Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's comments have sparked controversy, with some comparing his style to that of former US President Donald Trump.
Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" on the Northern Perspective podcast, citing a supposed cover-up of Liberal misadventures.
"Many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time"
He specifically mentioned the former prime minister's vacation on the Aga Khan's island in 2016 and the SNC Lavalin affair in 2018.
Poilievre's approach has been described as "Trump-style grievance politics" and may backfire nationally.
