Counter Signal: 'According to an email from Poilievre’s campaign team, “Today, candidate for Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre demanded that Minister of Public Safety resign for making false statements to Canadians in the House of Commons and creating a fake excuse to invoke the emergencies act.”
'Poilievre cites an instance in April when Mendicino, knowingly or otherwise, explicitly spread false information regarding the justifications used in invoking the Emergencies Act.
In late April, Mendicino claimed, “It was on the advice of law enforcement that we invoked the Emergencies Act.”
'But law enforcement disputes this.
'“No, there was never a question of requesting the Emergencies Act,” RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said on May 11.'
