•residential schools were designed to provide education
•requires a study to understand what systemic racism is
1/4
2/4
•supports Mr.Kenney's controversial critical infrastructure defence bill
•supported every one of Andrew Scheer's repeated calls to the RCMP to remove Indegenous people from railroads blockades

3/4
•Manitoba chiefs furious after Ottawa sends body bags to flu-stricken reserves (Stephen Harper)
•Mr Scheer "we cannot create a syst in this country where one group of individuals,one Indigenous community, can hold hostage large projects that employ so many Indigenous 🇨🇦dns"
4/4
•Conservative MP (Pierre Poilievre) told an Ottawa radio station that former residential school students need a stronger work ethic, not more compensation dollars.

*These statements are literally the opposite of a serious approach to reconciliation*

Before you believe Erin O'toole's narrative that Conservatives are fighting for us, please be aware of what they did the last time Conservatives formed government. Also please keep in mind that Erin O'toole supported all of it.

Conservative logic.

1. Solve climate change by entirely ignoring the problem.

2. Solve gun related violence by loosening gun laws.

3. Circumvent abortion rights by introducing "matter of conscience" legislation.

4. Protect statues over living beings.

5. Legislate cuts to healthcare services during a pandemic.

6. Maximize school class sizes but limit social gatherings.

7. Ignore social distancing & wearing masks but deflect blame on medical experts if you contract the Coronavirus.

8. Present conspiracy theories as facts
3/4

9. Claim to support Indegenous peoples but refuse to acknowledge or support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indegenous peoples.

Dear 🇨🇦 please understand when you don't vote you don't matter in the eyes of the government. Students if you want the govt to hear your frustrations with rising tuition costs, VOTE. If you're outraged over the state of LTC homes, VOTE. cbc.ca/news/canada/vo…
If support teachers, VOTE. If you support our healthcare workers, VOTE. If you're angry that women, LGBTQ2, indigenous people, minorities must still fight for basic rights in 2020, VOTE. If you're tired of gun related tragedies, VOTE.
If you're tired of working for living wages that barely make ends meet, VOTE. The chaos that is present in AB, ON and to our neighbors in the south can all be avoided by ONE SINGLE VOTE. Let me put it in simpler terms, would you feel comfortable placing your life in the hands of

Mr.O'toole when you state you're pro-choice but agree to allow conservative members to reopen the abortion debate Canadians realize you're using this loophole to avoid personal accountability. When you state climate change is real but still support industries that
directly contribute to it Canadians realize you don't have the ability to understand simple scientific truths. When you state it must be a top priority to improve the relationship between the government and Indigenous communities but refuse to acknowledge
The United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples including your view to pass a Freedom of Movement Act that will make it a criminal offence to block a railway, airport, port, or major road, or to block the entrance to a business or household

So let me get this straight. We have countless Conservative MPs that have been guests on Rebel Media, One who has made protesting illegal and actually legislated a power grab to undermine democracy (Mr.Kenney's Bill 1&10), One leader who used party funds for personal expenses...
...One in Ontario that frequently circumvented qualifications to hire friends. Another one that mismanaged a 4.7 Billion corporate handout to O&G (Mr.Kenney again). One who recited passages from the New Zealand mosque shooter manifesto to a Muslim witness who was testifying...
...about online hate speech during a May committee hearing (Mr.cooper) who is now questioning witnesses on the WE charity. One Conservative finance critic (Mr.Poilievre) who accepted over $21,600 worth of free travel for him and his then-girlfriend, now wife to visit ...
