Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, in a disturbing echo of Donald Trump’s xenophobic playbook, took aim at pro-Palestinian demonstrators during a campaign rally, baselessly accusing them of fueling antisemitism and vowing to deport "foreigners" engaged in what he called "criminal hatemongering." His remarks—a transparent attempt to exploit tensions around the Israel-Gaza war for political gain—signal a dangerous lurch toward authoritarianism in Canadian politics.
