Why the hell are the CPC responding to Tamara Lich and even discussing anything positive about the Convoy.
Let alone Coutts, where guns were found and it could have gotten bad.
This is a very bad look for the CPC.
Glad I saved this tweet. She might be deleting it soon!
We need to lay down some facts in response to Poilievre's tweet where he said Harper had strong economic growth and did a great job in power. The facts beg to differ and why Harper was removed from power. Here is my thread to outline some clear facts. /1

I never see reporters apologize to politicians. This just further makes people wonder about conspiracies about certain media and Poilievre, but frankly this is shameful particularly because PP never answers questions, is ungrateful, displays arrogance and should be challenged.
Truly dangerous for Poilievre to be misleading like this because he knows for 20+ years Health Canada has given out licenses to companies for research and medical purposes. On safe supply, that is a completely different thing. He is purposely misleading how things work.

Why would he say "Nice try" when he was given 6 times to respond and demonstrated that he doesn't stand with workers. He never condemned it, never responded, and yet Conservatives are always the ones who demand either yes or no answers. He proved he is against workers rights.
This is just embarrassing particularly for someone seeking to be Prime Minister of Canada. Frankly, I hope all Canadians view this and see that Poilievre is truly unfit and is by all accounts seeking attention and approval by his caucus.
#cdnpoli
This should be the number one story in Canada today because this is a threat and an incitement against

The RCMP might be paying her a visit soon.
#cdnpoli
Not sure what Poilievre is even talking about because this has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.
This has nothing to do with free speech, but about Jordan Peterson expressing dehumanizing positions about others.
This is also an independent court decision.
Apparently
@CPC_HQ
MPs don't know the full clip is here and he doesn't tell Canadians to go into debt.
They are lying to Canadians but the whole clip is right here.
He talks about productive versus non-productive debt, which are economic analogies.
#cdnpoli
Conservative politicians think you should give tax breaks to the wealthy to grow the economy. That’s baloney. We know you need to make smart investments in Canadians to create growth. That’s our approach – and that’s what I spoke about during a recent town hall. Take a look:
Poilievre has a history of splicing videos and purposely taking what ministers say out of context.
How he is allowed to get away with this disinformation is beyond me?!
This week he did it to Freeland. Last week it was done twice regarding Minister Fraser.

His plan never offered rebates, so it didn't help families or anything. His plan only in his words offered market certainty. So, one could argue Harper's plan was ineffective and not well-thought out. The Feds current plan is affordable for families.
@MarkGerretsen
He is truly unfit to ever be Prime Minister.
He uses Marxist so easily without even knowing what it truly means.
But this is the real Pierre Poilievre, not those fake representations of him on TV.
This should be the crime of the decade. Canadians should condemn the Conservative party to the ashbin of history for their associations and continued associations with the Convoy. The fact that they cost the economy multi billions of dollars should be a full-fledged scandal.
This tweet was written and then deleted by a person who wants to lead an entire country. Who can take him seriously when he spouts such libelous nonsense??

Canada is obviously not broken if we can do stuff like this!

In that sense, people should realize it is all just a game to the Conservatives. They know national security privilege will prevent Katie Telford from saying anything in committee. The NDP today showed why they look for solutions and the CPC just looks for politicization.

Canada is not broke. We have a AAA credit rating and are the best nation fiscally in the G7, and we have the lowest unemployment rate since records started being recorded. The CPC are hoping for a worse economy but they presided over the worst economy since the 30s, in office.

His behavior was disgusting today,

I can tell you
@KathrynMathias1
that no politician would be given the red carpet treatment if they ever did what Poilievre does. They'd be severely held to account. I can tell you if Trudeau ever did this or any MP or minister that they'd be forced to apologize or even resign.
Poilievre's team altered this with splicing to change the meaning. This is why the polling favours the CPC. He's getting away with cheating and lying to Cdns and enough believe him to sway his polling
@shelleycarroll
@hburkitt
Affordable childcare helps out all families and can grow the economy in the end up to 1.2% of GDP more according to economists, so the CPC saying it doesn't help affordability want to return to the days of thousands of dollars each month for childcare. That is out of touch.

@RobynUrback
82 Conservatives tried to criminalize abortion in votes that happened recently on the abortion issue, so quit trying to mislead and deflect and steer away from the issue. The facts are the CPC gagged their members from speaking on the issue according to reports in the media.
@gmbutts
I say this to everyone
@gmbutts
which is if any other politician or political party did what the CPC did from January to now they would be finished and over for those associations and likely crimes. The question is why are media letting the CPC skate on these issues?
#cdnpoli
An endorsement from Harper, proving the CPC race was rigged all along. He never wanted Charest or Brown or anyone else, but he also leads the IDU, a huge conflict of interest. He was also one of the most divisive and controlling PMs in CDN history. /1
Today in Pierre Poilievre's press conference he alleged the PM caused the toxic workplaces at CSIS and RCMP, and that this is because in his words the PM divides.
Poilievre also alleged that those toxic workplaces were never toxic prior to 2015.
@_llebrun
They must want Canada to be part of the US. Many of the people part of the Convoy movement want annexation by the US, if Trump became, was or decided to be president, so they have no allegiance to Canada,
@_llebrun
. Shocked the CPC would ally with this movement.
Poilievre and his party welcomed the Freedom Convoy through misleading pictures by Lantsman, but we find out they could have attacked with their removal.
Poilievre and his party must be held accountable for continually backing this Convoy.

If he views Canada as a Marxist country, then he views all parties that have come before as Marxist parties and hates all previous Prime Ministers and views the Charter as no different than the Soviet constitution. That is the thinking and mentality of Pierre Poilievre.

This is huge because Poilievre used the Convoy to build up his base, and wanted to make it the PM's problem, but now that Diagolon and other groups within the Convoy are angry by that and calling him out, I feel that PP is angering them and they are likely to go to another party.
@TheJasonPugh
My question is why hasn't he resigned?!
He told someone he is against diversity and equity, and calls it garbage.
So many questions. And yet no one pursues him; that pathological liar.
"Statistics Canada suggest carbon taxes increased the average cost of food by about 0.33 per cent relative to what they would be in the absence of carbon taxes."
So when Rick Perkins says food, fuel and oil will increase by 23% don't believe him. Stats Canada is clear.
#cdnpoli
“Carbon pricing is definitively not to blame for affordability challenges…
the net cost of carbon taxes for households in Ontario in 2023 was negative, around -$300, meaning that most received $300 more in rebates than they paid in carbon taxes.”

Menzies had this fundraising site already setup prior to his arrest?! Wow.
This is a scandal for the Conservatives, if they knew about it.
I hope the media will inquire about this.
#cdnpoli
Poilievre is definitely the highest spending MP in parliament, and should be labeled the "fiscal responsibility hypocrite".
This should be investigated.
He is still traveling throughout the country in mass numbers, yet he wants to cut massively on the most vulnerable Canadians.
Absolutely absurd.
Pierre Poilievre‘s bills the taxpayer for his expenses - in excess of $18,600 every single day!
My guess is that after two decades as an MP, he knows an “eligible expense” when he sees it.
How is this even possible?
"That’s the message coming from the Bank of Canada this week. But it seems lost on this government. Mr. Harper has the worst economic growth record since the dismal days of R.B. Bennett." /3
The Harper administration painted itself as strong fiscal and economic managers but Harper's gov't left office with a 7.1% unemployment, stagnant growth, massive youth unemployment, some calling it a lost generation. /7
With CSIS investigating a CPC nomination race, I think
@MPJulian
that CSIS should probably investigate the CPC leadership race as well.
And it should be forwarded to the public inquiry on foreign interference.
I hope your party is aware of CSIS investigating the CPC.

@ItsDeanBlundell
Poilievre has been implicated as well, along with taking the same gatekeeper message. John Mutton/Mr. X is in the same plaza as CPC MP Colin Carrie. It is wall to wall conservatives federally and provincially in lockstep and message with these developers,
@ItsDeanBlundell
.
That is why Canadians removed them from power because of their attacks on youth, families, the middle class, democracy, our institutions, media, our safety nets, our health care system, immigrants, and on and on it went and still does. The CPC are a party for the rich. /10
"Middle-class incomes have been flat for years, while living costs and household debt have ballooned."
That is not what the Fraser Institute told us in 2014, which said Canada had a strong middle class. Middle incomes were flat according to actual statistics. /4
@andrewaperez
The media has done a very poor job at challenging Premiers, and there is no way the Poilievre Conservatives would ever formulate a list on their own because it would be torn down quite easily. That is why they will continue to make Poilievre videos that are inaccurate.
@AshleyBurkeCBC
Imagine if the Liberal party ever tried what the CPC did they would be forced to resign. When are Viersen and CPC MPs going to disclose what backing they gave the Convoy, what conversations did they have. Canadians also demand resignations and investigations.

It is so obvious that the far-right is enabling Poilievre because after checking the rules for destination flights to a particular country, no masks have to be worn in Costa Rica. Are we going to allow ourselves to continuously believe the lies of Poilievre?! Seriously!

So if Poilievre endorses Harper, then that means they both endorse terrible growth, attacking our beloved institutions, attacking the rule of law and democracy, attacking our safety nets, attacking independence, wanting a terrible economy again, and so forth. /11
"For the first time ever, over 50% of middle-class Canadians fear their children will not do as well as they did"
That is why the CCB was made to be more fair and why millions of Canadians were lifted from poverty, but for the Harper gov't that was never a priority.
Let us as progressives and Liberals help people understand why the Harper gov't was turfed from power and this thread that I created is a small snippet of why that happened but there is clearly so much more that I have to say as a student of history and as a progressive. /12
Media have to confront

about a video of Jo, a protester, who was part of a fake video at Pearson over the ArriveCAN app. The reason why it is unacceptable for any campaign to do this is because they were given a heads-up and I think it might be illegal.

Here’s Jo again. She’s an avid protester. She created a fake video at Pearson Airport over the ArriveCan app.

All one has to do is see this vote in the fall of 2022 to see that Poilievre would use the Notwithstanding Clause in power, and doesn't give a damn about respecting collective bargaining.
He also has no credibility when it comes to the economy, by backing the Convoy.

Pierre Poilievre has said many times in public records not just with this vote that he would use the NWC in many cases. Canadians should know that because it means the CPC doesn't care about our Charter and they don't care about protecting the rights of everyone.

Why would you apologize to someone who seeks to be PM, never answers questions, attacks media as the enemy according to his fundraising letter, and you acquiesce to that. This furthers Poilievre's notion that all mainstream media is the enemy and the CPC's cause to brand that?!
@CheriDiNovo
That is why, Cheri, I never understood why people continually brush off the Convoy as being peaceful, like some OPP officers did in the Inquiry. Of course, to me the Convoy is extremist. They learned from the best. And PP was their ringleader.
I don't recall the Conservatives doing anything on housing. They weren't exactly that good at keeping Canadians safe either. And they did nothing on the opioid crisis. The CPC failed on all these fronts.
One of the worst moments in parliamentary history was back in late May, with Poilievre implying PM Justin Trudeau was a pedophile.
This is who Pierre Poilievre is.
He is a rage baiter, hater, and fomenter of anger. His newfound image is a facade.

It was never about safety.
That's why Liberals lied about police asking for the Emergencies Act.
