    When asked whether his government would require porn websites to verify the age of users, Poilievre gave a one-word answer: “Yes.”

    He didn’t offer further explanation, and his office quickly followed up with a clarifying statement asserting that the Tories don’t believe in the imposition of a digital ID.

    Sooooo a pop-up that says “Are you 18 or over? Yes / No”?

    Or will he decide that Yes, digital IDs are something we believe in afterall?

      He’s doing the typical conservative move of saying one thing to reporters and then his office releasing a statement saying another. That way the people who don’t like porn can refer to his answer to the question and those who do can refer to his office’s statement.
