    From the article:

    OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says it would be a “gift” for Israel to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a statement he made when asked about American opposition to an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites.

    Outside the House of Commons on Tuesday, Poilievre sidestepped a question about whether an Israeli strike against nuclear facilities in Iran could lead to a direct war between the adversaries. U.S. President Joe Biden, who like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has urged restraint to prevent the conflict from intensifying further, [told reporters](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/biden-says-he-does-not-support-attack-irans-nuclear-sites-2024-10-02/) last week that he does not support an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. 

    Poilievre, however, said Tuesday it would be “the most dangerous and irresponsible thing in the world” to allow Iran — an authoritarian regime that views Israel as illegitimate — to use those facilities to acquire nuclear weapons. 

    “If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity,” the Conservative leader said. 

    Poilievre made the statement moments after he was reprimanded in the House of Commons for claiming, one day earlier, that Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was pandering to supporters of Hamas, the group Canada deems a terrorist entity that launched the assaults on Oct. 7, 2023 in which more than 1,200 people in Israel were killed and roughly 250 taken hostage. 

    On Monday, Poilievre told a Jewish memorial event that Israel should have the right to “proactively” strike Iranian nuclear sites in order to defend itself.

  2. He’s not wrong. Iran can not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

    Of course, what a case our great canadian opposition makes by inserting himself into an already too bloody election year quarrel between friends, for the renowned canadian decency, humanity and honour!

    In other news, progressive federal liberal government silent as Canadian Palestinian protesters burn the Canada flag while chanting “Death to Canada”.

    Honestly it’s probably better for the west to just let Israel run roughshod over the mid-east at this point. After all these years the Israelis know where the vast majority of the terrorists and their hideouts are so just let ’em go through and wipe ’em all out over the next year or so and then we can all take a deep breath and figure out what to do next.

    lol! He’s all for taking away minority and labour rights too, typical Conservative thinking. This is a propaganda piece; no **reasonable** person outside of Iran (and probably inside too, they can’t all be willfully ignorant) wants Iran to have nuclear capabilities.

    He’s also a horrible piece of shit who spent his entire 20 years in Politics with a big fat zero to show for it. He was the housing minister under Steven Harper and built a whopping 6 federally funded affordable homes and he hasn’t said shit about what he plans to do for our housing crisis.

    Fuck him.

    Pierre Poilevre is three weasels doing their best impression of a man in an ill fitting suit.

    I agree 100% with the header. Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuke weapons ever.

  9. It’s not hard to detect the disdain everyone has for this guy. But can we agree that Iran with nukes is not a future literally anyone wants to see?

    Heartbreaking news: the worst person you know just made a reasonable point. 🙄

    Too late? 

    Trump really did everyone a disservice by making the Iran nuclear deal a personal political agenda just because Obama. 

    Iran sending ballistic missiles to Russia tells us all they’ve been busy.

    It’s different when someone other than trump says the obvious Ig. classic reddit.

    Pierre Poilevre wants to ban porn in Canada so no one can look up his infamous ‘Maple Syrup Enema’ pornhub video he did back in his university days.

    Pierre Poilevre consists mostly of microscopic ducks.

    And also microscopic dicks.

    Pierre Poilevre can unhinged his jaws to consume smaller prey.
