🧵The CPC and NDP created a toxic parliamentary environment during a pandemic, exactly when we Canadians expected and deserved to see effective negotiation and collaboration to address our needs. Instead of being collaborators they were obstructionists resulting in this election.
Opposition MPs focused on solely on attacking the gov't in office and/or obstructionism are political misfits. Their antagonism neuters their ability to work collaboratively and produce results that benefit those whose interests they are elected to serve. They won't get my vote.
The CPC agenda is to expand by O'Toole becoming relevant and by creating a case for so called "moderate" or middle of the political road Canadians to vote CPC instead of Liberal. The CPC they do not have a close and honorable relationship with truth. And liars won't get my vote.
I'm not a liberal but O'Toole's & Singh's endless sloganeering, memes and baseless attacks on Trudeau's minority gov't clearly reveal neither one has what it takes to be a PM. Being tone deaf to Canadians needs during a pandemic characterizes what their twitter accounts tweet.
Conservatives are averse to change/innovation. They favor privatized health care & hold onto socially traditional ideas like opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage, and cutting restrictions on businesses that harm the environment. Regressive 50's clap trap won't get my vote
Singh joined the CPC in a #witchhunt and threw our students under the bus. They wasted months that should have been devoted to meeting our needs. As it was a money issue that required a vote both Trudeau & Morneau were damned if they recused and damned if they didn't recuse.
Canada is a confederation and federal/provincial collaboration is a required skill. I sincerely hoped that some NDP policies would make headway while the minority Liberal gov't was in power but Singh wasn't up to the job. Singh lacks skills of a statesman & NDP won't get my vote.
Singh and O'Toole have gaslighting & lying in common on the "snap" election topic. They spin their lies but we know that we are having a federal election because the CPC & NDP were unable to rise above partisanship & created a toxic parliamentary environment during a pandemic.
There's a distinct difference between old time journalists who were objective and today's biased reporters who work for conservative media, especially American owned right leaning PostMedia outlets. mediabiasfactcheck.com/?s=PostMedia
@JustinTrudeau is a true leader who addresses issues not personalities. He's kept his gov't focused on keeping Canadians safe & financially viable during this pandemic. The opposition preoccupied with bean counting & faux scandals don't have what it takes to govern, Trudeau does.
NDP and CPC patterned behavior during this campaign is #manufacturedoutrage and blaming Trudeau for things that are beyond his control. @JustinTrudeau is a true leader who addresses issues not personalities. He’s the leader we Canadians need during this pandemic and beyond it.
It's clear that the Liberal decision to invest in Canadians so we would stimulate the economy was the right decision to make during this pandemic. Standard & Poor's Canada credit rating AAA with stable outlook. Moody's credit rating was last set at Aaa with stable outlook. contd
Fitch's credit rating was last reported at AA+ with stable outlook. DBRS's credit rating for Canada is AAA with stable outlook. tradingeconomics.com/canada/rating.
Holding onto hate is exhausting and that why listening to the CPC & NDP Trudeau bashing is exhausting. Looking forward with hope to building a better future together energizes. The Liberal party has an impressive track record liberal.ca/our-progress/
The Liberal party has a plan to keep moving Canada forward that I can support, despite the fact I'm not a Liberal liberal.ca/our-plan/ That's why they will get my vote.
Singh contrived to have this private member's bill knowing it would not pass so he had that failure to use against the Liberals. Some voters may not get that but all 792 voters on my email list get it and are angry about it. That's why my long time NDP riding will not vote NDP.
We know the NDP will not become our federal gov't. We thought we knew they were closer to being Liberal allies than to being CPC allies. But things change. Consider this: Singh's campaign against Trudeau aimed at vote splitting may result in what Canada doesn't need, a CPC gov't
I have searched but Singh doesn't have a distinguished background in anything that I can locate and surely not in foreign affairs. All Singh seems to have is Trudeau HATRED. What Canadians need is HOPE for a brighter post COVID future and IMO that's what the Liberals provide.

@1MikeMorris I checked Singh's tik tok out and noted he was trying to groom pre-teens & teens to become followers years before they can vote. It concerns me deeply that those followers may think is honestly presenting NDP policy because he isn't. He's gaslighting, misinforming and projecting.
@1MikeMorris 1. Opposition members who focus on solely on attacking the gov't in office and/or obstructionism are political misfits. Their antagonism neuters their ability to work collaboratively & produce results that benefit those whose interests they are elected to serve.
@1MikeMorris 2. Another reason I no longer support the federal NDP is because Singh has a patterned behavior of presenting issues as false dichotomies - informal fallacies based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available.
@ussefm 1. Penelakut First Nation claims to have located over 160 unidentified and undocumented graves near the former Indian Residential School on Kuper Island, an island about 40 kilometers from Nanaimo, British Columbia.
@ussefm 2. In a press release dated July 8, the First Nation says it is deeply mourned by this reminder of the number of children who have never returned to their families.
@ussefm 3. "We know that we have many brothers and sisters from our neighboring communities who have been sent to the Kuper Island Indian Residential School, write the representatives of the Penelakut First Nation in their press release.
