On Pierre Poilievre's campaign website, he lists 4 priorities.
#2
is 'RECLAIM CANADIAN VALUES'. Quote: "We need to get back to the basics. It’s time to stand up for fundamental Canadian values and protect Canadians’ freedom of speech and belief."
The question becomes...
The New York Times is advising Americans who want the truth about the CoronaVirus to listen to Merkel, Trudeau and Macron. Because their own President is spouting propaganda. How sad is that?
Remember when PM Trudeau went to Tofino for a short break? Front page press for 7 straight days.
Remember when Poilievre lied by saying the
#mgtow
misogynist hateful tag had been removed from his 50 or so videos but they're still there? Story died after one day.
PRESS DO YOUR JOB
@RealCandaceO
Justin Trudeau leads a Minority Gov which means he can do nothing without support from at least one other Party, and therefore calling him a dictator is beyond absurd.
PM Justin Trudeau first wore a mask the day after Health Canada said we should wear them, May 20. Johnson,UK and Trump, USA first wore a mask yesterday. Leadership Matters and Canada has it.
#IStandWithTrudeau
If Canada is 'broken' as Pierre Poilievre insists, then one needs to wonder how did that happen. And then look at the individual provinces and realize most of them are run by Conservatives.
Canada is not broken but provincial governments are.
Here's the thing: The PM has consistently condemned the blockades, strongly and repeatedly since late Jan.
The CPC and PPC have not. They welcomed them, praised them, and therefore enabled them.
Where might we be now if all parties had stood with the PM just this once?
I don't know which is harder to watch. Yellowknife evacuating, Kelowna on fire, counting the dead in Lahaina... or Poilievre ignoring it all as he rails against the price on carbon - designed to mitigate climate change. 😱
The poppy Tamara Lich is wearing as she accuses 'antifa' is a symbol honoring the memory of all those Canadians who fought, and especially all who died fighting fascism - They were ANTIFA. They died to stop Fascism. They didn't die to save Ms Lich from being inconvenienced.
Tamara Lich will now remain in jail until at least Tuesday at 9AM when the Judge who just heard her bail request will announce her decision.
Testimony from both Lich's reached a rather high level of unbelievability.
No wonder Candice Bergen is so upset about the EA. It made it possible to arrest her dinner date, Chris Barber, and no doubt he's just the first of many of her 'very good people' friends.
When Doug Ford and the PM got together, Premier Ford welcomed him to Ontario. Where Ottawa is. Where the PM lives. Where his children go to school. Where the base of our Federal Government is.🫤
Supporters of the Convoy gang are very upset today with Justin Trudeau's testimony. 'How dare the PM give such thoughtful, methodical, clear, in-depth reasonings? He's just trying to make us look bad.'
😏
Former PM Harper popped up yesterday. Amongst other nonsense he said he's 'glad he's not in power now' because of how challenging the pandemic is.
I can assure him that much of Canada is also glad he is not in power now.
PM Justin Trudeau and family will vacation for 1 week in Jamaica. The PM will cover the total costs, including the cost of the official PM plane he is Required to fly on.
Pierre Poilievre will continue jetting about Canada while billing Tax Payers for his every expense.
Sometimes in replies to Min. Anita Anand, people tell her to 'go back where you came from' - and I'm sure she'd love to sometimes because she was born in the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. But right now she's very busy being our Defense Minister. ❤️
@AnitaAnandMP
The Canadians who were so upset about losing use of plastic straws are the same Canadians who will make it impossible for Canada to ever achieve our emissions targets. Because if you can't give up plastic straws, you'll never even attempt the big stuff. It's not Trudeau, it's you
Last night, the Leader of the European Union, with whom Canada is closely connected through trade agreements and support for Ukraine, spoke to Canada's Parliament. The man who claims to be running for PM DIDN'T BOTHER TO SHOW UP. Poilievre is no leader.
Congratulations to The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada upon his third consecutive victory. Justin Trudeau has now won every election he has run in since his first in 2008. He will be the longest serving Leader in the G7 as of Sept 26.
Pierre Poilievre booed by delegates at the Assembly of First Nations. One Chief stood and said 'never show us a video like that again'. They recognized he was just using them...
To Jagmeet Singh: PM Trudeau had weekly conference calls with all premiers and territory leaders. He offered 3 separate times to enact Fed Emergency Act. All said no. They would enact their own. And here we are.
Today while CPC MPs continue to trash our Canadian Government, Ukraine's president Zelenskyy (tweet) and former president Poroshenko (P&P interview) made it a point to thank and praise our PM and team for their leadership with sanctions, and their support for Ukraine.
#CPCFail
I'm a guy approaching age 75. My bio pretty much says where I stand: "Justin Trudeau did not make me a Liberal.
Stephen Harper did."
#ForwardForEveryone
Have to admit the news about how closely involved Brad Wall is/was with the convoy has really been kind of depressing. When you fit the pieces together, Bergen's email, Poilievre's white supremacist slogans, so much other CPC stuff, it really becomes obvious where the danger lies
Pierre Poilievre and Candice Bergen were the most public and constant CPC MPs speaking and appearing in support of the Convoy camped out in Ottawa.
Bergen just announced she won't run again.
One down, one to go.
We can do this, Canada!
One thing about the so called Freedom Rally I'm truly thankful for - it has put me in touch with many more Canadians on Twitter, followed and following now, who truly care and support Liberal/progressive values.
So yesterday Canadian Federal Politicians had the opportunity to make memorial speeches about the late Queen.
Only Poilievre chose to turn it into a speech about 'freedom' and use it for his own political purposes.
This is not a leader, this is a divider. Canada already is Free.
Dear Canadian Press: The fact the man who assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband 'grew up in Canada' is not the headline you think it is. The fact he's been in USA past 20 years and totally into the MAGA cult is far more relevant. Be Better.
The man on the left (no pun intended) Will attend the Press Gallery Dinner tonight. The man on the extreme ri... er, right will not. Evidently he's afraid he might have to actually answer a question instead of just asking them.
Kudos to reporter David Cochrane who just said in answer to a question, "No we don't know where the PM and his Family are and if we did WE SHOULD NOT SAY".
I very much hope all reporters would feel the same way.
Same goes for our Gov General and her husband.
I am 74 years old, 2 sons, 4 grandsons. I push back at the endless Poilievre lies such as 'fertilizer bans/mandates', 'Trudeau buys foreign oil', etc. That's why Poilievre thinks I'm 'a radical woke leftie'. When I really just hate his rage farming, hate mongering divisiveness.
The Ottawa Convoy: totally blocked side streets Illegal. Endless horn honking Illegal. Open fires Illegal. Fuel everywhere Illegal. Harassment of mask wearers Illegal. Inhibiting citizens from their daily routines Illegal. Structures on roads Illegal. All these negate 'Peaceful'
Trudeau-Biden phone call:
So Justin, who is this little Kenney nut?
He was one of Harper's guys, Joe.
Ah, that explains it. And Doug somebody?
Doug Ford - he's Ontario's punishment for rejecting a highly competent woman premier.
So far, Jean Charest is basing his entire campaign on 'beating Trudeau'. Yet he will keep Trudeau's childcare plan (Poilievre won't) and he'll keep Trudeau's plan to reach 2% defense spending and he'll no doubt keep a form of carbon tax... here's an idea - let's just keep Trudeau
Why do some hate 'Trudeau' so extremely? My guesses, and no it isn't mostly vaccine issues:
He's a feminist, supports women.
He supports LGBTQ+
He knelt at a BLM rally
He wants Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation to happen
He sometimes cries when giving historic apologies...
On returning into Twitter and seeing all the
#IAMCANADIAN
hashtags and statements, I feel downright emotional. Standing with you all, because yes -
#IAMCANADIAN
Today CPC MPs, the very same ones who greeted the illegal protestors with handshakes, smiles, donuts, and words of support, thus enabling them to continue, will Vote in support of them and Against the laws of Canada.
A vote for Conservatives is a vote for anarchy.
PM Justin Trudeau: Present me with a plan of how you'll account for extra healthcare funding and ensure every penny goes to healthcare.
Premiers: Just give us our fecking money and we'll do what we want with it.
Interesting Facts about today's Nfld/Labrador by-election:
Seat had been Conservative held since 2003
Polling had shown Conservatives with strong lead.
Liberal Fred Dalton WON easily with 45.9% of vote.
This is also Federal Liberal Premier Furey's riding.
Poiliever is NOT amused.
Today I am following Jagmeet Singh on Twitter. For the first time. With the great hope that together, the NDP and the Fed Gov can again show Canadians that, working together, great things can be achieved.
While Pierre Poilievre is puffing out his chest and thumping about being PM, our real PM is about to board a plane to fly to Europe to continue the Canadian Government's support for those fighting against the genocidal leader of Russia.
Erin O'Toole also more than once today referred to the American expression 'free speech' which is not what we have in Canada. We have Freedom of Expression which comes with limitations.
The Prime Minister of Canada is not going to bargain with people who's stated goal is to overthrow our democratically elected Government.
If only the same could be said for CPC and PPC who welcomed them into Ottawa with open arms.
Their back pedaling now will never undo that.
Wow. Pierre Poilievre went to the most Conservative province in Canada, Saskatchewan, and pulled in a crowd of "1000 people", and now he thinks he's PM.
@nowthisnews
PM Marin, our PM Trudeau has been attacked for his fun socks, his hair, too long, too short, his beard, then shaving his beard. He ignores it all and carries on. You be you and let the voters decide, they're the ones that made you PM.
Clarification: Some people seem to think Justin Trudeau made me political, made me a Liberal.
He did not.
Stephen Harper made me political.
Stephen Harper made me a Liberal.
Stephen Harper took time from his duties as Chairman of IDU, travelling the world supporting the elections of extreme right wing governments, to endorse an extreme right wing candidate right here at home.
If you're surprised, you're not paying attention.
Why did it take an American publication to put the China Premier/PM Trudeau incident into proper context? Read it and ask yourself why Canadian press and CPC were so eager to refer to it as a 'scolding of our PM:
@JJ_McCullough
Allow me to explain in very simple terms: Canada is a member of the Commonwealth, arguably the most important member, and one of the members that recognizes the Queen/King as our Monarch.
The United States is just another country outside the Commonwealth.
Doug Ford is blaming the Federal Gov/PM Trudeau for his own bad decisions and failure. Every province declined Trudeau's multiple offers of Emergency Act - wanted to enact their own and handle decisions themselves. They got it. They own it. Doug Ford owns this disaster.
Seeing some CPC now trying to sound offended by some of the protestors' actions. The Rally trucks were in the news for days as they drove to Ottawa with their flags, their vicious signs, their threats. CPC and PPC encouraged and promoted them. You don't get to walk back now.
There are over 50 documented instances of CPC MPs led by Bergen and Poilievre, supporting, welcoming, enabling, encouraging the Convoy Gang that ultimately required the now JUSTIFIED use of the
#EmergenciesAct
. They played with fire for purely partisan gain. But they've lost.
Poilievre is planning to cancel the national Childcare plan if elected as PM someday. And that'll cost you parents a heck of a lot more than the none existent 'tax on trucks' they're currently lying about.
#TrudeauWasRight
And the CPC were and remain very, very wrong. Their support and welcome when the Convoy arrived and settled in on the streets can never be forgotten.
How is it that the Conservative Premier of Canada's largest province has been allowed to go through 4 years without ever once having to do a sit-down, tough questions interview? What is Doug Ford so afraid of??
The reply when the then Solicitor General of Ontario, Sylvia Jones, was asked by Min Mendicino to attend a meeting of 3 levels of Government re Convoy:
"I don't take edicts from you. You're not my f***ing boss!"
This is the level of quality Doug Ford looks for in his ministers.
All the efforts being expended by the Canadian right/CPC/Poilievre to try to get Justin Trudeau to resign BEFORE the next election reveal two things:
#1
they're deathly afraid of having to run against Trudeau and
#2
they obviously do not believe they can beat him.
They're right.
The Confederate flags, the Swastikas, the Jewish stars may no longer be visible in Ottawa but - they're not gone, just tucked away for now, on orders of the organizers. Organizers, like CPC, don't want Canadians to realize who they really are and what they're really after.
I am furious at the intentional deception: several news sources have covered the story of how a Government signed off, absolving all Catholic debt to Indigenous. They use a big photo of Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Marc Miller as if he was the one who did it. He...
Proud to see our Deputy Pm Freeland and Foreign Affairs Min Joly with the PM in Kyiv today. But there's another woman who also deserves to be acknowledged - Sophie Grégoire Trudeau -
#HappyMothersDaySophieTrudeau
On Friday Doug Ford cried cause he was 'so sorry'. On Saturday Ontario saw less than 100,000 vaccinated. On Sunday, even less than Saturday. On Monday Ford Gov voted against Paid Sick Leave again.
Doug Ford has never been in this for you.
This brief moment between PM Trudeau and President Zelenskyy (video screen capture) - where these two friends, with so much to worry about, actually had a moment of laughter. It has stayed with me so thought I'd find and tweet it...
I will point out that President Zelensky has described our PM as "one of the politicians that inspired him to get into politics", and a few days ago referred to him as "my friend Justin Trudeau. We know Canada is with us, we feel it every day". But of course he needs still more.
While a well trained police force from across Canada managed, with restraint and persistence to almost entirely clear the downtown illegal occupation, a reminder that CPC MP's spent the day condemning the action as unnecessary. I doubt anyone in Ottawa agrees with them. Nor do I.
Raging fires, thousands evacuated, Emergency declared in province of BC. Poilievre is rushing to BC to be there Monday... to hold a rally... to ax 'the Trudeau carbon tax'... which BC doesn't even pay.
Pierre Poilievre is not here for Canada, he's here for himself.
To sum up the Day: So-called 'Family Picnic in the Park' and speech from 'walking Vet' cancelled after violence night before.
Pierre Poilievre speech also cancelled.😏
Lots of Canadians had a great day at LeBreton Flats with the PM, Gov Gen, and plenty of entertainment.
Where are all the big bold 'leaders/supporters' of the Convoy? Where is Bernier? Hillier, Cooper, Bergen, Poilievre, Gladu, the list is long. Not a one their standing in support of their 'very good people' now that the arrests are happening?
😏
Watched Jagmeet Singh at Layton Memorial taking credit for everything Canadians received during Covid.
One Man took the political risk of a huge deficit. One man made the decision to spend to save Canadians. One man agreed to buy vaccines for all.
That man is PM Justin Trudeau.
Finally - a way to stop Pierre Poilievre from talking: ask him his position on a woman's right to choose and if he would allow anti-abortion bills if he were ever PM of Canada.
There are rumors a Truck Convoy will be in Toronto by weekend if not before. We call on all levels of police to protect ahead of time HOSPITAL ROW/UNIVERSITY AVE and prevent it from disruption PLEASE.
Fascinating to compare the Twitter feeds of Erin O'Toole (95K followers by the way) and PM Justin Trudeau (5.1 mil). Trudeau's never mentions Erin, just total focus on the Government's work. Erin's rarely has a tweet that isn't about Trudeau.
In the past few days The Star has an article making it clear the airport problems are not caused by Justin Trudeau, and the Globe and Mail wrote an editorial pointing out that our Fed Gov has one of the best pandemic records in the world.
I may need to lie down now.
BREAKING: Poilievre remains silent this morning as CPC fail to make by-election gains, despite all his best efforts, using every dirty trick in the book. Even NP's fake story about a 'Trudeau investigation' on the very day of the elections didn't gain him any new seats.
Have I got this right? Leader of the Official Opposition - Jeff, aka Pierre, who wears makeup, lipstick, and a man girdle actually said in our House of Commons that PM Trudeau was a 'fake and a phony'?
Pierre, the man with 20 years at the public teat and one bill to show for it.
Erin O'Toole, Pierre Poilievre and Melissa Lantsman have all been totally silent on Twitter today.
Furiously figuring out how to get themselves out of the hole they dug themselves into I suspect. They have repeatedly showed us who and what they really are.
#NeverVote
Con
Canada has surpassed 300 Covid 19 deaths today. The USA has surpassed 10,000 deaths today.
#TeamTrudeau
receives no credit for this but they deserve plenty. Despite the huge variance in our pops, clearly Canada is and has done a far, far better job to date.
Canada's TripleAAA Rating confirmed again. Please read this explanation and remember it every time Poilievre/Bergen scream that 'the sky is falling'. Canada remains on solid ground!
During Vaccine delivery delays, Minister Anand and PM Trudeau repeatedly told Canadians we would receive all doses contracted for Q1. They told the truth repeatedly. They are the only ones who did. Opposition and Press created panic, sowed doubt, caused confusion and lied.
Erin O'Toole: 'Canada's at the back of the line. Gov hasn't shipped rapid testing. Gov put all vaccine orders into one basket.'
These are not mistakes. These are not 'incorrect'. These are intentional outright lies from the Leader of the CPC. His poll numbers are making him sweat
Why is Chinese Premier really mad at Canada's PM Trudeau? Trudeau's 12 day trip itinerary has some answers. Aside from the G20 meeting, every meeting, every country he's visiting has had to do with increasing Asia-Pacific Trade and reducing reliance on trade with China....
@AnaPoilievre
In this tweet and her article, the wife of the man who claims to be 'running to be PM' joins in the QAnon conspiracies rampant on social media that our PM himself is a pedophile. Calling any and everyone they don't like a 'pedo' is their thing. This is deeply disappointing.
Yesterday I spent the day Supporting Liberal Candidates and fighting against all the misinformation from Opposition/O'Toole/Singh
This morning I came on to find more new followers than I've ever had at one go.
Moral of story:Liberals are alive and well and fighting for our future
@tMayor_McCheese
I recommend this tweet to every woman still feeling a bit unsure about which party has her back. Our PM is unequivocal when it comes to women's rights and he doesn't hesitate to say so.
TODAY: PM Justin Trudeau continues his meetings with leaders of Democracies around the world.
Also TODAY: Wannabe PM Pierre Poilievre walks with Convoy folks for a few blocks for a photo op.
