Pierre Poilievre makes stop in Winnipeg

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre visited Winnipeg’s Agape Table on Thanksgiving.

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was in Winnipeg on Monday, helping to feed the city’s most vulnerable.

On Thanksgiving, Poilievre visited Agape Table, where he joined volunteers and Conservative MPs to pack boxes for the non-profit organization that provides food and support to those in need.

Poilievre said Winnipeggers have been suffering from the “raging” cost of living and crime crises, which he blames on the Liberals.

“Their crazy spending and tax increases have made life unaffordable and that’s why we see more homelessness on the streets of Winnipeg,” he said.

“Catch-and-release Liberal bail has meant more crime.”

The Conservative leader said he wants to leave Winnipeggers with a message of hope, adding that he’s working towards improved take-home pay, as well as affordability and safe streets.
