Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to deport foreign nationals in Canada involved in criminal hatemongering, particularly targeting participants in pro-Palestinian protests he accuses of fueling anti-Semitism. His announcement comes amid rising concerns over hate crimes and attacks on Jewish institutions in Canada.
Is this possible in Canada? I mean, is it as easy to do that in Canada?
Genuinely asking.
Probably not as things stand. Our political and judicial system is a little more robust against being abused by a small group of people than the USA’s. But I wouldn’t rule out Poilievre deciding he needs to break the rules like Trump does, and I don’t think we should give him the chance to find out how that goes.
