OTHER SIDE

Re Welcome To The Resistance, Pierre Poilievre (Sept. 28): Threats made to Pierre Poilievre’s wife point to a disturbing trend in Canada’s political discourse.

No one, not Mr. Poilievre and certainly not his wife, is deserving of such an assault. That this attack came from the founder of a farright group should sound a warning to Mr. Poilievre and all Canadians. Though he may not have sought out Jeremy MacKenzie to shake his hand, Mr. Poilievre’s brand of politics has attracted Mr. MacKenzie and others of his ilk.

And by showing support for the so-called freedom convoy, Mr. Poilievre has courted those who occupy a dangerous fringe.
