CBC reporter, Jorge Barrera, uses his precious time with the Mexican President to ask about something Pierre Poilievre said

"The leader of the Canadian opposition this past week, Pierre Poilievre, who was almost prime minister, ah, we're very close, he had a press conference and he used Mexico to contrast with the situation in Canada, which he thinks is very ugly. He said he was at the airport and had run into a lady who said she had moved to Mexico because she felt safer in Mexico than in Vancouver. And he said, imagine, he said in English, "Let that sink in." That someone thinks that it is safer in Mexico than in Vancouver, saying that things must be super ugly in Canada if they feel safer in Mexico. What do you think of that? Using Mexico, an important politician in Canada, using Mexico for that contrast, to say things are wrong here. What do you think about that?"

CBC holding the opposition to account... extraterritorially!
