Poilievre Blocks Press Access During Campaign: Critics Cite Trumpian Tactics
The Conservative Party, under leader Pierre Poilievre, will not allow journalists to travel with him during the upcoming federal election campaign, breaking decades of precedent. This decision, citing increased travel costs and the rise of digital access, will replace embedded reporters with advance notice of events and remote access options like video conferencing and a party-provided media feed. Other major parties have stated they will continue to allow embedded journalists. The move has drawn criticism, with some suggesting it indicates a lack of transparency and accessibility.
