Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre has promised to bring in tougher laws to target antisemitic crime in Canada, including deporting visitors who engage in such crimes and imposing tougher penalties for anti-Jewish vandalism and arson. Poilievre attributed the increase in antisemitic incidents to Liberal Party policies and rhetoric. He expressed support for the Jewish community and vowed to fight for their safety and acceptance. Poilievre also blamed radical liberal policies and divisive rhetoric for the rise in hate crimes and called for unity among Canadians. His statements have received praise from labor union leader Joseph Mancinelli.
