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.

More like "And how are you going to verify the age?" "Jeez, am I the one that has to think of everything??"
