Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has responded to recent comments by CBC’s President and CEO, Catherine Tait, who said that the federal opposition leader has been stoking criticism of the government-funded public broadcaster.

“CBC’s overpaid President & CEO is not even pretending to be unbiased,” Poilievre wrote in a Twitter post on Feb. 9. “She launched a partisan attack against me, proving my claim that the $1.2 billion corporation is a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau.”
