Since the usual crew is here now exactly on cue (and I simply don't have the time to reply one by one), let's go back to the video as some have forgotten or have chosen to ignore what they are even arguing about anymore and just piggybacking on whatever they can find where it stops being a discussion. Let's recap.
Reporter's question: "A number of your own comments and actions has been
characterized as dog-whistling to the far-right...by a number of different experts" Are you trying to court the far right vote?"
Poilievre: "Who? By who? Experts? Who are the experts?"
My own post answering the question verbatim: "it was Trudeau who characterized Poilievre as a dog-whistler, which is why Poilievre called her out on her line of question. That is why she could not answer"
Fuzz and co. within minutes of my post, google fu for the sole purpose to prove me wrong quickly typing "Pierre pollovere dog whistling"...until they see Trudeau #1 "dog-whistle" the exact same term used by the reporter, they consciously choose to omit it, go down to trusted mainstream sources like Crier media, Rabble, Xtramagazine, a guy using #peepee tags, quoting random small time journalists down past page 2, 3, 4, anything they can find just to answer on behalf of the reporter who couldn't answer her own statement...clearly for non-partisan reasons of course to prove me wrong. Let that sink in for a second.
Does Poilievre pander to the far right? Yes. You don't need to search articles to prove me wrong since I never stated he didn't.
Who famously characterized Poilievre as dog-whistling? #1 google result that doesn't need strong google fu and could easily be remembered? The most notable one? Trudeau.
Did Trudeau invent the word "dog-whistle" itself as a term? Clearly not. To insinuate that is what I claimed is disingenuous and outright idiotic. He did not invent the term.

Is he the only notable one in reference to Poilievre? Despite some intense google fu by some...yes? Unless you want to count the #peepee guy as a notable expert? So he did in fact coin it in reference to Poilievre. "a term coined by Trudeau specifically a year ago" should read "a term referring to Poilievre coined by Trudeau specifically a year ago". Sorry clearly my bad since some of you could go so far as distort this into a completely different meaning. But sure grasp at straws, nothing gets passed "The Crew".
What term did the reporter use again? "characterized as dog-whistling"
Her question was loaded with a buzzword to fit a partisan narrative of how Poilievre was being portrayed, she got called out for it and could not answer her own claim.
Regardless of whether Poilievre legitimately panders to the far right or not (which seems to be what some of you are clinging to as an argument), that is irresponsible journalism.
Oh and "google fu" has been a thing for ages
