First calls of the night:

LPC HOLD St. John's South-Mount Pearl and Avalon, both in Newfoundland. #Elxn44 rrhelections.com/index.php/2021…
Labrador: Liberal HOLD. #exln44

Has usually been an LPC seat but was potentially competitive.

A généralement, elle a été une circonscription LPC, mais c'était potentiellement compétitive.
Beauséjour: Lib HOLD
Tobique-Mactaquac: CPC HOLD
Cardigan: Lib HOLD
Acadie-Bathurst: Lib HOLD
West Nova: CPC HOLD

No suprises. West Nova was close in 2019. #Elxn44
Pas de surprises. Nouvelle-Ouest était compétitive en 2019.

Beware of ops targeting the left, posing as progressive causes. This Twitter account is an anti-Trudeau front.
A fake account troll showed up in a post of mine. It followed 0 accounts, w/ only 2 followers. An account I’d already blocked & this “Equal Power” one. #elxn2021 #elxn44
Why would a Twitter account supposedly about proportional representation know of & follow an anonymous account with 0 followers?

It’s important to remember that malign influence operations target the left just as much as the right, using issues important to the left. #elxn44
*Following zero accounts, I meant.

1. I’ll say this again because it’s important. The Trudeau gov’t used deficit spending to steer 🇨🇦 through the worst global health & financial crisis in a century. It worked. The Harper/OToole #CPC couldn’t even manage a recession. #cdnecon #exln44 #NeverVoteConservative
2. 🇨🇦 was largely spared the worst of 2009 financial crisis due to previous Liberal gov’t banking regulations THAT #CPC LOBBIED AGAINST while in opposition. Had they succeeded, 🇨🇦 would’ve been hit much harder. Even so, Harper/OToole CPC couldn’t even manage the recession #Elxn44
3. The #CPC turned a $13B Liberal surplus into a $1.1B deficit BEFORE the recession. Then mismanagement the economy for nearly a decade after. Increasing poverty, starving 🇨🇦 of needed infrastructure investments & creating the worst trade deficits in Canadian history. #Elxn44

Just a reminder of the facts, in the midst of the fog of war being created by #Conservative owned #cdnmedia.

Justin Trudeau’s gov’t not only skillfully managed the pandemic in spite of hostile premiers refusal to do their part in keeping people safe & afloat.…#exln44 #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
…but the Trudeau gov’t also managed to maintain a AAA rating (Germany was the only other G7 country to do so), gain the highest marks of ANY advanced economy from the IMF, make 🇨🇦 #1 in vaccinations & surpass 🇺🇸 in economic growth for the 1st time in history. #elxn44 #cdnpoli ImageImageImageImage
Instead we should reward the #CPC’s domestic malign influence operations, disinformation campaigns, #DarkMoney funded front groups micro-targeting social media users & return 🇨🇦 to Harpers of darkness? #NeverVoteConservative #elxn44 #cdnpoli https://t.co/jEBwN8QpSb

Dear #cdnpoli: there are active #InfoOps interfering in #Elxn44. These CIB hashtags (coordinated inauthentic behaviour), represent an increase in sophistication of malign influence operations. For the past year these hashtags would launch to trend usually Friday nights. Now daily
The number of tweets to trend these inauthentic hashtags are consistently around the 3,000 mark. 3,000 tweets launched from coordinated troll networks domestically across 🇨🇦 + foreign operations, can evade @TwitterSupport’s efforts to curb.
#cdnpoli #exln44 #InfoOps
Part of what’s new(er) about these CIBs, is they artificially amplify actual users in addition to troll network accounts. This is a different tactic than relying solely on coordinated activity of tweets from fake manned troll farm accounts. These tactics evolve each cycle #Elxn44

A little math re: childcare for #exln44

For my 2.5 year old, we pay $318/week or $16,854/year

Under the proposed Liberal plan: cost = $2,600/year

The CPC are proposing a tax credit of up to 75% for low income families which means a credit of $12,402

That’s a huge difference
I’d rather see costs lowered upfront to the tune of 85% less (!!) under the Liberals than ask low-income families to wait until tax season to see any benefit. They will still have to pay upfront costs

Not to mention, the Liberals plan, from what I’ve read, is universal
As noted by some lovely tweeps,

- what’s the limit on said tax credit?
- what’s the income limit?
- does this mean no plan for middle-income families?
- how does this help people get back into the workforce if they can’t wait until April to see reimbursement?

It’s 1/2 a plan
