My first time listening to .@RaquelDancho - she's hitting the nail on the head with some points (no response from elected officials) and quite well spoken. Might not agree with her party's policies all the time but I'm impressed - future party leader?

I know in #Alberta, hundreds of constituents have written their UCP MLA's & no response. Multiple letters and either no response or finally one, but it's a copy and paste push off - nothing to address their personalized concerns. The frustration does make sense.

In terms of @RaquelDancho saying ppl losing jobs b/c of the vaccine; if employers want to put these measures into place that is their choice. As it's a choice if workers choose not to get vaccinated - or pee in a cup for drug/alcohol tests for the jobs that require it.

@RaquelDancho Some Conservative MP's seem to forget that most of the health measures and restrictions are provincial, so blaming the Liberals for them isn't a valid argument. Each province dictates their own mandates, not the fed's.

Now he's bringing up how the Liberals were slow to shut the border down to keep Canada safe but are not ok with vaccine mandates for travel to keep Canada safe? I am so confused.

For the Conservative MP's - @fordnation needs to advocate to the Federal Government for help in #ottawa - there is a "chain of command" here; how would it look if them bulldozed the proper procedure - or is that what they're hoping for?

@fordnation The above was @LucBerthold. I'm glad .@MarkGerretsen is calling a spade a spade. The Conservative MP's threw a lot of fuel on this fire in #ottawa and now are back-peddling. So confused. At least @XBarsalouDuval called it out...

#OttawaOccupation #OttawaOccupied #ottawa

@fordnation @LucBerthold @MarkGerretsen @XBarsalouDuval The convoy called out from the beginning, supported by the leader of the Conservatives, that they wanted to overthrow the government. And several members of the Conservative Party went and took pictures with them!

@fordnation @LucBerthold @MarkGerretsen @XBarsalouDuval Kristina Michaud from the @BlocQuebecois is saying the movement has been taken over by the far right and conspiracy theorists. Talking about a little boy who couldn't get his cancer treatments because of protestors and blockades.

@fordnation @LucBerthold @MarkGerretsen @XBarsalouDuval @BlocQuebecois Side note: no one has brought up the foreign funding of these protests yet...

@fordnation @LucBerthold @MarkGerretsen @XBarsalouDuval @BlocQuebecois .@krimichaudbq - also very well spoken; not sure meeting with the protestors will do anything. And it's unfortunate that by representing her constituents views in Parliament, she mentions she is going to be inundated with hate mail from this convoy crowd.

@fordnation @LucBerthold @MarkGerretsen @XBarsalouDuval @BlocQuebecois @krimichaudbq CLAP FOR @krimichaudbq! Acknowledges the health measures most protestors are upset about are provincial.

What people seem to forget, a lot, is that even if Canada lifts border vacc. rules, the US has them.
