Pierre Poilievre finally breaks down and visits a remote northern rez. With news crews following him as he tours the place, he asks the chief if there is anything the people need.
"Well," says the chief, "We have three very important needs.
First, we have a medical clinic, but no doctor."
Poilievre whips out his phone, dials a number, talks to someone for two minutes, then hangs up.
"I've pulled some strings.
Your doctor will arrive in a few days.
Now what was the second problem?"
"We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for thousands of years. We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive."
Once again, Poilievre dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people.
Now what was that third problem?"
"We have no cellphone reception up here," the chief says.
