@cbcnews and pseudoscientist @niknanos 'poll tracker shows Erin O'Toole 'ahead' #Elxn44
Is that a joke?
50% of Canadian voters are women.
Sit down, put your feet up, grab a beer, glass of wine; HERE IS HOW Harper and Erin O'Toole treated Canadian women, 2006-2015.
1-
THEY cut abortion funding from maternal health for developing nations; a smack in the face to women and women's rights.
Cut the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (hurting centres that focused on providing support to abused women, such as Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal)
2-
THEY CUT from the Association féminine d’éducation et d’action sociale (AFEAS), the Canadian Child Care Federation, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, and the Child Care Resource and Research Unit.
3-
THEY CUT FROM or eliminated the Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women Toronto, First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Kelowna Women's Resource Centre, Marie Stopes International (a maternal health agency).
4-
THEY CUT FROM OR ELIMINATED Match International, the National Association of Women and the Law, Native Women’s Association of Canada, New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity, Older Women's Network, Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses.
5-
THEY CUT FROM OR ELIMINATED Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, the Réseau des Tables régionales de groupes de femmes du Québec, the Riverdale Immigrant Women’s Centre, Toronto, South Asian Women’s Centre, Status of Women Canada, the Tri-Country Women’s Centre Society.
6-
THEY CUT OR ELIMINATED the Womanspace Resource Centre (Lethbridge, Alberta), the Women and Health Protection Organization, the Women for Community Economic Development in Southwest Nova Scotia Organization, the Women’s Innovative Justice Initiative in Nova Scotia ..
7-
And cut from the Workplace Equity/Employment Equity Program, to name a FEW. Many of the organizations were world renowned. It’s incredible that O'Toole and his crew receive any votes from any women at all, yet shabby @CBCNews 'poll tracker' has O'Toole LEADING.
It doesn't add up.

14 Reasons Erin O'Toole Conservatives (Harper Redux top to bottom) are BAD for Canada;

1. Contempt for Canada
Found guilty found to be in contempt of Canada's parliament, first time in the history of any commonwealth government that this happened. #Elxn44

#cdnpoli #Elxn44
2. Cheated in the 2006, 2008, 2011 elections
In & Out fraud 2006, followed by campaign overspending fraud, robo-call fraud; in 2011 federal court found willful violation of the $18 million election campaign spending limit which originally brought them to power in 2006. #Elxn44
3. Turned Canada's Surplus into Debt
In 1993 Conservatives chalked up a $38 Billion deficit. By 2006 @liberal_party had turned it around into a $16 Billion surplus. Four years later Conservatives returned Canada to a record $56 Billion deficit. #Elxn44

'Conservatism These Days' Thread
First comes the 'populist' salesman who appeals to emotions, not facts. In fact, they tell us facts are fake and cannot be trusted coming from smart people like scientists or teachers, who aren't trustworthy, like a populist pitchman is.
1/
Now tie in some macho-man jingo and nationalist/patriotic short, emotional mumbo-jumbo phrases that endlessly repeat keywords like TAKE BACK, GOD BLESS, I'LL FIGHT for this, that blah blah .. FREE SPEECH, SCHOOL CHOICE, JESUS, FATHERLAND, MOTHERLAND, PAST GREATNESS etc.
2/
While at it's VERY CORE - is the putting of the blame for ones’ target audience's personal, educational, economic and everyday failures on those who have nothing to do with it; those of other colours, of other religions, and on the immigrants, the poor and 'foreigners.'

The Kelowna accord was a $5 billion @liberal_party agreement to improve the quality of health and education for Canada's First Nation's Peoples. Stephen Harper and Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party canceled it in 2006, immediately after they took office.
1 of 6. #cdnpoli
In 2010, Stephen Harper and Erin O'Toole's Conservatives cut funding for Sisters in Spirit; an internationally praised organization leading investigations into 600+ cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls.

In 2011 budget Stephen Harper, Erin O'Toole Conservatives failed to allocate any new funding for First Nations drinking water, even though there were 100 water advisories. They also refused to sign the UN Declaration designating clean water as a human right.

Quick thread here where as National Citizens Coalition President, Stephen Harper (who is idolized by Erin O'Toole) in 1994 speech to American Republicans explains to us all what Canadian Conservative Reform Partyism really is, and I QUOTE..
1/
'you (American audience) are probably more knowledgeable about Canada than most Canadians.' (denigrates Canadians)

'Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it ' (denigrates Canadian Parliamentary democracy) ..

'
2/
'don't feel bad for unemployed. They don't feel bad as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance.' (kicks the unemployed in the head)

''the Senate not very important in our political system' (Denise Batshit Bananas Batters; 'nuff said)

Canada's Conservative Reform Party is and always been based upon promoting a destructive Trickle Down economic system of inequality and prejudice founded on (Straussian) deception, as such it really has no place in today's society. Their real goal is to establish an aristocracy. ImageImageImage
2/ And because Canada's Conservative Reform Party goal is aristocracy, economic inequality and regressive taxation are requirements that they use to achieve it. The logical extension is clear; Reform Party Conservatism in Canada is the very antithesis of democracy #cdnpoli
3/ To sell their anti-democratic views the need for deception becomes apparent; how else to get the public to buy in? This is why narratives are cooked up; government is 'bad,' investing in community good is 'socialism,' and anyone opposing conservatism is a 'radical.' #cdnpoli
