NDP leader @theJagmeetSingh at a town hall is asked what is the first thing he would say to President Trump if elected PM. Singh says he hopes President Trump is impeached before that #cdnpoli #elxn43
I asked Singh if he would abolish the Indian Act if elected. He says it would need a complete overhaul and he would replace it with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People #cdnpoli #elxn43
I also asked Singh if he could clarify how the decriminalization or legalization of drugs would look under an NDP government. Singh says Portugal but then mostly seems to focus on taking possession out of the criminal justice system #cdnpoli #elxn43

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer asked by @davidakin if his campaign about Liberal leader Justin Trudeau being "not as advertized" is hypocritical given Scheer's dual citizenship which he did not disclose to Canadians #cdnpoli #elxn43
@davidakin Scheer is asked again if he registered for the draft as a US Citizen, something that would have been required under US law. Scheer said he would have to check if he registered for the draft or not in response to previous question #cdnpoli #elxn43
@davidakin Scheer says it was a personal decision he made before the election to renounce his American citizenship. Unclear why he waited so long. Issue for CPC is that party had previously criticized other politicians for holding dual citizenship #cdnpoli #elxn43

I understand French but am far from fluent so watching the debate in French is a very different experience... I end up paying more attention to tone, body language, expressions etc than I typically do listening to the leaders in English #elxn43 #faceafaetva #cdnpoli
Trudeau pushing Scheer hard on abortion - what is Scheer’s personal belief? Scheer sticks to his lines: nothing will change under a Conservative government. Trudeau now going at Scheer again on abortion, is it a woman’s right to choose, yes or no? #elxn43 #faceafaceTVA #cdnpoli
Now we are on to touchy territory for all of the leaders: Bill 21.

I think I need to talk about Canada's racism problem.

Yesterday, @GurratanSingh was accosted by a racist in Mississauga. This racist expected him to account for the actions of the Muslim Brotherhood for no reason except that Gurratan has brown skin.1/

Today, members of the NDP in New Brunswick made the decision to defect to another party. Among their reasons for this, they claimed that the racism against NDP leader @theJagmeetSingh made it impossible for them to win seats, and difficult to even recruit candidates.2/

Meanwhile, a man who was 2% away from becoming the leader of the official opposition has founded a party dedicated to opposing "mass immigration" but has never complained about me, the child of immigrants who were part of the largest "mass immigration" in our history.3/

#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.

First let’s talk about basic Indigenous rights, then we’ll get to reconciliation

The 2 events are aspects of the same fight — "to be fairly, legally recognized in a country that spins stories about the sincerity of reconciliation...."
