Pretty much everyone has forgotten that the feds were told to get out of social housing and simply transfer money to the provinces. The provinces took the money and many did nothing.
Liar liar pants on fire. My daughter’s dad is an American and she is not dual. You have to apply for dual status. It is not automatically conferred to the child of an American. As an adult Scheer filed taxes every year with the U.S. government but he forgot to tell us.
The Wilson-Raybould victim narrative was crafted by a man we now know was being paid by the Conservatives. That is why JWR was determined to drag her own leader down. You are damn right that I have my knickers in a knot. This is despicable! She was secretly helping
@andrewscheer
Today, Prime Minister

spoke with Alberta media during which he managed to call Albertans fools, claimed the carbon tax was saving Alberta families thousands of dollars, and condemned anyone supportive of parental involvement in their child’s education.

Saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend John Crosbie. A great Newfoundlander, and a great Canadian! His contributions to the province and the country he loved will be long remembered! Our thoughts go out to Jane and his wonderful family at this time of grief. RIP John
BTW I studied in France in 1973 and they had gender-neutral bathrooms. Nothing happened. Don’t teach your children to be afraid. Teach them to be open.
@Sheila_Copps
I don’t want men in with my daughter and her friends in secluded spaces where they could be unsafe. I really don’t want to go to washroom with male co-workers,because that’s going to be the next step,no more women or men spaces.Get with the program here!!
What ethical lawyer would secretly tape their client? This proves Wilson-Raybould has had a hidden agenda from the beginning. How could anyone trust her now?
Scheer makes another false statement, claiming Trudeau has broken the law. Absolutely not true. The Con leader needs to stop promoting falsehoods about his opponents and start promoting his own policies.
Jason Kenney is threatening to leave Canada because the rest of us treat Alberta so badly but in the meantime he is in Ontario minus Ford telling us how to vote. Not sure anyone is listening, especially the teachers and parents of school-age children.
Funny you didn’t mind when Prime Minister Harper attended WEF. BTW CP is not a part of the CBC. Just because you repeat lies doesn’t make them true. Ask Trump.
Trudeau’s media are desperate to stop his continued downfall. Today, CBC’s news service CP wrote a hit piece on me because I dared criticize the World Economic Forum—a group of multinational CEOs and powerful politicians that push their interests.
I work for our people in this…
We grew complacent and lazy. We waited around far too long hoping, expecting, that someone else would come along and put in the effort to right the ship.
Slowly, ever so slowly freedoms were quietly removed, our media was bought off, our once highly respected Armed Forces…
Lorrie, I can say with certainty. You never gave the Liberals a honeymoon. Your political hatred is long-standing and palpable. When I was 31 you wrote a column attacking me for having a Roman Helmet haircut and calling me stupid. 35 years later you do the same thing to all Libs.
Were you unsure during the years of puff pieces about Justin Trudeau after he won the 2015 election, one of the longest honeymoon periods any Canadian PM has ever received, in both the domestic and foreign media?
Philpot and Wilson-Raybould should leave the Liberal caucus. No confidence no nomination! This is not about women’s voices it is about ministers gone rogue!
When
@erinotoole
speaks in French he always refers to Canadians and Quebecers. Doesn’t he believe Quebecers are Canadians and why is he catering to the separatist vote?
Now we know how Warren Kinsella could swear an affadavit that he was not paid by

Once again I urge voters in Ontario to take this seriously. Our fragile national unity is hanging by a thread.
@JustinTrudeau
, if re-elected, will tear this country apart. He has openly pledged himself to fighting the gov of Alberta and destroying the econ interests of the west
Saddened by the passing of the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney. He loomed large in global politics, leading the world in breaking down apartheid. And a great people person. After politics he continued to reach out, even across the aisle. Condolences to Mila and the family.

Scheer libelled Trudeau and he knows it. That is why he is laying low. You cannot accuse someone of criminal activity and call it ‘fair comment’ when it is so obviously false. Julian Porter is the country’s top libel lawyer. He does not take losing cases.
You are without shame. Chretien was supported by the Canadian people in three successive elections. Instead of attacking him, you could learn something from him. He knows how to win elections which is something you obviously don’t!
Trudeau brings out AdScam Prime Minister Chrétien—who got rich doing business with Beijing—to downplay foreign interference and say everything is great.
Can they be any more out of touch?
Andrew Scheer should be ashamed for boycotting Pride Parades. He is teaching our young people that equality only applies to heterosexuals. What has he done to evolve his views since that speech. Nothing!
Hard to hear the majority
@PnPCBC
panel suggesting we should do nothing and wait for the G7 to end the free ride for Google and Meta. Canadian media companies finance Canadian stories. Internet behemoths should do the same! A 3% levy is reasonable! Canada must take the lead!
Ontario/Canada Proud are threatening a joint law suit because I tweeted they were lying when they said they had no political affiliation. Apparently they want to dissociate themselves from Ford/Scheer. Not surprised. I would too.
Your apology is much appreciated. But we have heard radio silence from the offender. Don Cherry needs to go. This is not his first racist rant but it should be his last!
Actually the Liberals are getting it done. 85 per cent of all boil water advisories already lifted. The rest on track. Trudeau is the First PM with a timeframe for doing this.
@theJagmeetSingh
needs to acknowledge that Trudeau walks the talk!
We need to take a minute and seriously ask ourselves, why is it even a question whether Indigenous communities deserve clean drinking water or not?
It's a matter of priorities, and if I was Prime Minister, I'd get it done.

What garbage from Canada Proud. Don't you know that companies export plastic for destruction in developing countries? Shiploads of trash exported. Haven't you watched the news lately? I guess you are joining your boss Andrew Scheer who came out against the plastics ban.
👉 FACT: 95% of the ocean's plastic pollution comes from just ten rivers, all of which are in Asia or Africa.
Canada isn't the problem. Don't let Justin Trudeau fool Canadians. Spread the word.
#cdnpoli
When Scheer lies about living a childhood in poverty, that is worth calling out. A $120,000 parental income is hardly poor. That is the point of the tongue-in-cheek tag.
Personally, I think it is in poor taste to laugh at someone’s modest upbringing, no matter what his current political views are.
#ScheerWasSoPoorThat
is a poor hashtag.
My message to the Ukrainian community rallying today in Hamilton and across the country:
Canada stands with the Ukrainian people fighting for their freedom against Vladimir Putin’s war of terror.
Slava Ukraini.
Wilson-Raybould says she should stay in caucus because she secretly taped a bureaucrat but not a caucus member or a Liberal. Incredible! She cost Wernick his job. A bureaucrat with 37 years exp. serving 7 government impartially has lost his job. Time to return the favour.
@Sheila_Copps
Wait, what?! was social housing not destroyed when Jean Chrétien ditched the CAP essentially breaking the social contract with Canadians and led directly to a 700% increase in ppl experiencing homelessness in YYC? I'll never vote CPC but the liberals are dead to me for this
To paraphrase a previous quote “I’m nobody’s bulldog”. But I can’t sit silent while PP says Canada is broken. Stop trashing our country. We live in the greatest country in the world and all politicians should work every day to make it better!
Four days ago in a major speech Scheer promised to show the door to any Conservative who put one religion ahead of another. Four days later he is silent on MP Cooper’s clearly racist and islamophobic comments. When is Scheer going to live up to his public promise & fire Cooper?
This policy is nothing if not political. And a violation of medical ethics. This smith/carlson strategy is designed to appeal to maga supporters like Lilley.
The policy put forward by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is caring, compassionate and reasonable.
It is being misrepresented by people attacking Smith and the policy for political reasons.

Had you stuck around, you would have been able to be part of the consultations. You resigned from the position that would have given you direct input into court-mandated indigenous consultations. Your choice.
Nothing new in recording. PCO Clerk Michael Wernick acted as a true professional. No menace. No inappropriate action. Reasonable conversation. Respect for law. What was at the basis of the Saturday night massacre reference? Her own secret tapes?
Alberta won’t be separating any time soon because
@jkenney

@AndrewScheer
’s after Scheer loses the election on October 21. Why else would an Alberta premier be travelling the country to reconnect with his former team? Kenney is gearing up to replace Scheer.
They do not mock Scheer for growing up poor. He didn't. They call him out for deceiving people about a $120,000 annual income. He pretends to be poor. If he supported the working class, why did he skip the Labour Day parade when he was in Hamilton watching the Ticats' game?
The Trudeau Liberals pretend they are the party for the working class only to then go and attack Scheer for growing up poor.
Will you be voting for the working class this election?

We now know that Warren And Lisa Kinsella were working for the Cons while Lisa appeared with Wilson-Raybould at the parliamentary committee. I have always said JWR was setting up a Scheer victory and now we have proof. She was willing to throw the Indigenous agenda under the bus!
@InvPac
@Sheila_Copps
If Scheer gets in I wonder if he would offer JWR anything. My spidey sense says no but Scheer is so spiteful he may, just to rub Trudeaus face in the dirt. He'd have to trust her tho. And that penny was spent.
#VoteLiberal
Former AG decries release of CONFIDENTIAL (her caps) discussions re. Trudeau’s refusal to support her recommendation of a homophonic, anti-abortion, anti-Charter Chief Justice. Who released CONFIDENTIAL details of her discussion with the PM 7 weeks ago?
This from a leader who has Rebel Media Hamish Marshall running his campaign. The same Rebel Media was banned from Tory conventions because of its racist positions.
Maybe you can explain why the former attorney-general has not been disbarred after illegally taping a client, against all the rules of the Law Society of Upper Canada. She is no longer legally a member of the B.C. Bar but should certainly be removed from the Ontario Bar.
Maybe you can explain to Canadians why the Canadian Bar Association has been so quiet about the PM breaking the law by pressuring the Attorney-General of Canada in violation of the Shawcross doctrine
#cdnpoli
The big lie, still being repeated, about Ford’s Greenbelt plan is that the premier either sold or gave away public land.
That’s not true.
It’s also not true this land will be cleared to build McMansions. There’s criteria on what is to be built.
On a day of world climate action,
@andrewscheer
missed the march. Then he missed the mark, making a so-called environmental announcement about how to get cars moving faster. Is Scheer simply oblivious to the world around him or is this another Hamish goof?
Listen to Scheer’s statement. He seems to think racist and homophobic comments are only bad if individuals are hurt by them. Racism and homophobia hurt everyone.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he will stand by candidates with racist, homophobic past comments as long as they apologize.

Nice language Brett. Substantively, as a client would you expect to be secretly taped by your lawyer? And why did she NEVER speak to the prime minister about her concerns. As a lawyer, it is unethical to secretly tape your client.
For fucks sakes Sheila - you are showing signs of dementia or partisan stupidity - she taped because the assholes berating her were relentless.
Now let’s get this right - you are blaming the good guy (aka JWR) for catching the bad guys doing bad things?
Get off of Twitter now.
Just in case you would like to continue to mislead I just retweeted the CBC story on how your sister organization was set up to fund Doug Ford. And your Canadian pseudo organization is doing the same for Scheer.
Not surprised Wilson-Raybould did not join a party. She is a one-person show explaining how SHE will change the system. Even with all the media attention, she has only managed to attract a single follower, Jane Philpott. I, I, I is the main message. There is no i in team.
Where is Scheer on the Cooper racist rant? Utter silence. Very scary that this leader would not eject Cooper from his team. We are judged by the company we keep.
Last week we asked the fed govt for a New Deal with Canada. The PM could cancel the carbon tax, commit to a new equalization formula (one fair to SK & AB) & develop a plan ensuring SK & AB get their products to int’t markets (pipelines)
Let’s see these words put into action
Parading a banned racist manifesto in Parliament is a firing offence. Yet Con Cooper is still in caucus and deputy justice critic, named by Andrew Scheer. Scheer’s promise to expel party racists six days ago rings hollow!
Robocalls will be investigated. But more troubling is the Manning Centre secret donation of $314,000 to the ‘Proud’ trollers. We have no idea where that money came from. The rise of
#MAGA
in our election should also be very troubling.
The horrible slurs against Catherine McKenna are part of an orchestrated campaign by political actors who do not believe in equality. Those who tweet ‘Climate Barbie’ misogyny (19 million hits yesterday on Google) are part owners of yesterday’s c__t call. Shame!
ACTUALLY it was the NDP that joined with Harper to defeat the Liberals. It was the NDP that killed a National Child Care program negotiated by Ken Dryden with all the provinces. Facts matter.
Justin Trudeau and the Liberals could have joined Jack Layton to defeat Stephen Harper’s budget – but they chose to back billions in tax cuts, and pile on even more once they got power. We'll make sure the wealthy pay their share. We choose you.
The Cons have been very active spreading half-truths and lies about the Liberals. So I fully intend to keep those trolls accountable. We have a choice to make In October, and we should make that choice based on fact not fake news.
The current projections put the Liberals 5 seats away from a majority. We have enough time to move those numbers over the top. It just proves that every riding counts, and every vote counts.
I do not hate WK. I do not support lies parading as truth which is what Warren Kinsella crafted with Jody Wilson-Raybould and her husband, who was best friend of Kinsella and contributor to the right-wing Fraser institute. JWR was helping

with her allegations.
FALSE.
