 the fed NDP leader was just asked if he'll vote with the Liberals in order to get legislation passed, even if it isn't perfect according to the NDP's wishes (paraphrased).
Singh: "We've withheld our votes in the past, we'll do it again."

(listening to presser on @CBCNews)

 NOW he's admitting to what I saw when following QP and the (slow as molasses) movement of bills through the Canada's Parliament.

During #elxn44 he kept saying that it was wrong of Trudeau to call an elxn, because they supported their bills and there was no need
3/
 Mr. Singh also made a big deal about this morning's news story, heavily implying it occurred much later than during transition

- see linked thread with important clarifications by @MarkBourrie & others on the thread

Again with the "some people wanted hard sustained lockdowns."

We have as yet had a "hard lockdown" and have not asked for that.
2/
 Also, he's blaming our higher unvaccinated rate. That rate wasn't any better when they opened the province up for Stampede. It's not like we had enough vaccinated in July, but then a bunch of unvaccinated people moved here 🙄
3/
 also says higher unvaccinated rate "despite our best efforts."

Not true, IMHO. There were provinces that much earlier than now, implemented real vaccine passports - and not the half-measures one we have, where you get out of being vaccinated by choosing being tested instead

I try really hard to be fair, when reading tweets by journalists. Their jobs have to be more complicated & difficult than I can imagine, & I have my own biases. That said, it sure appears as tho Mr. Akin has a very narrow view of anything associated with PM Trudeau. Sad, really
2/
 Here's part of what PMJT said, & the important context that Mr. Akin leaves out of his tweet:
"These two men have gone thru an unbelievably difficult ordeal. For the past thousand days they have shown strength, perseverance, resilience & grace, & we are all inspired by that."
3/
 source for my quote, and I assume the source for Mr. Akin's comment (which I quote-tweet at the top of this thread)

 (abbrev) "Nowhere were consequences of our collective blind spot over Que more evident than in English-lang debate. Rather than probing deeply into Bloc priorities dur only opp most Cdns had 2 learn more, moderator q'd Blanchet sharply about prov leg enacted by diff party" ...
2/
 "By contrast [to very little coverage of Bloc priorities], we know altogether too much about Maxime Bernier, a man who finished fourth in his own riding and whose party elected not a single candidate." nationalobserver.com/2021/09/24/opi…
3/
 (abbrev) "This creates serious dilemma for journalism bec what Bernier is doing is clearly newsworthy, tho primarily in context of how he's exploiting imperatives of news cvrge & stoking violence. The risk to public can't be ignored.

These are difficult editorial decisions."

When people react strongly on Twitter to a headline, it's usually that they didn't read the article. See my next tweet for some quotes from the article, that provide nuance & context ...
2/
 (abbrev) "Justin Trudeau said Sat that he remains open to getting rid of Cda's FPTP electoral system if his party re-elected, but added it's not a priority since there's no consensus on the issue."

(they did hold cmte mtgs, do studies, but no consensus among diff parties)
3/
 (from article Mr. Coyne is reacting to) "Trudeau said, however, that he would not favour proportional representation as an alternative, saying the system "gives more weight to smaller parties that are perhaps fringe parties."

(In other words, more legislative pwr to PPC)

- when did Trudeau say he was against taxing billionaires? Mr. Singh just said both Mr. Trudeau & Mr. O'Toole are against taxing the billionaires. This presser is nuts. Too many disingenuous statements. Discouraging that there are voters that believe him.

 just after posting my above tweet, @krismeloche's tweet appeared in my TL, basically saying the same thing
