Countdown - the many reasons why Poilievre is not fit to be Prime Minister
1. Poilievre is attacking and bullying the Speaker of the House - Canada
1. Poilievre is attacking and bullying the Speaker of the House - Canada
2. Poilievre and his members continue to attack the PM - he uses bullying tactics on a daily basis
3. Poilievre under Stephen Harper raised the retirement age to 67 and PMJT reversed it, it was scheduled to start this month - he lies when he states he wants to help Canadians
@PierrePoilievre's dishonest and shameful 'blame it all on Trudeau' campaign for things the PM does not control rages on. In fact, the PM does not control #foodpricing, #fueloilpricing, #rentpricing, #mortgagepaymentpricing or #interestrates in Canada.
IMO @PierrePoilievre 's dishonourable rhetoric on rising food, gas, oil prices, interest rates & rents is evidence of intent to deceive.
Why doesn't the media challenge him to provide alternative proposals instead of publishing his attacks on Trudeau for things he can't control?

@PierrePoilievre knows that #groceryprices result from factors that include yields, weather, wildfires, drought, global supply chain problems and grocery chain price gouging, etc. Implying otherwise is #misinformation.

does NOT set #fueloilprices and @PierrePoilievre
knows that. We live in a democracy, not a totalitarian state. The price of oil is set in the global marketplace so the supply/demand balance determines the price of O&G products around the world.

The Canadian government has constitutional authority to regulate gasoline prices only in an emergency. However, provinces and territories can regulate prices, and Quebec and the Atlantic provinces do so.

Dear ON,
Stop waiting for those who are behaving the way they are with #IStandWithCUPE 😷 to tell you to put #Masks back on to prevent airborne spread of airborne viruses.

1/ Statement from PIPSC President Jennifer Carr on Doug Ford's union busting, Charter-breaching tactics (a thread):
What Doug Ford is doing is an unprecedented attack on labour rights in Ontario.

2/ Make no mistake – if Doug Ford succeeds in invoking the #notwithstandingclause to avoid bargaining with @CUPEOntario, he'll do that every time he finds anyone’s constitutional rights to be inconvenient to his agenda.

3/ It will be used by every right-wing provincial and federal gov't to ignore their obligations to bargain fairly. These actions will erode our hard-won rights – not just the right to collective bargaining, but every right enshrined in the Charter.

THREAD: Why are unions and other progressives so upset about @fordnation invoking the #notwithstandingclause to shut down 3rd-party advertising?
Well, first because this law wasn’t intended for this purpose. But that’s not the prime reason.
Unions are a collective voice for working people. Are they perfect? No. Far from it. But in general they provide a collective counterpoint to the power of big business.
The Supreme Court of Canada has said that the Charter should be interpreted according to international human rights treaties to which we are a party. Does this presumption narrow the scope of s 33, the #notwithstandingclause? Thread. [1/14]
Art 4(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966 permits states to derogate from rights protected by it, but only “In time of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation and the existence of which is officially proclaimed”. [2/14]
The derogation can only be “to the extent strictly required by the exigencies of the situation”, not inconsistent with the state’s other international legal obligations and with no discrimination based on race, colour, sex, language, religion or social origin. [3/14]
What you need to know about s.33 - the Notwithstanding Clause. A thread -
Municipalities are creatures of the province. This move was well within Premier Ford's legal authority to basically Thanos-snap half of the TO wards out of existence. #onpoli

And Doug Ford's move to use the Notwithstanding Clause in response to the judge's decision (ruling it unconstitutional) this morning, is also within his legal right as Premier of Ontario.
However, the Notwithstanding Clause is like using a shake weight on your morning commute using public transportation. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
