Today I called out @PierrePoilievre for his horrific practice of using hateful, misogynistic YouTube tags to attract incel groups known to promote violence towards women. RETWEET if you agree it’s time for Pierre to apologize and take responsibility. #cdnpoli

Canadians deserve answers about how & why Pierre Poilievre enabled & amplified dangerous online movements. That’s why, earlier today, I wrote the Speaker of the House of Commons calling for an investigation into his longstanding use of hateful and misogynistic social media tags.

Hey @AndrewScheer and @CPC_HQ , it’s the 21st century, which means women and women alone should decide what happens to their bodies. I’m proud to be a part of a Government that understands this and will always stand up for a women’s right to choose!

Erin O’Toole is already following through on his commitments to the anti-choice movement. He already said he would let a province restrict access to abortion services.

This is troubling. Erin O'Toole won't stop a province from restricting abortion access. He pretends he’s pro-choice, but let 81 of his own MPs vote for a bill to restrict access, & he’s given them a free pass to do so again. O'Toole says one thing, then says & does the opposite.

Erin O’Toole’s “100% pro-life voting record” includes voting in favour of Bill C-225, which tried to make it illegal to cause injury or death to a preborn child. This was a backdoor attempt at making abortion illegal.

And just days after the Conservatives appointed Gen. Vance, the police investigation was suddenly dropped.  According to this ATIP, the commanding officer said he was under “pressure.”  From who? 2/3 #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre said Canadians can “opt-out” of inflation by investing their life savings in crypto. Canadians would be wise to opt-out of taking financial advice from him. #cdnpoli

Poilievre has also jumped to the defense of Jordan Peterson, who continues to spread far-right, misogynistic rhetoric, & he was proud to walk alongside individuals with links to right-wing extremists last summer.

Today in Whitby, we announced a $20 million investment at Gerdau to create 108 new jobs, and secure 710 more across our province. This investment demonstrates our commitment to stand with our steel workers and the innovative, world-class products they produce.

Vaccines are safe and effective. They’re how we end this pandemic. And yet Erin O’toole’s Conservatives continue to spread misinformation while many of their own caucus members refuse to get vaccinated.

Never have Canadian children been used as shields for adults. Parents question vaccinating kids 5-12 without long-term data, a low risk of fatality, & cautions echoed around the world, when the treatment neither prevents transmitting or getting the virus.

Climate change is real and we need to act now so future generations have a cleaner and healthier Canada. Our Government is taking action by putting a price on pollution and making life more affordable for Canadians through the Climate Action Incentive.

Conservatives say they don’t want to re-open the debate on a woman’s right to choose. Well, here we were tonight in the House of Commons dealing with a @CPC_HQ Bill that would attempt backdoor legislation to take away a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body. #cdnpoli

Poilievre has deliberately tried to promote his content to & connect with incel, right-wing, anti-women, violent groups. This dangerous rhetoric has devasting & very real-life consequences, like the Toronto van attack.

When Poilievre talks about freedom, does he mean the freedom to introduce anti-choice legislation? Or does he mean the freedom to dine with extremist far-right anti-immigrant politicians?

It says a lot about the Conservative leadership race when candidates are asked to denounce white replacement theory. In 2022 I’d hope this was a given 1 day after claiming not to support this type of rhetoric here’s Pierre using the same conspiracy theory dog whistle as Pat King

If Erin O’Toole believes racism & Islamophobia has no place in the Conservative party, I call on him to denounce the racist & deplorable behaviour from his candidate in Pickering-Uxbridge & clarify where his party stands on accepting candidates with these shameful views. Thread⬇️

He would let them support anti-choice bills again. In the 2017 leadership, O'Toole promised that “Members of his Caucus would be free to introduce Private Members Bills or Motions on matters of conscience” - a free pass to introduce bills to limit a woman's right to choose.
