#ThrowbackThursday, a reminder of Stephen Harper - the man who handpicked #NevrePoilievre, mentored him & helped install him as #cpcldr (using dirty tricks). A man who feels right at home with authoritarians. #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou #cdnpoli 
#ThrowbackThursday, remember all the ways in which the #CPC sold out 🇨🇦. Remember all the malicious ways they used (abused) power. #NeverVoteConservative #NevrePoilievre #cdnpoli
#ThrowbackThursday, Harper & #CPC were, and are, very cosy with neo-fascists. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli #NevrePoilievre
Toxic wildfire smoke every day all summer long in Calgary is only the tip of the iceberg.
BC is on fire. Greece is on fire.
California is on fire.
And capitalists complain about changing the economy because they like making money from fossil fuels?

Canada dragged its feet for years on doing anything about the #ClimateCrisis. The Conservative government obstructed actio by sabotaging research, muzzling scientists, and destroying records.

Alberta finally gets a government that recognizes the economic costs of climate change & takes its first baby steps towards action.
The ruling business lobby groups throw a fit & throw all they can into supporting a fascist from Ottawa to rescue them.

Since #Harper is trending, let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that 🇨🇦 is still paying a heavy price for the decade of darkness from his #CPC.
#Conservatives self-servingly claim he’s long gone from office & it’s ridiculous to invoke him. Wrong. #cdnpoli

There are too many acts of corruption, malice, subterfuge, fraud & blind ideology to possibly list in a Twitter thread. So I’ll just bring up some highlights.
1st. Harper’s secret #FIPA with China, where he sold 🇨🇦 out & tied the hands of all future Cdn governments for 31 years.

1. @ErinOToole is fixated on #China as a bad global actor.
That's fine.
However, on this issue, he keeps stupidly, demanding #PMTrudeau extend his neck for his (and Canada's) decapitation.

2. First, one never confronts #China, alone, walking in chin up/ass out.
You get knocked on your ass.

3. Exhibit A: #Harper tried that already in '06 (he didn't show for the Beijing '08 ##Olympics Opening Ceremony)
A few years later, when that (predictably) didn't work, he went to #China tail between legs and, as thanks for his visit, China did this:

"Conservatives just won't take yes for an answer ... " - #Trudeau.
Exactly. As I keep saying: Nothing pisses Conservatives off more than #Canada's success under the #Liberals.
#Scheer is throwing quite the hissy-fit here today during #QP. Never seen his dimples so red. #cdnpoli

Wow. #WeakAndy, red in the face and sweating sure is making good use of that there Parliamentary Privilege today. Everything he's said so far is halve-truths and bullshit. I think I saw steam shooting out his dimples.

Ahh, poor little @CandiceBergenMP is still triggered over #Trudeau's xmas trip in 2016. HE TOOK A HELICOPTER RIDE THAT DIDN'T COST CANADIAN TAX PAYERS! Oh no! #LOL #cdnpoli #QP
Why has @AndrewScheer nor any other #CPC member mentioned the Saudi dustup? Could it be that all these trips to Washington that they’ve been making lately was the beginning of the instigation of a plan to hang Canada out to dry. I’ll explain my thoughts in a thread. #cdnpoli
Recall that Harper went to Washington on July 2 and recall also that the prime minister‘s office was surprised when the news was leaked. PM’s office found out because the White House called the #PMO to ask if he was bringing his wife.
(THREAD) There are ties between former PM @stephenharper and @HouseGOP mega-donor #SheldonAdelson. 1/9

#SheldonAdelson was a driving force behind Donald Trump’s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and the decision to withdraw from the #IranNuclearDeal. @kenvogel says Adelson is very close to Trump2/9

The billionaire Casino magnate is a top donor to the Republicans. He pledged an additional $30 million to the GOP last week, just as the embassy was being moved and Trump bailed on the Iran Nuclear deal. 3/9
