In response to @MaximeBernier being invited to the leaders’ debates in October, the Liberal party stresses that the debate commission is independent. See full statement below 👇🏻 #cdnpoli #onpoli
From the Conservatives: “It’s no big surprise that Justin Trudeau’s hand-picked debate panel used a Liberal-friendly pollster who attacks Andrew Scheer to ultimately justify Mr. Bernier’s attendance at the debate.”
Full statement here👇🏻 #cdnpoli #elxn43
From the NDP on Bernier’s attendance at the debates: “we still think that giving Maxime Bernier a national platform to spread hate and division in our country is wrong.” Full statement 👇🏻 #cdnpoli #elxn43
Note: Debates Commissioner David Johnston was appointed governor general by former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, Liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau appointed him to the newly created debates commission after his tenure as governor general ended. #cdnpoli #elxn43

Former Tory leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary and Tory Leader @AndrewScheer walk in for their chat at Ryerson University #onpoli #cdnpoli
O’Leary dives right in, says the GM closure today is the start of a trend. Says there’s no reason why the Oshawa plant couldn’t be converted to build electric cars #onpoli #cdnpoli
Scheer says it took Ottawa nine months to respond to U.S. corporate tax changes. Says that’s too long.
O’Leary says the reason why jobs are leaving Canada is because Trump gave corporations ability to write off investments
Note that feds made changes in this last week #cdnpoli

Debate on Bill 31 (which overrides the charter and downsizes Toronto city council) is now underway, starting with Municipal Affairs Minister @SteveClarkPC. There are more government MPPS here than opposition MPPs #onpoli #topoli
@SteveClarkPC Clark says things like Toronto council's 15 hour debate on the city's budget are reasons why Toronto needs a smaller council. #onpoli #topoli
@SteveClarkPC Clark notes that the Ford government got support for triggering the notwithstanding clause from former premiers @christyclarkbc, @BradWall306 and Jean Charest #topoli #cdnpoli #onpoli

A short thread about #cdnmedia the role of journalism (as I see it) and partisanship in Canada. #cdnpoli

Here we have a prominent Ottawa journalist denouncing his union head for taking an anti-Conservative position in the upcoming federal election.
I get it, and I understand it. The media - and "journalists" in particular - have an important role to play in a free and democratic society, particularly in the lead up to an election. Their role is to inform the public.
Ideally, they should be cutting through political rhetoric and party spin, and providing context, so that voters can make their own judgements.

Holy crap: Canada's Parliamentary Budget Officer says that under the National Housing Strategy, the Trudeau government will spend 14% LESS on Assistance for Housing Need programs over the next 10 years as compared to the previous 10 years pbo-dpb.gc.ca/web/default/fi… #cdnpoli
Trudeau's National Housing Strategy turns out to be mainly a giant handout to banks and private landlords that spends LESS on social housing and helps FEWER people in core housing need than under Harper pbo-dpb.gc.ca/web/default/fi… #cdnpoli
From the PBO report: the Ford government spent all of the additional federal housing funding on deficit reduction, and NOT new housing spending. Overall affordable housing spending in Ontario has actually DECREASED under the National Housing Strategy #cdnpoli #onpoli

Yellow Vests Canada Exposed
@VestsCanada
Yesterday Islamophobes Peter Salemi, Mary Forrest, Leigh Stuart, and other members of #YellowVestsCanada attempted a protest on a bridge in the GTA.

Cops told them to move off the bridge and a full on hissy fit commenced. /1

#cdnpoli #onpoli #cdnmedia
Salemi : “notice they’re Muslim cops?”

I thought Islam wasn’t a race. How can he tell they’re Muslim?

Oh. They’re brown. /2

#YellowVestsCanada #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #onpoli
Here are some of the comments on Salemi’s live feed. There are other videos, with other comments, but fuck if I’ll spend any more time on these cretins. /3

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

3) Trudeau’s carbon tax takes effect in industrial heartland

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

A very successful Council of Federations in St. Andrews, NB. We agreed to join SK in the fight against the federal carbon tax. We also joined QC and MB in agreement that the Federal Government should pay all costs associated with illegal border crossers.

All of Canada's Premiers agreed to stand together and protect jobs during the NAFTA negotiations, and to reduce barriers on interprovincial trade. #cdnpoli #onpoli
I look forward to continuing to work closely with my provincial counterparts, and to always putting Ontario families first. I would like to thank the fine people of New Brunswick for hosting this year’s conference. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Let's recap this weekend in the @OntLiberal Party's apparent Election Finances Act violations! #ONpoli #ONelxn @aradwanski @CBCQueensPark @ElectionsON
Liberal Tour staffer @AshleyCsanady posts a video ad from "Women for Wynne". Which is odd, because the party shouldn't be promoting legitimate third parties, as that may constitute prohibited collusion under the Election Finances Act. #ONpoli #ONelxn
Then @AshleyCsanady responds saying that the ad "isn't from the party". Which is fine for the Liberals, but then would be a problem for Women for Wynne because it isn't registered as a third party with @ElectionsON despite appearing to spend $500.00 in ads. #ONpoli #ONelxn
