What Poilievre Gets Wrong About Immigration and Canada’s Real History

Summary
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has recently intensified his anti-immigration rhetoric, threatening deportation for temporary visa holders involved in protests or what he terms "hate marches." This reflects a broader historical pattern in Canada, where immigrants are scapegoated during times of crisis, despite the country's self-image as a multicultural, welcoming society.

The article critiques this contradiction, arguing that true multiculturalism means more than celebrating diversity superficially—it requires real rights, status, and dignity for newcomers. It also challenges the legitimacy of calling anyone "illegal" on land taken from Indigenous peoples, pointing out that most Canadians are settlers living on stolen land.

The concern is that vague definitions of “hate” can be weaponized to silence marginalized groups such as Palestinians, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and Indigenous activists. Real safety, the article argues, comes not from policing and deportation, but from community support, access to healthcare, housing, and freedom from fear.

Ultimately, it questions what kind of society Canada is building—one that values conformity and control, or one that truly upholds justice, inclusion, and historical accountability.
