Pierre Poilievre Vows to Deport Foreigners Supporting Palestine

Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party and currently on the campaign trail, took a strong stance against foreign nationals participating in solidarity actions for Palestine. Speaking in Ottawa, he stated that anyone in the country on a tourist or temporary visa who takes part in pro-Palestinian protests will be deported if found “breaking the law or spreading hate.”

“If you're in Canada temporarily and participate in events where hatred is incited — you're leaving Canada. It's that simple,” said Poilievre. He added that such protests, in his view, “promote antisemitism” and “pose a threat to public safety.”

These remarks came amid mass pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Montreal, Toronto, and other cities. The protests have also spread to university campuses, where students have set up tent encampments and held anti-war actions regarding Gaza. While most of the events have remained peaceful, authorities have reported a few public order violations now under investigation.

Poilievre’s rhetoric echoes recent statements by Donald Trump, who also vowed to deport foreign students in the U.S. for participating in pro-Palestinian protests. Both politicians cite “national security threats” and “antisemitic propaganda,” while disregarding the peaceful and human rights-driven nature of the majority of the demonstrations.

Poilievre’s remarks have sparked concern among civil rights advocates. Civil liberties organizations have raised alarms about potential threats to freedom of expression and the risk of ethnic or political persecution. Critics argue that such statements are aimed at intimidating pro-Palestinian communities and scoring political points by demonizing dissent.
