Pierre Poilievre stepped into the culture war on Sunday with a video decrying the assaults on Canada’s national culture that have erupted during Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. Some of these are the direct fault of that government, such as the new passports that demean and cheapen Canadian heritage.

Other incidents featured in the video, such as statue toppling and the vandalism of universities during the past year’s anti-Israel riots, are not directly Trudeau’s fault. However, his government has laid the groundwork for anti-Canadian ideas and done nothing to dissuade that radical, criminal activism.
