There's no evidence to prove that Pierre Poilievre had an organized meeting with some extremist protesters in Atlantic Canada, says Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research.
To protest peacefully is a constitutionally protected right, but hate speech or making someone feel unsafe is unacceptable, says Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi.
