Joly responded by naming the seven Canadians killed in the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and saying the government stands with the Jewish people. “Clearly, the guy’s unfit to become a prime minister because Canadians deserve way better,” she said, asking him to apologize. Fergus initially denied the Liberal request to keep Poilievre from speaking until he withdrew, but changed his mind Tuesday, issuing the one-day ban. Fergus noted this is not Poilievre’s first warning.
