Today on @TheWestBlock can Andrew Scheer survive as Conservative leader? Two Tories on the show - one says he deserves a second chance, the other says time to show him the door after he and the party seemed out of touch with Quebec and major urban centres. #cdnpoli
speaking w Kurdish Regional Govt rep in DC @BayanRahman about the raid that killed Baghdadi, a renewed call for Canada to repatriate Canadian ISIS fighters and the West’s reaction to Turkish incursions into Syria that have killed Kurds who were at the forefront of fighting ISIS
Finally on the show today, last but never least @sandsatcsis joins us to look into whether USMCA/CUSMA will make it through before Congress heads home for Christmas and whether the calls for President Trump to be impeached could throw a wrench in the trade deal @SAISHopkins

#exclusive Global News has learned that @LeonaAlleslev will be announced as Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party tomorrow morning. Multiple conservative sources say Alleslev was told today. #cdnpoli #cpc
@LeonaAlleslev Leona Alleslev crossed the floor from the Liberal Party in September of 2018. She is a former Air Force officer and GTA MP. #cdnpoli #cpc
@LeonaAlleslev Alleslev is relatively new to politics, she was elected for the first time in 2015. For the Conservatives she brings the key element of being from the GTA, is generally seen as a progressive in the party, and she is a woman. #cdnpoli #cpc

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.

A disappointing statement from @TheJagmeetSingh “You cannot have Mr. Scheer’s beliefs and be the prime minister of Canada. It’s pretty clear,” Dear Mr Singh, I'm no Social Conservative.But it's not Scheer's personal beliefs that made many progressive conservatives like me choose
not to vote for his party. Scheer was either unable or unwilling to express himself on social issues & even simple ones like double citizenship, resume padding, and whether or not he hired a dynamite PR firm to blow up Bernier's reputation. Many progressive conservatives
continue to think that the #Conservative Party will be forced to replace this fourth liner with a first liner. But Mr. Singh, with all due respect, implying that a political leader's Roman Catholic beliefs disqualifies him from becoming a PM is the equivalent of

This is going to be a long thread, and yes I know it’s presumptuous for me to think that anyone cares enough about what I say for me to write a thread but bare with me. This is important. #ScheerHomophobia
I was 7 when marriage became legal in Canada. I remember exactly where I was when my dad sat me down and told me that there was something important happening in our country, and that he thought I was old enough to learn about it.
My parents were under the impression that I didn’t know that same-sex couples existed. This was the first of many times where I believed that my parents thought I was dumb. Two of their closest friends were gay and were fixtures at our house for Christmas and birthdays.

There are two primary methods of coercion used to enforce societal norms. The most visible is hard coercion, apparent in militias and police as well as courts, prisons, and institutional force of all kinds. (1)
The far more powerful form, without which the hard coercion would not be tolerated, is seductive coercion. (2)

SCHEER CONSERVATIVES on PARIS AGREEMENT

House vote #119 October 5, 2016 was to adapt the #ParisAccord UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK.... which included #carbontax

The Conservatives voted NO

▶️ openparliament.ca/votes/42-1/119/
House vote #308 June 6 2017 was about meeting TARGETS of #ParisAccord

▶️ openparliament.ca/votes/42-1/308/

They voted Yes to meeting the TARGET as a good will gesture towards Environmental resp b/c a clean🌎 is in everyones interest.Committing 2 proposed targets isn't legally binding
#Scheer is still against Trudeau's dangerous #carbontax. He's been campaigning HARD on this.

Over a 1 1/2 yr and Scheer never committed to any fixed targets the LIBS incl Trudeau, Butts & McKenna have complained loudly about NO Commitment from Scheer

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
