Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre is denouncing the so-called ``white replacement theory'' that is fuelling racism in the US.

He calls it ``ugly and disgusting hate-mongering.''

In a statement to The Canadian Press, he also condemned the deadly shooting rampage at a store in Buffalo that left 10 people dead, mostly Black.

US law enforcement is investigating the shooter's online posts, which include the conspiracy theory that there's a plot to diminish the influence of white people in America by bringing in more non-white immigrants.

Poilievre was responding to a tweet by fellow leadership contestant Patrick Brown pointing out that Pat King, one of the leaders of the February ``Freedom Convoy'' that Poilievre supported, has spread the conspiracy theory online.

Brown called on his rival to ``condemn this hate.''

Addressing his caucus, Poilievre said that in the current challenging period, including the impact of U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, Conservatives have a duty to put the country before the party. He said the Conservatives would support decisions by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government when they believe those decisions are in Canada’s interest, while opposing policies they disagree with.
