Chickenshit conservative traitor.

I like to think he just doesn’t have any advice.

Well, kids don't vote, so in his lifetime it's not going to matter to him, which tells you everything you need to know about his policies and political ambitions.

The kinds of things you tell children as advice or to encourage them are directly opposed to Poilievre's messaging. Let's think about the usual type of things:

Stay in school; conservatives are anti-education
Be kind; his strategy is anger and division
Stay safe; tough on crime, because it is out of control (and its Trudeau's fault)
You can do anything; (you can't do anything because) Canada is broken

CPC values are literally inappropriate for children.

To be fair, sometimes a press deadline is just unreasonable. My dad was called for comment on a recent corporate acquisition. At the time, he was driving to another province to pick up my older sister who had three days' notice to head back home to fill a spot in a classroom. She was on a waiting list and their vehicle even broke down during the trip. This was during the age of car phones, but airtime was so costly, we never used ours. The newspaper made it seem like he didn't want to comment.

Sometimes life just happens at an inconvenient time.

Sure, that's fair. However, it's a bit of whataboutism. Bit of a difference between your dad, with comments on a corporate deal, and the leader of a major political party. Not saying that was what you were trying to do.
