Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants to “clean up” Canada’s streets and parks—not with care, but with cuffs. His plan? Give police sweeping powers to tear down homeless encampments and arrest people whose only crime is putting up a tent to survive.
“Public spaces must be safe for everyone. We will take back our streets and restore order in our communities,” Poilievre declared at a campaign stop in Hamilton, sounding less like a compassionate leader and more like a law-and-order drill sergeant on a crackdown spree.
But here’s the glaring question: where exactly will these homeless, poor, and mentally ill people go? What happens after their tents are torn down? Will they be pushed out of sight and out of mind, left to rot in alleys, under bridges, or in some forgotten warehouse?
This isn’t a plan—it’s a purge. Is this the vision Poilievre has for Canada? A cold, calculated leadership with no heart, no soul, and certainly no empathy. It’s not just conservative—it’s cruel.
It reeks of Trumpism: all force, no humanity. Is this really the Canada we want?

Dear Promod Ji:
I have lived in Canada for 55 years, and this is the first time I am afraid of an election outcome. More specifically, I am scared that Pierre Poilievre might become Canda’s Prime Minister.
The last thing we need in Canada is another Trump. Pierre Poilievre has given every indication that he would be like Trump.
He has stated that, if elected, he would override constitutionally protected rights and freedoms to implement a “tough on crime” agenda. He would be the first-ever prime minister to take such an extreme step. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms outlines fundamental rights and freedoms, including freedom of religion, freedom of expression, the presumption of innocence, the right to be told the reasons for being detained or arrested, the right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause, equality rights and prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. The premise of constitutionally protected rights and freedoms is that they exist to protect each one of us, beyond the political motivations of government of the day.
Some provincial governments have invoked the notwithstanding clause in recent years to override labour and equality rights. For a prime minister to use it at the federal level would set a dangerous precedent.
Pierre Poilievre has stated that he would eliminate “woke ideology” from the public service, federal funding for university research and military culture. When asked what he meant by “woke” he was unable to do so. The word “woke” is so vague that it could mean anything with which he doesn’t agree.
These are just two of my reasons although I can list many more.
I want to see someone elected as a prime minister who is committed to building a caring and compassionate society. That is not Pierre Poilievre. If he becomes prime minster, Canada would be more divided, less caring and isolated.

Thanks dear Harinder for your very thoughtful and warning signs if this guy becomes the next Canadian PM. I agree with you and share the same fears.
