Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa on Monday, Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre was asked to clarify what exactly he was referring to in a pointed comment he made to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during question period in the House of Commons last week.
An-already heated debate during question period last Wednesday took a personal turn when Poilievre mocked Trudeau's past career as a high school drama teacher.
When Trudeau retorted that he was "having trouble" remembering what Poilievre did before entering politics, the Conservative leader responded that he also was struggling to remember why Trudeau left his former teaching position "right in the middle of the semester."
Poilievre said Monday he made the jab because Trudeau has a history of not finishing what he starts, in his view. Plus, when asked to clarify what he meant when he asked Trudeau why he left, Poilievre said to ask the prime minister instead.
