Around 20 to 30 people gathered at Mont-Royal metro station in Montreal on February 27 to protest Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, calling him out for scapegoating vulnerable communities while prioritizing corporate interests. Organizers warned that his policies threaten social services, democracy, and workers’ rights.
“Pierre Poilievre is a menace to our healthcare system, to our education, he’s a menace to workers’ rights and he is a menace to our democracy,” one organizer said.
Protesters pointed to Poilievre’s attempts to blame migrants for the housing crisis, his party’s support for anti-trans rhetoric, and his backing of Israel’s military actions. They also criticized his association with billionaires like Elon Musk and Canadian tech elites, arguing that his real goal is to serve the ultra-rich at the expense of everyday people.
