1) This is on Conservative Premiers who, from the start, gave succor to anti-masking protesters & other lawbreakers.

"In asserting that federal emergency powers are not needed in Alberta, Premier Kenney is misconstruing

2) the real reason for this proclamation of a national public order emergency. The emergency is not just the blockades and occupations, which were always just a symptom of what really ails Canada as the COVID-19 pandemic nears the two-year mark.
3) In my view, the real emergency is a governance and legitimacy crisis for government. An emergency which was created by the very sort of lawmaking practices exhibited by the Premier and his executive in addressing COVID-19, only further exacerbated the absence of any
4) significant use of enforcement powers under the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act to clear out the Coutts blockade."
Kenney Govt "legitimacy crisis" led to PM Trudeau creating Emergencies Act to clear illegal occupiers

1) Thought-provoking

"Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle, violent, so long as he can order someone else to do
2) the dirty work, grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace, treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for
3) women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy.

That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse.

What infuriates me is the arrogance of some #antivaxxers in the #OttawaOccupation claiming they are fighting for my freedoms too. They haven't lost freedom. They lost privileges b/c they CHOSE to be unvaccinated while THOUSANDS of vaccinated lost the right to needed surgeries.
#antivaxxers have not lost Freedom - choices have consequences.

Privileges are not Rights. They're privileges.

#OttawaOccupation
#TruckersGoHome
Polls like Angus Reid, a Conservative pollster & that are self-selecting online polls, are giving #antivaxxers a false belief that they are in the majority & that most Canadians support them. They do not. 90% are vaccinated so #MathisHard? You're noisy - full stop.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Singh has long spoken about the misinformation of the LIBS when he was asked abt Freeland's O'Toole video.

OMG. I can't believe what I am hearing from a pathological liar.
#cdnpoli
Singh claims PMJT has done absolutely nothing to save lives.

Unfreaking real. PMJT has had Canadians' back throughout the entire pandemic.

The man is obsessed with PMJT & how bad he is.
What Singh would do about reaching annual targets for reducing emissions asked by one reporter & Singh blathers on about getting rid of oil subsidies that PMJT allegedly increased, invest in transit & blah blah blah but the question was never answered about what he would do.

1) Singh falsely claims "Because of our work ... because of the pressure we built, the government designated the Proud Boys and a few other alt-right groups as terrorist organizations...."

#cdnpoli
2) The Gov of 🇨🇦 didn't jump to Mr Singh's "pressure", despite the HOC's unanimous support of his motion to ban the Proud Boys. Canada does a statutory review of terror groups every two yrs & added to their list in 2019.
3) It's a legal process actually requiring evidence & intelligence gathering, not a political process directed by the HOC, PMJT, or Mr Singh's alleged "pressure"!

Two additions of far-RW groups to the terror list in June 2019 were Blood & Honor & its armed wing Combat 18.

1) Conservative Premiers & #cdnmedia are blaming PMJT for vaccine delays & want to see Pharma contracts.

Some are accusing PMJT for taking vaccines from poor countries (COVAX) which is not true.

2) Vaccines coming thru COVAX were always meant to benefit Canada & poor countries. We're also one of COVAX's top donors so that poor countries have access to vaccines.

PMJT "...encouraged premiers to tell their constituents ... that weekly disruptions in supplies are to be
3) expected, but that he has been assured by the CEOs of both Pfizer and Moderna that they will meet their contractual obligations to Canada to provide a combined 6 million doses by the end of March."
