I am so fucking sick of every conservative politician & every conservative pundit who got the message to “make this Trudeau’s problem”! We all need a bullshit radar because this is full on #Gaslighting
Does this absolve the Liberal govt from responsibility for that has happened? No! They clearly underestimated the risk & overestimated provincial & municipal capabilities to deal with the situation.
But at the end of the day, we need to acknowledge that this was not (is not) ending without federal intervention.
And this was anything BUT a “peaceful protest”.

In 2015, @CPC_HQ spent a lot of time & $$ telling us Trudeau was #JustNotReady even tho Trudeau was world traveled, grew up steeped in politics, had 2 university degrees, had worked various jobs, including a few yrs as a teacher, & had been an MP for 7 yrs.
This year, @CPC_HQ spent a lot of time & $$ telling us Trudeau is #NotAsAdvertised even tho their own leader spent the last 15 yrs lying about his university degree, his credentials as an insurance "broker" & his work experience prior to politics. And he hid his US citizenship.
Anyone else sensing a trend here?
So my Q is - Why would anyone give their vote to a guy who actively contributed to the above personal attacks while he, himself: took 8 yrs to acquire a BA; has repeatedly lied about his own credentials while engaging in the above attacks;
For those who may be interested in knowing more, the website where these campaign promises / accomplishments are tracked is publicly available poltext.org
Here's a screenshot of the Trudeau results to-date
It's more than a little ironic that @andrewscheer would claim @JustinTrudeau & the Liberals just make stuff up given there's a veritable treasure trove of evidence that it's EXACTLY what he & his party do DAILY. This CANNOT continue to go unchallenged! #cdnpoli#cdnmedia#thread
