Things Conservatives get away with.

1. A premier of a province where wildfires are raging runs off to another province to campaign for his federal buddies.

2. That same premier proclaims that he is empowering workers by slashing their wages and overtime pay. /1

3. Is this the same kind of empowering process engaged by Doug Ford? You know where firing 3,000 teachers is supposed to make kids more resilient.

4. Saying that a job is the best medicine to combat poverty, while slashing minimum wages.

5. Saying they support a free press, while undermining real journalism w/ fake news + their own conservative-created "news" outlet.

6. Raging against taxes, while enjoying their comfy lifestyles.

7. Comparing deficits to the devil, until months before an election. /3

8. Saying they will not re-open the abortion debate, while keeping the anti-abortion lobby in the tent w/ promises of private members' bills, reminding them of the multitude of ways reproductive choice can be weakened.

9. Saying they support workers, just not their unions /4

10. Waiting until after the federal election to introduce right-to-work laws in Alberta and likely Ontario, in the hopes of giving their friend Scheer the leg up.

11. Saying they are for the people (cough) when their policies leave so many people behind.

12. No plan to deal with climate change. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

13. Same for inequality. Nothing, Nada. Zip.
