Poilievre, who was previously photographed shaking MacKenzie’s hand at a Conservative leadership campaign event in Nova Scotia, called MacKenzie and the other man in the video “dirtbags” and “losers” and said he will not tolerate people threatening his family.

He is facing assault and firearms charges in Saskatchewan and his native Nova Scotia related to separate incidents.
