Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the deployment of Canada’s armed forces to clamp down on illegal border crossings in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs that come into effect February 4th.

BREAKING: Poilievre calls for military to secure Canada/US border


He is demanding that the federal government mobilize military helicopters and surveillance tools to secure Canada’s borders.

Poilievre’s plan would see the armed forces actively assisting in preventing illegal entries—an unprecedented move aimed at appeasing the U.S. and pausing tariffs—while also serving as a sharp rebuke of the Trudeau government’s lax immigration policies.

The Conservative leader has previously stated has criticized the Liberal government’s failure to stem the flow of illegal crossings and has proposed harsh immigration cuts if he becomes Prime Minister.

The call for military intervention comes amid incoming Trump tariffs and concerns that Canada’s border security has been compromised, with thousands entering the country illegally each year. 

Poilievre’s proposal to use military resources—including helicopters for aerial surveillance—marks a dramatic escalation in Canada’s border enforcement strategy. 

His stance aligns with growing frustrations among Canadians who feel the federal government has prioritized open-border policies over national security.

As the Conservative leader doubles down on national security in response to Trump’s incoming tariffs, this move sets up a major political showdown ahead of the next federal election.

The question remains—will Trudeau act?

The Feds ignored our borders for nine years. Their lax and lack of action on the borders has come to bite us all. Now they think their recent actions will make citizens forget their poor governance.

The Conservatives offer sound action plans.

We have no military Pierre, the USA pays and protects us while we arrogantly mock and jeer them. Buffoons , low info buffoons. We do not even have bullets, but hey we managed to find more money for liberal social agendas recently , further mocking Trump. Pierre needs to re focus on informing lemmings in the East that unless the liberals are removed and a new government takes over, Canada is doomed .
