Poilievre slams Trudeau after PM calls him not ‘woke’ enough

Trudeau made the remarks during his keynote address to the Liberal Party convention in Ottawa on Thursday night.
Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre hit back at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s suggestion that Poiliever isn’t “woke” enough to lead Canada.
Poilievre responded in a tweet, saying that Trudeau was correct. “Justin, you’re right: I’m not woke. But I am common sense and I will bring home a country that works for the people who actually do the work.”
Trudeau made the remarks during his keynote address to the Liberal Party convention in Ottawa Thursday night.
The prime minister suggested there is no such thing as being “too woke.”
“Pierre Poilievre’s populism, his slogans and buzzwords, are not serious solutions to the serious challenges we’re facing,” Trudeau said “Too woke?” Trudeau asked in apparent disbelief. “Hey, Pierre Poilievre, it’s time for you to wake up.”
But Poilievre, in a monologue recorded for Twitter, insisted on specifying what woke really means for Trudeau.
