Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Leader Pierre Poilievre has stated that, if elected, he would cut funding to Canadian universities that fail to combat anti-Semitism on campus. Radio-Canada reports that the notion was initially introduced by CPC Montréal candidate Neil Oberman on Saturday. Poilievre then echoed his support for the idea at a press briefing on Sunday, stating that his government would not provide a “cent” to subsidize anti-Semitism in any form, according to the Montréal Gazette. These comments come amid sustained controversy and unrest on Canadian campuses over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
