It IS a lie .... I know EACH MP has a designated email account. special "personal access only" this is the account designated in the screen captures IF PP insists on NOT reading that account he CLEARLY is abdicating, ignoring or abandoning if you like, his responsibilities

@journo_dale Let's not forget that the Harper Gov't SOLD the properties of significance owned by the Gov't of CDA (many of which had been held for the greater part of a century) to manufacture that phony "Budget surplus" Forcing us to PAY RENT for suitable facilities AND FIFE KNOWS THAT

@robertlavigne @MichaelChongMP Harper sold off Canadian Residences around the world - basically a fire sale. Plus the residence in London. In most cases properties had been owned by the GOC for eons - leaving open the question of how you could ever find replacements. Pure theatre

@stephcpreston It's also a splendid case study/ teaching example for management study of "institutional / structural racism ..We need to highlight as many of these as possible interdisciplinarily .. For some reason it is easier to use an example from another discipline and then search one's own

Pierre Poilievre is a junior league eugenicist & Ayn Rand acolyte .. he's never had an original thought but is utterly capable of chaining simplistic responses to complex problems, then rolling them in glitter so the dullest minds think they're "brilliant" and he's "tough"
