On Thursday, Poilievre only pointed to CTV when talking about the “media reports” to which he was referring. But it appears Poilievre asked his question in the House before CTV’s reporting was published.

The timestamp on the article indicates that it was published at 2:39 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Subsequent tweets from the article’s author and CTV itself were published at 2:40 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. respectively. Poilievre asked his question at 2:25 p.m.

A number of American news outlets had begun reporting the incident as a terrorist attack before CTV’s article was published. A Fox News reporter tweeted that the explosion was a terrorist attack just before 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

    Little PP sucks at doing anything consequential, so the only space he can occupy is that of a whiny child screaming for ice cream.
