Highly unprofessional... The entitlement of that reporter is gross

A reporters job is to report the news, not make the news. Well done to Mr. Poilievre for not falling for this reporters child like behavior.

Weird how main stream Canadian news never acted like this for Trudeau when he was running.

David Akin's display is an embarrassment to journalism and a waste of viewers valuable time.

Wow! That is the rudest journalist I have ever seen! Are they not supposed to be there to report what is being said? Ask their questions afterwards?...Has heckling become a new profession? Politics has truly become a ridicilous circus! I don't care which side you sympathize with...act respectful and wait your turn to speak!!!

[frankeinstein]

Aren’t journalists supposed to be impartial/objective???

[canadiangirl]

David Akins is unprofessional and having a melt down on live TV. He should be fired

[ngokul]

PP is street smart. He promised to take 2 questions and the heckler thanks. At the end, PP takes 2 questions from every reporter but the heckler

And they wonder why Pierre won't come on their networks. They won't even let him do a press conference.

Class versus Liberal clown. Go Pierre!!!! So proud of you 👍

[jptrainor]

Notice how the actual statement is not reported. Instead the artificially created spectacle becomes the story.

Who gave that reporter a job, senseless and mindless

[DavidHili]

Aiken was rude and should've been shown the door and his press pass taken away.

[JonniMartinez]

What that reporter did was not reporting … he is heckling and becoming a political opposition

[RM-ubxd]

He cant stand to have someone talk bad about his daddy Trudeau. His little temper tantrum was cute.

[chrisdafos]

What is wrong with this guy? He's acting like the Liberals paid him to keep interrupting Poilievre like that..

[sharonli]

He may not be a liberal heckler but definitely no professionalism and disrespectful to the point he should lose his job.

[noodle-cup]

Reporter should lose his job for being so disrespectful. Common sense that you don't interrupt when the man's speaking.

[dcs]

How rude of the Reporter / Activist. You’ve got two ears & one mouth. Use them accordingly.

[phillwilson]

Handled that pathetic heckler like a champ. Nice job!
