Poilievre supports abortion rights and access to abortion in Canada.[286][8][287] He stated that a government led by him would not introduce and would not pass any legislation restricting access to abortion, though he would allow his caucus to have free votes on legislation.[288] In 2010, he supported a bill that would have criminalized pressuring a person to get an abortion and a motion where Parliament would have studied when a fetus should be considered a human.[289] In 2020, he changed his position and said that a government led by him would never introduce a bill on the topic, and no private ones would be adopted.[290] In 2021, Poilievre opposed a private member bill prohibiting sex-selective abortion.[291]
Poilievre supports same-sex marriage after previously opposing it; in a 2020 interview, he called it a "success" and stated: "I voted against it 15 years ago. But I learned a lot."[290] In 2005, he gave a speech opposing same-sex marriage while favouring civil unions as an alternative and voted in favour on the motion to introduce legislation to reinstate an opposite-sex only definition of marriage in 2006.[8][292] He had also requested Finance Minister Jim Flaherty withhold money spent on sex reassignment surgery from Canada Health Transfer payments.[293] In 2021, Poilievre voted in favour of banning conversion therapy in a free vote.[294]
In September 2023, Poilievre accused Trudeau of "demonizing concerned parents" after the prime minister released a statement in support of LGBTQ+ Canadians on Twitter in response to anti-gender movement protests.[295] Poilievre's comments were condemned from the executive director of LGBTQ+ advocacy group Egale Canada.[296] In February 2024, when asked by reporters for his views on Premier of Alberta Danielle Smith's transgender legislation and if he was against minors under 18 using puberty blockers to support medical gender transition, Poilievre affirmed his support for the decision.[297] In response to reporters asking if he believes transgender women should be allowed in women's change rooms and washrooms, Poilievre stated that "Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males"; however, he also stated that federal jurisdiction would not have the reach to legislate on the matter.[298] In January 2025, when asked if he agreed with Donald Trump's executive order which stated that the United States federal government will only recognize two genders, male and female, Poilievre said that he was only aware of two genders, but added that "we should have a government that just minds its own damn business and leaves people alone to make their own personal decisions. That's the kind of government I'm going to run."[299][300] Several Canadian LGBT rights organizations denounced Poilievre's comments for denying the existence of transgender people.[301] Poilievre has decried "woke culture".[302][303]
Poilievre supports maintaining the legalization of soft drugs such as marijuana,[304] while he opposes the decriminalization of "hard drugs",[305] stating: "We're not talking about marijuana here, we're talking about highly lethal drugs that can stop a person's heart."[306] This is after previously voting against the legalization of marijuana in 2017.[307] He advocated for more treatment and recovery for those suffering from addictions which are "deadly" and that drug dealers should be facing "strong policing & tough sentences".[305] Poilievre plans to fund treatment and recovery for addicts by suing the pharmaceutical companies responsible for the opioid epidemic.[308]
Constitutional issues
Poilievre stated that he is in favour of freedom of expression and seeks to repeal Bill C-11 (Online Streaming Act) and the successor to Bill C-36 (Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act), describing them as censorship.[309] Poilievre plans to remove the proposed "digital safety commissioner" position with the introduction of what he titles as the Free Speech Act and would leave enforcement of crimes committed online to law enforcement.[310] Poilievre stated a government led by him would scrap direct federal research and other grants to universities if they do not commit to section 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects freedom of expression. Poilievre also stated he would appoint a 'Free Speech Guardian' (on the condition that they are a former judge) that would ensure compliance to section 2(b), investigate claims of academic censorship, report to the federal government on the universities that refuse to uphold the Charter right, and recommend cuts to direct federal grants to universities that do not uphold the right.[311]
Poilievre announced his support of those in the Canada convoy protest who were protesting peacefully, while denouncing individuals who were seen as promoting extremism.[312][313] Poilievre believes that the federal government abused its power by invoking the Emergencies Act during the convoy protests and proposes limiting its power to prevent it from being used similarly in the future.[314][315]
Amid the 2026 Alberta independence referendum, Poilievre spoke in support of the "remain in Canada" option, but stated that those who do support independence "are not our enemies."[316]
Immigration
In 2022, Poilievre described himself as pro-immigration and put forward policies aiming to speed up processing times to reunite families, keep refugees safe, and get jobs filled in Canada.[317] Poilievre stated that a government led by him would negotiate agreements with provinces to license qualified professionals within 60 days of receiving applications, provide study loans to aid new immigrants in passing examinations, and permit immigrants to receive licences before moving to Canada.[318][208] Poilievre proposes establishing direct flights to Amritsar, India.[319] In June 2023, Poilievre, as well as NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, joined protesters in support of students who were facing deportation for being scammed into moving to Canada on fake admission letters to universities.[320][321]
Poilievre has since argued that Canada should pursue reductions on immigration and asylum intake. In 2024, he described Liberal Party's approach to immigration as "radical and out of control" and argued Trudeau's government has "destroyed our immigration system".[322] Poilievre argued that before Trudeau became prime minister, Canada maintained a multi-generational consensus on immigration, bringing in immigrants at a level that the housing market, job market, and healthcare system could absorb.[323] After data published by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRBC) showed a substantial rise in asylum cases from Mexico, Poilievre called on the Canadian government to reinstate visa requirements for Mexico which had been imposed by previous Conservative government before Trudeau abolished this policy in 2016. In January 2024, Poilievre argued that the removal of visa requirements had led to an increase in immigration fraud and abuses of the asylum process.[324][325]
In 2024, Poilievre stated that if he became prime minister he would significantly reduce the numbers of asylum seekers and temporary residents, citing the high amount of new arrivals compared to Canada's housing supply.[326] During a June 2024 speech in Quebec, Poilievre said that current levels of immigration into Canada are too high and in government he would link immigration numbers to the number of homes built, citing lack of accommodations and the capacity of the healthcare system to support current migrant numbers.[327][328] Poilievre also spoke in favour of smaller population growth by mitigating immigration numbers and in June 2025 stated that Canada needs "more people leaving than coming for the next couple years."[323][329][330][331]
Poilievre has called for a tougher policy against illegal immigration and has accused the Trudeau government of allowing illegal border crossings at Roxham Road to continue. In 2023, he stated irregular border crossing points should be closed and loopholes allowing illegal migration to be ended by amending the "Safe Third Country Agreement".[332][333] In October 2024, he stated that a Conservative government under his leadership would introduce further border control and background screening measures of immigrants to stop foreign citizens with criminal and terrorism convictions from entering Canada.[334][335] In June 2025, Poilievre stated that the "border has been left wide open" and that it has caused "the free flow of drugs, illegal migration, human trafficking and much worse."[336]
In an interview with Juno News, Pierre Poilievre said that under his Conservative government he would go back to Stephen Harper era's Permanent Residence numbers of around 200k-250k and deport those who overstay on their temporary visa.[337] Saying that "It will be a lot more like the Harper era numbers that were the same basically for 40 years before Trudeau took office. We were bringing around 200-250k a year in citizens".[338] Down from the previously planned 500,000 Permanent Residence numbers from the Liberal government, in which they faced criticism for worsening Canada's housing crisis, putting pressure on Trudeau to state "we didn't get the balance quite right",[339] and announcing reduced numbers of 395k to 365k from 2025–2027,[340] higher than what Poilievre pledged.
In September 2025, Poilievre proposed ending the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.[341] On September 9, Poilievre stated that he does not blame the immigrants or the temporary foreign workers but instead blames government policies.[342] On the following day, he further stated "The international students and foreign workers themselves, they’re great people [...] But the Liberal government has so totally screwed up our immigration system".[343]
Healthcare
Poilievre supports Canada's public healthcare system, stating: "I believe everybody should be able to get public health care. That's the system I've relied on my whole life."[344] Poilievre plans to address healthcare shortages in Canada by implementing interprovincial standardization for doctors and nurses which he would call the "Blue Seal" program and also by ensuring provinces expedite the approval of professional credentials of certified immigrants to increase the number of health care providers.[345][346] Poilievre pledged to uphold Prime Minister Trudeau's healthcare funding set in 2023 for the provinces but shared provincial premiers' criticisms of the funding being too low and he blamed Trudeau for overspending elsewhere.[347]
In June 2022, Poilievre introduced private members Bill C-278, Prevention of Government-imposed Vaccination Mandates Act, which would end federally enforced COVID-19 vaccine mandates.[348][349] In October 2022, Poilievre voted in support of a Conservative private member's bill to amend the Criminal Code, prohibiting the act of coercing health professionals to euthanize patients in medical assistance in dying, with the aim of upholding "freedom of conscience" in section 2(a) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.[350] The bill was defeated when all Liberal, NDP, and Bloc members voted against it.[351]
Firearms
Poilievre opposes re-establishing the long-gun registry, and opposes the May 1, 2020, and December 5, 2024, Orders in Council,[352] which banned over 1,324 models of firearms.[353] Poilievre states that the best civilian firearms policy for Canada is to improve policing of gun smuggling and is opposed to placing further restrictions on licensed firearms owners and sports shooters.[354][355]
Personal life
Poilievre and his wife Anaida at a campaign rally in April 2022
After moving to Ottawa, Poilievre dated Conservative political advisor and lobbyist Jenni Byrne until 2011.[356]
In December 2017, Poilievre married Anaida Galindo, a Senate aide, in a ceremony in Portugal.[357] Their first child, a daughter, was born in October 2018.[358] In September 2021, the Poilievres welcomed their second child, a son.[359]
Poilievre and his family reside in the Stornoway residence. Although this residence is normally reserved for the Leader of the Opposition, who must be a sitting MP, they were given permission to continue living there following the 2025 election by the interim opposition leader, Andrew Scheer, until Poilievre was re-elected.[360][361][362]
According to his disclosure statement to the federal ethics commissioner, Poilievre co-owns a real estate investment company that owns a condo in the Calgary area, which he rents out to a tenant.[363] His wife, Anaida Poilievre, also owns a rental property in the Ottawa suburb of Orleans, which she bought in 2012 and took out a mortgage on in 2020. Poilievre has defended his investments, saying that he and his wife are "helping solve the problem by providing affordable rental accommodations to two deserving families". While residing at Stornoway, Poilievre said that his wife used the equity in her property to "maximize the best interests of her financial position."[364]
Poilievre is bilingual, speaking fluent English and French.[290] Poilievre's Fransaskois father, Donald, taught him to preserve his French speaking competency from an early age.[10]
