Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is urging the Canadian government to officially designate Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist organization.
Speaking at a press conference in Toronto, Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not taking stronger action against groups like the Houthis and Samidoun, which he claims have ties to terrorism. Poilievre’s call comes amid growing concerns over national security and rising anti-Semitism, with Jewish advocacy groups also pushing for stronger measures.
The Trudeau government has stated it is considering all options in response to these concerns.

Poilievre's obsession with labeling everything as terrorism feels like a distraction from addressing the root causes of conflict. Instead of playing politics with fear, we should be focusing on humanitarian aid and diplomacy to help stabilize Yemen.
It’s about time someone called for stronger action against groups like the Houthis and Samidoun, especially with their ties to terrorism and anti-Semitism. Trudeau needs to stop dragging his feet and make it clear that Canada won’t tolerate organizations that support violence against Jews or undermine peace in the Middle East.

It's about time someone like Poilievre is pushing Trudeau to take real action on security issues. The Houthis have a history of violence and ties to Iran, so labeling them as terrorists should be a no-brainer. Trudeau’s government always seems to drag its feet when it comes to making tough decisions like this. If we don't get serious about terrorism now, we’re just inviting more problems in the future. Poilievre is right to prioritize national security over political correctness. Hopefully, this pressure will force Trudeau to finally do something meaningful for Canadians' safety.
