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)
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:
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.
This is a heinous lie I continue seeing #LiberalTwitter tell, as some argument about #NDP obstructing the LPC, as an excuse for this election, let's unpack it.
No, the NDP did not, "vote against the disabled". They initially refused to support the Covid-19 spending bill in June, which contained a $600 payment for disabled Canadians. And for good reason.
The Liberals wanted to fine/jail CERB recipients! (2/9)
Which was pretty unfair, and necessary to stop, because LIBERAL MPs like Wayne Easter and Adam Vaughan who told people to apply for CERB whether they knew they qualified or not! Can we say, entrapment? I'm no lawyer but, unfair to say the least. (3/9)
As someone who opposes Islamophobia, why should I vote strategically for a party that drafted a dog-whistle bill around it or that voted for it, over the NDP who didn't?
As someone who supports labour organizing, why would I vote strategically for a party who doesn't want to strengthen labour laws to support workers during strikes and lockouts, when the NDP does?
As someone who wants trade deals that are good for Canada and Canadian workers and don't contain harmful ISDs and respect our sovereignty, why would I vote strategically for any party who undermines that? #trade#cdnecon#Elxn2021
