Poilievre's plan to 'defund' woke antisemitism can't come soon enough

 The Conservative leader will bring the common sense and moral clarity Canada so desperately needs

This week marks the 10th Christmas Canadians have endured under Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — 10 years of our Dec. 25th-born prime minister acting as if he’s our very own personal Jesus, without the humility, common sense, or moral clarity his birthday might suggest. From the get-go, Trudeau’s been a means to an end for Liberal party power — a famous name, flowing hair, a convenient professionally-good-looking object many lonely Canadian wives cast their adoring gazes upon — but otherwise, intellectually and morally vacuous. Thankfully, there is a solution. Pierre Poilievre will bring the common sense and moral clarity Canada so desperately needs.

On Christmas eve, Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Opposition, tweeted out a promise to Canadians and we should hold him to it: “I will defund wokism and fight antisemitism. And stand with our friends in Israel against terror.” It included a link to a statement from a telephone interview he gave last week to the Winnipeg Jewish Review.

In the statement, Poilievre did not mince words. He promised to “defund” “all of those with a woke anti-Semitic agenda.” His promise applies to “everything that the federal government controls,” and anyone “imposing a radical, terrifying, toxic ideology.” He promised to “fire government officials throughout (his) administration who are imposing a toxic woke ideology.” This would include universities, museums, and government-funded projects.

“The (Canadian Museum of Human Rights) will be there to honour our history and to tell our stories, not to impose toxic woke ideologies against our people,” he assured the Winnipeg Jewish Review.

Poilievre seems to inherently understand that a self-effacing people are not a people at all. Sadly, the same common sense cannot be attributed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who constantly apologizes for Canada and Canadians, whether it’s warranted to do so or not.

As prime minister, Justin Trudeau will forever be known as Canada’s constant underminer.

Poilievre, on the other hand, pointed out that he and his government would never fund antisemites, like Trudeau’s Liberals did when they awarded Laith Marouf’s advocacy group with more than $133,000, supposedly to combat racism. The total amount granted to Marouf was about $500,000. It was the same Laith Marouf who shamelessly took to social media to post: “You know all those loud mouthed bags of human feces, a.k.a. the Jewish White Supremacists; when we liberate Palestine and they have to go back to where they come from, they will return to being low voiced bitches of thier (sic) Christian/Secular White Supremacist Masters” and who boasted he’d form “Zionist-Hunter squads” among other colourful threats.
