Has Trudeau made mistakes? Sure he has. Every leader does. I give him credit for admitted as much. Most are incapable of such honesty and self-awareness. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer
Of course, Leo would prefer that we elect #WeakAndy - Harper's puppet. But let us remember the govt of which Andy was part ... #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

"given his longevity in power, & in regards 2 fundamental things people grade a govt on – such as the economy, democratic practices, the environment, corruption, foreign policy, culture, civil liberties – Harper’s record might very well place him as the worst PM in Cdn history."
EVERYONE should read the above article. It's an important reminder.
And then read this one. #cdnpoli

“Mulroney was a crook and corrupt [but] I don’t think Harper is corrupt financially. I think he’s corrupt in so many other ways… I don’t think he’s interested in money. I think he’s much more interested in power and secrecy.” #cdnpoli
I also recommend reading this - and remember that Scheer learned his trade at Harper's knee. #cdnpoli

The above should cure anyone of the illusion (or delusion) that Conservatives are "more ethical" or "less corrupt" than Liberals. #cdnpoli
As for how Conservatives tend to govern, I'll just reshare a thread I posted a few days ago about Ford. #cdnpoli

As for why I'm willing to give Trudeau a 2nd term, I'll just start here - ironically also a response to Leo. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

The process had its hurdles, but Trudeau at least got us this inquiry. It will be up to us all to keep govt's feet to the fire on future actions. #cdnpoli

Compare that to Harper's position. Do we really want to go back to THIS?
Whereas Harper's Conservatives fought against them for years, Trudeau's Liberals brought us supervised consumption sites, which evidence shows, save lives. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

Yet against all evidence and in the midst of an opioid crisis, Conservatives continue to try to shut them down. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

There's still a LOT more work to be done on his file. I have ZERO confidence that it would get done under a Conservative govt. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

While previous versions of our Food Guide were heavily influenced by industry, Liberals gave us a new food guide largely informed by health care pros. Makes sense, right? Scheer wants to reverse that. #cdnpoli #TrudeauMustStay #NeverScheer

And last but not least ... Harper's parting gift of #patronageappointments
Gotta give Harper credit for "unprecedented" moves ... or not!

So, here's what is puzzling me. People are upset today about the pipeline getting approved. I get that. Governments should have begun heavily investing in the transition to green energies 20 or 30 years ago. Things would be radically different now if they had. #cdnpoli 1/25
However, here we are. We have much of our infrastructure still dependent on fossil fuels. We have a lot of people still dependent on fossil fuels for their livelihood. Approving #transmountain while committing all profits towards transitioning to renewables was a compromise 2/25
The government is in a very difficult situation here. There are conflicting demands from different groups of Canadians, demands that cannot be met fully on either side without causing hardship on the opposite side. 3/25

'Based on his performance since the scandal broke in early February, even setting aside the merits of the SNC-Lavalin issue, @justintrudeau deserves to lose in the fall. cbc.ca/news/opinion/c… … #cdnpoli
Andrew Scheer @AndrewScheer
This is crazy. The Office of the Ethics Commissioner is supposed to investigate conflicts of interest, not take part in them. This calls into question the entire office and the legitimacy of its investigations.

Trudeau, in my opinion, may be the biggest liar on planet earth today. He defended terrorist Omar Khadr more than his own lawyer did. Now, he’s saying that he knew nothing👇

#cdnpoli @InnovativeRG New federal politics release online. Lots to share. You can check out the deck for yourself here hubs.ly/H0gTR-H0. This thread covers the highlights.
First, while overall we see only marginal national changes in the vote, there are significant regional changes. The most significant in terms of seats are Liberals up in Quebec but down in BC and the Atlantic. Also down in AB but few seats at risk. Marginally down in Ontario.
Second, @justintrudeau has seen negatives grow and favs drop. While Trudeau still leads Scheer on best PM by 8 points. On traits, Trudeau is down:
•-9 points on strong leader and competent,
•-6 points on cares about people like me,
•-4 points on stand up for middle class.

If these healing lodges are so effective... I mean, something like 22 killers of children have been transferred to these lodges over the past 7 years or so (yes, it happened while the CPC was in power too),... 1/17 #cdnpoli
Then there must be clinical evidence that these settings are very effective in treating and rehabilitating even those offenders who have committed really heinous crimes. I doubt these decisions are made all willy nilly. So they must have a positive track record... 2/17
So, if these healing lodges are so effective, instead of fighting about who deserves the opportunity to heal & move towards being contributing citizens, shouldn't we be trying to restructure our corrections system so that every incarcerated person has this opportunity? 3/17

Now a few thoughts on MPs and national security (thread) #cdnpoli
For a long time Canada had no Parl oversight on national security file. MPs did not have the serious security clearances that were needed. This put us offside from how allies do things and created serious issues regarding transparency and accountability in a democracy #cdnpoli
Those who advocated for more security intelligence oversight said a committee of Parliamentarians was key - being able to ask questions and monitor key issues. Detractors said it's a bad idea because MPs aren't used to dealing with sensitive information #cdnpoli
