Andrew Scheer's bio on his website still says he worked as an insurance broker before entering politics.

@PierrePoilievre So now David Johnston is a "former Governor General"? And here I thought he was a Liberal stooge and a former neighbour and ski buddy of Justin Trudeau's.

@AndrewScheer "Trudeau has never had to worry about balancing a family budget," says the guy living in the 34-room taxpayer-supplied Rockcliffe mansion with cook and chauffeur, and earning a $255,000 annual salary. Give us a break. #Cdnpoli

@AndrewScheer And "government sucks and is terrible at everything" is sort of an odd stance from the guy who not so long ago sought the top government job in the country.

My friends @ChantalHbert & @bruceanderson are panelists w/ the @petermansbridge podcast β€œThe Bridge” - they discussed Pierre Poillievre’s Conservative β€˜Liberator’ cards - is the Conservative Party becoming a cult of personality? I fear it is #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics

@PierrePoilievre - Justin Trudeau has been Prime Minister for < 7 years, 4 months, not 8 years. - Licensing of medical professionals is governed by provincial licensing bodies, not by the federal government.

@PierrePoilievre "...there was a consensus that governments should balance the budget unless there was a recession..." That's some nice revisionist history. Stephen Harper's gov't inherited a $13.8 billion surplus from the previous Liberal gov't and turned it into a $55.6B deficit in 4 years.

@PremierScottMoe @jkenney "destructive NDP government" Under Rachel Notley's NDP, Alberta led Canada in economic growth in 2017. I also don't recall her government blowing 1.3$ billion on a bad pipeline investment.

@PierrePoilievre The only taxes going up is the luxury tax on boats, private planes, and luxury cars. The carbon price is not a tax, and rebates more to lower-income households than they spend. CPP and EI premiums are not taxes. Higher taxes actually fight inflation, lowering them makes it worse.

@IanDMorrison @JustinTrudeau The source for the claim appears to be this interview PMJT gave in Sept. 2021 on a Quebec talk show. He refers to a subset of anti-vaxxers as "souvent misogynes, souvent racistes aussi." It is the host Julie Snyder who interjects, "Ils sont extremistes":

@AndrewScheer The "sky high taxes" claim is BS. The following article predates the latest round of income tax cuts adopted in the current parliament. Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 and AAA ratings from credit ratings agencies. Those are facts.

@PierrePoilievre The House of Commons has long dictated that members of Parliament must use each other's titles during debate, but never their first names β€” so anything that deliberately includes "Justin," the prime minister's first name, is out."
