.⁦@grantshapps⁩ conjuring the memory of the Victorians in an energetic and uplifting paean to the importance of Britain’s infrastructure ⁦@CPSThinkTank⁩ #CPC19
Speaks of the frustration of trying to ‘cut through the blancmange’ and get even relatively simple decisions made - key to getting infrastructure built
Says that 3/4 of Thomas Cook clients now back, 95% on scheduled day. (I agree: has faded from news coverage precisely because govt has actually done a v g job of mopping up, even if precious little thanks for it...)

#CPC know #Scheer is a weak leader, who lied about his earlier job qualifications to hide that he'd been on taxpayer's teat his whole adult life, is homophobic, will endanger our health as payoff for industry donations - but they are standing behind him not whining (1/7 thread)
about his 'imperfections'. They defend & champion him as they do for their candidates whether they're shitty or not. Meanwhile Liberals have been trashing #Trudeau for his distant past while overlooking his current achievements & govt successes & party's vision of country.
This is how Conservatives win. Because too many Liberals are holier-than-thou hypocrites & who can't handle if their pet cause didn't advance enough, because these Liberals think that their cause is the most important, damn the rest. If ur one of those Liberals, you deserve

Got something cute to show you, #CPC.

That's for today, with #PPC2019

/1
This is #scheer4PM.

If it wasn't of the posts about Hong Kong, you'd be even lower.

/2
Come to the [blue] light, folks!

If you truly want #TrudeauMustGo, it's with Bernier that you'll make that happen.

@CanuckTraveler People seem to forget that #CPC have a large voting base. #Canada is made up of a very centrist voting public, meaning, they lean left & right. They DO NOT lean far left. They DO NOT vote NDP, EVER! To think they will, is hubris & shows serious naivety. #cdnpoli
#Ontario #CPC government is not even trying to work with the Federal #LPC government. Why, they don’t care about the people of #Ontario this is a fact. They are so busy taking away our rights & healthcare, & forcing propaganda onto the people of Ontario. #cdnpoli #onpoli
If we don’t start fighting back, if we don’t start uniting under the #LIBERAL #LPC government WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING CANADIANS CHERISH, OUR VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY WILL BE GONE! #cdnpoli #onpoli #abpoli

#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?

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
