

I said it yesterday on here, but if PP wants to win the next federal election he needs to cut out the 'conspiracy-theory' 'online-troll' vibe he gives off. He needs to be the mature one in the room and cultivate a positive vision for Canada.
Once Akin started interrupting him yesterday, he should have talked to Akin like a disappointed father would talk to his son. A sort of "you're better than this". Canadians (in my mind anyways) would have seen Akin as the idiot in the situation. Instead, PP decided to match Akin's stupidity with his own brand of stupidity.
PP can drop the 'woke', 'radical', 'liberal news' whatevers, and leave it to the actual online trolls that support him. They will gladly spin that narrative for him. I'd hope he'd pivot and now rise above it all. But so far, it's not looking good.
