During a press conference, Canada’s Conservative Party leader, Pierre Poilievre, shut down a liberal media reporter who questioned his labeling of the explosion at Niagara Falls border checkpoint as an act of terrorism. Poilievre fact-checked the reporter from The Canadian Press, pointing out that the outlet had recently issued three corrections to a single article. He even joked about checking with the Guinness Book of World Records to see if this was unprecedented.

The reporter argued that Poilievre was irresponsible for citing media reports instead of official statements from authorities. However, Poilievre quickly clarified that CTV had reported that the Canadian government presumed the incident to be terrorist-related according to security officials. He challenged the reporter, asking if she believed CTV was also irresponsible.
While initial media reports speculated about a terrorist attack, security footage revealed a different story. The footage showed a car hitting a speed bump and exploding, resulting in the death of a couple inside the vehicle. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has stated that there is no reason to believe the incident is terrorism-related.
This exchange highlights the bias and inaccuracies often found in mainstream media reporting. Poilievre’s fact-checking and quick wit showcase his ability to challenge liberal narratives with confidence. It is important to rely on proper sources and not jump to conclusions before all the facts are known.
