Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faced criticism and opposition from the NDP for blocking access to birth control and diabetes medications in Canada. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh issued ultimatums and moved motions against Poilievre's actions. Despite the deadline passing, Poilievre continued to obstruct free access to these medications. Eventually, Conservative attempts were defeated, teaching Poilievre not to interfere with women's rights and the NDP's Pharmacare plan.
BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives just tried to cut pharmacare. We stopped them. https://t.co/Y5yiGWwH3y
Conservative attempts to block Birth Control and Diabetes medication have officially been defeated. Together, we taught Pierre Poilievre 2 lessons today. 1. Don’t mess with women’s rights. 2. Don’t mess with the NDPs Pharmacare plan.
Freedom. Choice. Affordability. We're going to stop Pierre Poilievre from denying 9 million women and Canadians access to free birth control. His obstruction of the NDPs Pharmacare plan ends today. I'm going to make sure of it. https://t.co/WyvIu52tqD
The deadline has passed. Pierre Poilievre continues to block free access to birth control for Canadians. But, that’s not all. He’s also blocking free life-saving diabetes medications. Here’s what happens next: We’re going to force another vote, defeat him and get the NDP…
Pierre Poilievre has doubled down his attack on women’s reproductive health. We just moved a motion to force him to stop his attempts to block access to Birth Control and Diabetes Medications. Conservatives said no. This isn’t over. I’ll update you on what’s next.

This weekend I gave Pierre Poilievre an ultimatum: 48 hours to stop blocking access to Birth Control for women and Canadians. Today is the deadline. He can withdraw or we’ll stop him. He’s going to learn: never mess with women’s rights in Canada again.
I’m giving Pierre Poilievre 48 hours to stop blocking the rights of women. If he doesn't, the NDP will force through legislation on free birth control. We will win this fight. https://t.co/qvZZzxvAHO
Coyne takes the bait. I hope the Liberals follow suit. He’s outraged that Poilievre has signaled that he’s not going to listen to corporate lobbyists or CEOs. And Coyne, a reliable class ally, declares himself corporate Canada’s knight in shining armour. Love it. https://t.co/6fHzw0jUbO
