1) We need a Lie tracker on Andrew Scheer, Doug Ford, & Jason Kenney

Those I follow who are excellent sources on the carbon tax are
@trevortombe @andrew_leach, @EcofiscalCanada @kevinmilligan

The rest of the thread is mostly ammunition against lies
#cdnpoli, #onpoli #ableg
2) Andrew Scheer begins new year with warning of skyrocketing carbon taxes

"The Liberal carbon tax is just about raising revenue for government."

LIAR: 90% of it goes back to Citizens. #cdnpoli

"Consumers in the holdout provinces will receive federal payments that will exceed their carbon tax bill in a bid to cushion the blow"

1) Why are some Albertans throwing a temper tantrum without knowing facts?

Jason Kenney asks: "Yes, why the double standard?" in response to
"Why no oil tanker bans for Quebec?"

#cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli #ableg
calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
2) It's not about Alberta, Quebec, oil transport on the St Lawrence River, Beluga Whales, or Energy East.

It's about BC! Why must it always be about AB?

Why are Albertans not angry at Politicians with an election Agenda?

Imagine Supertankers navigating these islands
3) The article also doesn't capture the important details: the navigational, ecosystem,and demographic differences between the St Lawrence, the Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte islands (Haida Gwaii).

It blindly ignores details and invites Albertans to send hate to QC & BC. Why?

1) Conservative collusion with the oil industry, stacking the NEB with industry insiders, & gutting Canada’s environmental protections led to the failure of Northern Gateway (NG), TMX, the creation of #IdleNoMore, entrenched pipeline opposition, and #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli
2) to Bill C69 and:

Fisheries Act no longer protects most fish

Navigable Waters Act doesn't protect most lakes/rivers

Environmental Assessment Act replaced with a skinny law probably written on a napkin

Round Table on Environment & Economy dismantled

But Harper wasn’t done!
3) He demonized the environmental movement & aboriginal groups, and laid the groundwork for conspiracy theories: anti-oil-activists were a threat to national security, were “eco-terrorists” or “violent aboriginal extremists”, & that foreign money was blocking oilsands expansion.

THREAD: 1/x Some context on this short audio. In 1989, San Fransisco passed a quasi civil union ordnance. It was later reversed by voters in a plebiscite (yes, it failed in SAN FRANCISCO!). @jkenney was a 20 yer old student in SF at time. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC
2/x Societal norms have evolved a great deal since. For example, Liberal stalwart Dianne Feinstein, while SF mayor earlier, vetoed a similar ordnance. Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton both opposed same-sex marriage up until quite recently. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC
3/x NDP icon Tommy Douglas viewed homosexuality as a "mental illness." In 2005, 29 LIBERAL MPs voted against same-sex marriage. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

It's disgusting remarks like this that have pushed me to the point of vowing that I will NEVER call myself a feminist again. To say nothing of his revolting hypocrisy on this subject. #KokaneeGrope #cdnpoli #cpc
Ok, Let's have that "toxic masculinity" conversation, #Trudeau:
On the subject of males showing emotion, how does he suppose a ten year old boy (my son), who endured years of abuse in the foster system before being adopted, feels when he's told in school he should "apologize for the privilege he's received all his life" b/c he's white?
Where the hell was this "privilege" he supposedly had, while he was being molested in the care of GOV'T APPROVED caregivers?
Who knows, but under leftist thought crime rules, he's supposed to apologize for it, or he's "racist".

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

#CPC #Conservatives2018 Mr Hunt @foreignoffice @Jeremy_Hunt are you aware of the monumental diplomatic travesty you committed today? Donald Tusk was leader of Student Committee of Solidarity in Gdańsk from ‘81. He literally helped bring down the fall of Communism.
As context, his predecessor Stan Pyjas was murdered by the Security Bureau. Tusk risked his life to bring down communism, as did many others of that Solidarity generation. Can you pls show respect and try understand the people you’re negotiating with? Your Toryboy glibness shows
He joined Lech Walesa’s first post communist government, and later became a two term serving elected Prime Minister. He’s been President of the European Council. If the EU was in any way like the Soviet Union, Donald Tusk would be in a better position to say so.

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.
That suggests to me that #Harper may have passed himself off as the prime minister when he set up those meetings. Why else would they ask the #PMO if Trudeau was bringing his wife?
