Deep dives
Has Pierre-Pauliève been getting a free pass from the media?
This week, there was a discussion about whether Pierre-Pauliève, the leader of the Conservative Party, has received a free pass from the media. While the focus has largely been on Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government, some argue that Pierre-Pauliève has not faced the same level of scrutiny. However, others point out that it is normal for the main focus to be on the government, especially outside of election periods.
