#cdnpoli 2022 The conservative opposition focus on attacking the gov't in office & obstructionism in HoC renders them, political misfits. Their antagonism neutered their ability to work collaboratively & produce results that benefit those whose interests they are elected to serve
#cdnpolitics 2022 Clearly #TeamTrudeau has had our backs during this pandemic. They have been dedicated to keeping Canadians safe and financially viable. Though I did not vote Liberal I am impressed with the diligence and competence of our minority gov't.
#cdnpoli 2022 The CPC agenda is to expand their "big tent" base & they're aiming to swing Canadians in the political center to the right. But PP's flailing attempts to convince us that he's one of us and what he has to say is relevant are a FAIL! He clearly isn't PM material.

RANT: Some people tell me I should be calling out the Liberal Government/Trudeau at times. Why? In case you've not noticed, almost all so-called Canadian press support the CPC during every election (and in between them). Why should I do their work for them? ...
Why should I assist Poilievre/CPC in their endless exaggerations, deceptions and outright lies about PM Trudeau when they're at it 24/7. They don't need my help. Why shouldn't I focus on pushing back on such things as 'JustInflation' when we all know inflation is global...
Canada's is far from the worst. Why shouldn't I focus on the lie that 'Trudeau wants to ban fertilizer' when it is such an egregious distortion of the truth of the matter? Why shouldn't I focus on all the positive things the Trudeau Government has done, and there are many? ...

I'm going to run an experiment. I'm not even going to hide it. I'm going to add the hash tags in the article to my profile, attract some bots, and see what I can do with them. This could get interesting. #MeToo

Step 1 complete. Now, let me explain how amazing #Biden is for steering the world's biggest ship with only half his faculties between naps. #Blue2022.
It begins. That didn't take long. Apparently #nigga is part of the bot swarm vocabulary, too.

There is a while lot more to the #RebelOffensive than weā€™ve seen or heard in media. Obviously this offensive was long in the planning, organizing, recruiting, financing and mobilization. The rebel core wasnā€™t evident at first as it cloaked itself in anti-mandate messages /1

The #ConvoyForFreedom2022 decided to block Marine Atlantic's entrance with their convoy. Keep in mind this does not consist of any semi's. All I could see was the same #antivaxxers who have been covid denier's for the last year in local social media groups. /1

#FluTruxClan
I decided I would drive over to see who was involved and why? @nsgov clearly released an injunction against any blockades or 'slow roll convoys'. Why would these guys just blatantly ignore that? So I put my 'trigger' mask on and headed down after a 20 min drive. /2

#Clownvoy
Some "Freedom Fighters" decided to walk up in support at the bridge. When I asked what they are supporting I was told "freedom for our children". I replied with "your children look pretty free to me". The person quickly turned and walked away. /3

We visited the UK for a month in 2016, left a wk before Brexit vote. Seismic, unexpected societal change happened so fast, the world was spinning. Same shock with Trump's win. The opp to tap into & exploit a country's vulnerable moments. #Ottawa feels the same. Who's funding it?
The similarities are chilling. The point of all 3 is destabilization, the UK/US impact now at 6 yrs. Which is why, among many other reasons, #IStandWithTrudeau. There is no negotiating here, hauling massive amounts of fuel and building sheds = disaster waiting to happen. #cdnpoli
My neophyte MP, with very little political knowlege/diplomacy skills @mferreriptbokaw must examine her allegiance, plunged into the heady, sparkle of power, a manipulative circle around her. Reflect on the damage she will do here in #Ptbo by this burst of negative opportunity.

šŸ§µDespite anguish over the electionā€™s timing and notwithstanding all its nastiness, the practical reality is that this campaign has brought the parties and issues into sharp focus and presented Canadians with real choices:
@erinotoole: flip flops on everything, trying to figure out where the most votes are
@theJagmeetSingh: hasnā€™t thought things through, blames the Prime Minister for everything but claims credit for all the good the Prime Minister has done
@JustinTrudeau: keeps calm*, carries on
with world-beating COVID record and recovery plan, best climate plan, best child-care plan, best housing plan, only student debt support plan, unequivocal reproductive rights position, heart always in the right place, etc etc

With Justin Trudeau,
thousands of people crossed the border illegally,
This system is unfair to the families who follow
the rules and waiting for their turn.

I propose a welcoming country, but respecting its borders.
All immigrants can install in Quebec,
Canada, to work, to study, or to found a family.

But legally and respectful of the laws of the country they want to integrate. Final point!

To protect our borders and end the illegal crossings,
A Conservative government will apply the Safe Third Country Agreement.
Then, in terms of the reunification of families and the integration of immigrants, a Conservative government will work with Quebec to give it more power and autonomy in immigration.

In concrete terms, we will give Quebec more powers to choose who comes to settle here.

Some dark clouds have gathered over the past couple of weeks.
@erinotoole and the Conservatives want to take šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦Canada backwards.
Backwards on climate change.
Backwards on womenā€™s rights.
Backwards on COVID recovery.
Backwards on childcare.
Backwards on reproductive rights.

Backwards on universal public health care.
Backwards on gun control.
Backwards on student debt.
Backwards on housing.

But as the late, great Leonard Cohen said,
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
Thatā€™s how the light gets in.
So letā€™s not go backwards on the past 6 years of imperfect but significant progress.
Letā€™s vote šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦Liberal.

14 Reasons Erin O'Toole Conservatives (Harper Redux top to bottom) are BAD for Canada;

1. Contempt for Canada
Found guilty found to be in contempt of Canada's parliament, first time in the history of any commonwealth government that this happened. #Elxn44

#cdnpoli #Elxn44
2. Cheated in the 2006, 2008, 2011 elections
In & Out fraud 2006, followed by campaign overspending fraud, robo-call fraud; in 2011 federal court found willful violation of the $18 million election campaign spending limit which originally brought them to power in 2006. #Elxn44
3. Turned Canada's Surplus into Debt
In 1993 Conservatives chalked up a $38 Billion deficit. By 2006 @liberal_party had turned it around into a $16 Billion surplus. Four years later Conservatives returned Canada to a record $56 Billion deficit. #Elxn44

PART 5

Hinshaw then pivots to school covid policy. No longer are masks mandatory. Theyā€™re optional. Major urban school boards have since begun to consider imposing their own mask mandate.

But itā€™s expected rural regionsā€™ schools will choose an alternative path.
Itā€™s a danger to all Albertans, since itā€™s rural communities are mostly unvaccinated. Calgary and Edmonton are vaccinated at much higher rates than rural centres.
Hinshaw made another dog whistle/coded language nod to Dominionists. The majority of Dominionists live in rural Alberta. Calgary has the most in an urban environment, Edmonton lags behind, but church planting is changing that fast.

This nod to Dominionists is significant.

Itā€™s annoying how conservatives continue to be given the benefit of the doubt concerning the veracity and integrity of their false accusations.

A couple hours is all it takes journalists. Thatā€™s it.
Christine Donoghue is credited with sending out the controversial HR memo to the public service.

Donoghueā€™s husband is Lawrence Cannon, a Harper MP, Minister of Transport & Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassador to the French Republic, 2012-2017. ledroit.com/actualites/lesā€¦
Cannonā€™s oldest son from a previous marriage was spokesperson for Trans-Canada Energy East Pipeline.

Lawrence Cannon was Harperā€™s Quebec lieutenant. Loyal to the party and the leader.

Well rewarded with an appointment to France. His wife & kids accompanied him for 2 years.

There will be naysayers that mention the job is incomplete. But thousands of FN have safe fresh water because of the Liberal government. More have been completed than remain to be done.

Thatā€™s progress. Yes. Itā€™s taken five years. But thatā€™s how bad the problem was.
Ten years of mismanagement by Conservatives. Several more by Martin and ChrƩtien Liberals and Mulroney Progressive Conservatives.

35 years of mismanagement and inferior equipment for difficult circumstances.

As if that could be solved overnight or within months.
Conservatives would have let FN and MĆ©tis communities continue to struggle.

NDP have no concept of how long 35 years of negligence takes to resolve.

Cruelty or fantasy.

Solved by practicality of hard work, targeted effort and long term maintenance.

17 Wing (Winnipeg) is home to the Canadian headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command(NORAD). The United States Air Force has been stationed in Winnipeg/17 Wing over the last several months, raising some concerns. NORAD also received a new commander in July2020.
Why this is interesting. The mission of the Canadian NORAD Region (CANR) is to provide aerospace surveillance, identification, control and warning for the defense of Canada and North America.
CANR executes a variety of tasks to defend Canadian airspace, including identifying and tracking all aircraft entering Canadian airspace, exercising operational command/control of all air defense forces in CANR and operations in support of other government departments/ agencies.

This is an ALEC sponsored policy. (American Legislative Exchange Council). ALEC is Koch Industries among other corporate interests. CPC & Fraser Institute are members though SPN (State Policy Network). These policies are US Tea Party policies.

sourcewatch.org/index.php/Statā€¦
ALEC Tea Party policies are the entire reason US states are almost powerless to address COVid appropriately at the moment.

These laws have been adopted in the US at the state level, though pressure to adopt them federally was huge during Obama administration.
Basically States who have this policy promise not to deficit budget. So any changes or emergencies that arise mean cuts to existing programs.

This is why states cannot purchase enough PPR for healthcare staff, because it means cutting other programs to pay for it.

This article needs some context. Good thing Iā€™m prepared to offer some.

WOW!

Iā€™m stunned by the hubris and ignorance of this opinion piece.

Is there a more poignant example of Eastern Canadian tunnel vision and belief in Canadian exceptionalism?
Since 1935, Alberta has lived under the rule of one party government. Social Credit were Nazi sympathizers and autocrats. A dead giveaway, their 36 year one government rule. Followed by 44 years of PC rule in Alberta.

Some is good news. Neoliberalism has been summarily debunked as inadequate. Austerity is not what is needed. Privatization and free markets are a disaster. Image
Some is not so good news. The rise of authoritarianism and government controlled capitalism that exacerbates inequality, like China and Russia, are on the rise.

This reveals Canadian conservatives and GOP Republicans are moving in this direction.

At the provincial level, here in Alberta, and in other conservative-led provinces, the provincial government is pushing through policies that are aimed at generating profit for their friends rather than for the public good... For-profit healthcare, education, no protests...

Dear Dr. Berman,

Iā€™m tired of populism, disinformation and false accusations made to legitimize your beliefs and behaviour.

Iā€™m tired of being lumped in with neoliberals because I am not adopting a purer form of socialism as a cure all for our social and economic woes.
Iā€™m tired of demagoguery that has polluted the political environment so bad that truth is barely distinguishable. But some of us retain the skills to continue to filter the abundance of chaff from the little wheat that gets lost in the piles of BS offered as news.
Iā€™m tired of leaders whose main goal is to gain power, not to help people who are coping through COVid. And certainly not to address the damage done to Canada and our social democracy over the 10 years Harper retained control of power.

Who orchestrated that by the way?
