Poilievre answered the reporter question extremely poorly and had poor tact when questioned. There is no denying this or disputing it. It was a bad moment for him. He obviously got his info from Fox News first, though the CTV did in fact also report this as a suspected terrorist attack. The FBI investigated is as suspected terrorism until it could be ruled out. He should have answered that at the time this was the information available.
To attempt to catch him in a gotcha moment to count the minutes and get a timeline of event for what many Canadians believed at first, and something where you seemed to believe as well, shows the level of political grandstanding.
The terrorism flub by a politician is a blip in the grand scheme of Canadian politics and issues that matter, and only matters to those that already call Poilievre PP and Milhouse. You weren't voting for him anyways.

I mean, I thought it was terrorism for sure. I can cop to that. The part that is the issue (in my eyes) for Polievre, is that he is so petulant and is constantly scolding everyone. It's just so off-putting. Are Canadians going to respond favourably to say a year or two of this leading up to the election?
