@Scribulatora's post about #Pharmacare is baloney

Here's why:

First, the Hoskin's report that Liberals commissioned, says that there should be a Bill for Pharmacare passed BY January 2022. Bills pass 3 readings in the HoC before going to the Senate, they tabled NOTHING! (1/9)

Also, in the 2019 election, Liberals promised us Pharmacare and incumbent MP Patty Hajdu, just 3 MONTHS later, began walking back this promise in the media. (2/9)

Add to that, in incumbent Chrystia Freeland's 2021 Budget, the Liberals allocated NOTHING NEW for Pharmacare!

And no Liberals, them topping up PEIs existing program, amounts to $54/person is NOT Pharmacare. It's a carrot to give you hope.

Ah hell no, @Scribulatora! The evident statistical, real truth is this:

Conservatives win elections because Centrists like Scribulatora literally votes for them.

Which goes to my next point...

#VoteABC #NeverVoteConservative

In NS 2021, ON 2018, 2006 and 2011, Cons won because LIBERAL swing voters, VOTED CONSERVATIVE. #Librealslookitupchallenge

Liberals like Scrib then turn around and scare-monger the left about vote-splits b/c they want Liberal majorities. (4b/9)

If you want to talk about "thwarting positive change" it's rewarding the Liberal Party who has broken promises to the Left with our vote and giving them a mandate to continue letting us down. (5/9)

Like they did when they voted WITH the Cons, AGAINST NDP's motions and bills such as:

1) Negotiating with the Provinces within a year's date, for Pharmacare. ourcommons.ca/members/en/vot…

&

2) @MPJulian's, Act to enact an Act for Pharmacare, ourcommons.ca/members/en/vot… (6/9)

Or like they did when they adopted Stephen Harper's health care funding and maintained it for 6 years!

This is the party who cares about Pharmacare? They who maintain austerity on health care, vote against Public LTC, against dental, against Pharmacare?

No.

(7/9)

The only thing Liberals have done towards Pharmacare in Parliament 43 is re-affirm their commitment to it in March (another @NDP motion ty @DonDavies!) after again, Patty Hajdu was seen walking back her campaign promise in January in the media.

(8/9)

Liberal promises take a life-time.

Electoral reform: 98+, child care: 51+, meet a climate change target 29+, free tuition: 56+ YEARS!

This suggestion Liberals are the only path to something they've lied to us about for 24 years, that NDP pushes for is silly.

#VoteNDP!
