Pierre Poilievre says he doesn't like the expletive-laden flags some Canadians are using to denounce Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
But the federal Conservative leader also says he understands the anger fuelling such displays, and that it is up to the government and politicians to address it.O'Toole says he is concerned that the flags are symptomatic of the growing political polarization in Canada, which is normalizing rage and aggressive rhetoric.
The flags have become particularly linked to the "Freedom Convoy" protests, whose members Poilievre courted during his run for the Conservative leadership. Poilievre says it's easy for politicians to tell people to stop complaining, but that many Canadians are angry because they are hurting financially and in other ways.
