Great poke at NDP/Libs by #ILikeMike
What does the next 3 years look like based on party promises, what Harris gave us in 1996 and the effect of inflation. The effect of not #DoubleODSPNow in 2022 for NDP means they will never hit poverty line & Liberals will never be above Harris rates. #elxn43 /1
NDP still has a chance to fix this. @AndreaHorwath please give us a rationale as to why we must live in deep poverty until end of your 2nd year? Liberals how can you justify continued deep poverty & not even beat Harrisâ deep cut rate? PCs unfathomable for anyoneâs vote /2
@OntarioGreens keep holding the line and @MikeSchreiner please make sure you hold all the other leaders accountable to why we should stay in deep poverty. #ODSPinTVDebate. Ask why all parties donât #DoubleODSPNow #elxn43 #onpoli /END
If you are disabled, this is the election to ensure you vote. For the first time #ODSP has been a top issue. Your lives, your future is being debated. There are 2.6 million of us in Ontario. You have the power to influence YOUR future. #elxn43 /1
The 4 parties with elected MPPs have laid out their plans for us. Each party has decided whether or not we should live in poverty and how much we should live on. Most candidates have not taken the #1169challenge to say how we can live on their promises. #elxn43 /2
The PCs have reluctantly promised 5% increase that wasnât in their budget. The Liberals have promised 10% this year, 10% in 2023. NDP 20% this year and 80% in 2023. Greens? 100% this year. The 2020 poverty line was $2214. Only Greens will beat that in 2022. Inflation is 6.7% /3
Couldn't quite catch that part on camera, but as these three rigs went down O'Connor Street leaving the Parliamentary Precinct, there were both scattered cheers and a gent using, well, a single finger to say goodbye. #cdnpoli #protestconvoy
I'm just trying to go grocery shopping! But another pickup leaving if you can see the flag there on the pickup. 'Freedom!' the driver chanted to a pedestrian nearby. He replied with another expression that started with the f word. #protestconvoy
Crush of pedestrians moving south on Metcalfe as wind picks up. But also some headed north toward it.
Why is interim #CPC Leader @CandiceBergenMP posing with convoy protestors and endorsing convoy participants? Why, per @MariekeWalsh , is she trying to make the protest Trudeauâs problem? A thread âŚ
First: This protest is all about removing COVID restrictions. The People's Party of Canada is all about removing health restrictions. The only "partisan" symbols I've seen at this protest have been PPC flags
Second: Except for Bernier in the Beauce, no riding had more PPC voters than Bergen's riding of Portage-Lisgar. 9,790 people in her riding voted PPC -- or 21.6% in #elxn44.

@CPC_HQ is riddled with a not-so-nice undercurrent of 'shenanigans and subterfuge' [polite description]. Actually, it could be said to be a type of rot.
The undercurrent (or if one prefers, rot) is resulting in a hemorrhage - a damaging loss of valuable people.

@nationalpost "Even his climate change plan was better than most give him credit for. The Liberals created a false political narrative that any climate agenda that didnât involve carbon taxes was necessarily deficient."

@nationalpost ... to the populations of the 4 provinces to which the CT applied, but also the 2022 federal clean fuel standard, and EV subsidies. So those were 3 policy tools, carbon-pricing, subsidies & regs, that Conservatives took off the table for addressing climate change. When asked,...

Iâm genuinely baffled at how the Conservative establishment can conclude that the only shortcoming with the partyâs climate change âplanâ in #elxn43 was that they didnât talk about it (well) enough. e.g. Hamish Marshall on @TheHerleBurly 1/ #cdnpoli
@LisaRaitt on @CANADALAND @OPPOcast canadalandshow.com/podcast/49-lis⌠). I wonder whether @Baird review will challenge the merits (or lack thereof) of the CPC approach more substantively? I hope so. The plan was poorly conceived talking more about it would have simply... 2/ #cdnpoli
@OPPOcast @Baird âŚshone a brighter light on the fact it would INCREASE carbon pollution per @MarkJaccard analysis (amongst others) policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/augu⌠#elxn43 resultsâ& plenty of opinion research (e.g. see threadreaderapp.com/thread/1192884âŚ)âsuggests a credible #climatechange plan is a pre-req 3/
A thread worth reading & reflecting on for #cdnpoli watchers - this was, in effect, how Canada behaved on #climatechange until 2015, & for similar reasons (major fossil fuel exporter). We dodged a bullet in #elxn43 with Canadians clearly voting for parties that aim to do more 1/
& rejecting the Conservatives, in part because they effectively wanted to undo climate policy progress since 2015 & replace it with, well, not much. A big Q in 2020 will be who replaces Andrew Scheer as leader of the CPC & whether he or she takes #climatechange seriously & 2/
invests significant effort in bringing their base around to support genuine climate policy solutions. Iâll be watching with great interest (might also be of interest to folks in Australia @davidfickling ). 3/3
These early #cpcldr polls of the general population do tell us a bit about what candidates might be viable and which are unlikely to compete, but I need to make a point about the âwinabilityâ measure that most are attempting to measure

ICYMI, yesterday @cleanenergycan & @Pollara released an #elxn43 exit poll that explored (amongst other things) how #climatechange factored in & #climateaction priorities for the LPC minority govât. cleanenergycanada.org/wp-content/upl⌠A quick recap: 1/ #cdnpoli
67% of Canadian voters want the new Liberal gov't to either âenact the climate change policies they campaigned onâ (37%) or to âenact stronger climate change policies than they campaigned onâto do more at a faster pace on this issueâ (30%). A clear mandate for more #ClimateAction
The desire for stronger action is popular across party lines. Even 33% of Liberal voters want stronger climate policies than what was in the partyâs platform, and majorities of Bloc (51%), Green (64%) or NDP (49%) voters share this sentiment. Stark contrast w CPC voters. 3/

The idea that a person who is polite is not racist, or that racism is somehow connected to politeness, is deeply entrenched.
We are hardwired to think that because we are âgood peopleâ, we are not racist. 2/12
