Adopting an uber ‘woke’ position Pierre Poilievre wants to “defund” institutions to protect “feelings”. The Conservative Party leader recently repeated his threat to defund universities that fail to suppress criticism of Israel that make Jews “uncomfortable”.

On Tuesday supremacist journalist Rhonda Spivak reported: “Pierre Poilievre told the Winnipeg Jewish Review in an exclusive telephone interview Dec 18, 2024 that he will not tolerate and will ‘defund’ ‘all of those with a woke anti-Semitic agenda’ including at universities who receive federal funding, as well as all federally funded museums. He re-iterated that he plans to ‘defund’ all ‘those who are imposing a radical, terrifying, toxic ideology’ and this will apply to ‘everything that the federal government controls.’ He stated ‘I will fire government officials throughout my administration who are imposing a toxic woke ideology.’”

On X Polievre posted the interview stating, “I will defund wokism and fight antisemitism. And stand with our friends in Israel against terror.” To ensure the interview’s wide circulation, the Conservative leader reposted the party’s candidate in York Centre Roman Baber sharing it with the comment, “Polievre will: Crack down on terrorist networks that Trudeau allowed on Canada’s streets! Cancel toxic wokism in federal institutions & fire officials who impose woke ideology. Defund anti-semitism in government & academia. Bravo Pierre!”

This isn’t the first time Polievre has said he would cut university budgets to ensure Jews don’t “feel uncomfortable”. Two months ago, Poilievre said his government would deny federal funding to universities that “spread antisemitism or make Jews feel unsafe and uncomfortable on their campuses.”

In response to Poilievre’s recent post US author Anya Parampil highlighted the ‘woke’ nature of Poilievre’s plan. She noted, “‘fighting antisemitism’ is playing into the most woke, ultimate victim mentality: Zionism.’” “Defunding” universities to protect Jewish students’ “feelings” is peak ‘woke’.  (more...)
