Eternal reminder: Canadian "Conservatives" emulate their American counterparts exactly as much as they figure they can get away with. #cdnpoli
"All politicians are the same," they mooed lazily, chewing their collective cud in a field now openly ablaze. "There's no difference between political parties, *everybody* knows that!" /2 #cdnpoli
So how 'bout it, @PierrePoilievre? How *does* a woman's right to choose fit into your World's Freest Nation™️? How does it rate with your far right rage-baby #Freedumb cultists? I feel like I know the answer /3

It's a good thing we really have a top notch national media that asks all the questions that need asking regardless of political stripe 🙄 /6

Cowardice, thy name is "Conservative." They'll do it here if they can and as soon as they're able. Certain as the tides. /7

We're going to have to fire up the underground railroad again. Not. Even. Joking. Nothing's funny today. I want to cry and I want to break stuff and I'm goddamn exhausted /8
#GayMarriage is next & then it's interracial. Every #CivilRights gain is NOW on the chopping block. America's "Conservatives" just sent a signal to their ilk around the world, Canada's most certainly included: "GO FOR IT." We're in great danger. /9 #cdnpoli #RoeVWade
Never doubt it for one second:

Canadian "Conservatives" emulate their American counterparts exactly as much as they figure they can get away with and as soon as they're able

#cdnpoli #RoeVWade
You have a right to know what every political leader in Canada thinks about what just happened in America. Don't let them hide behind the #CdnMediaFailed zombies /11 #cdnpoli
Wow. Nailed it. /12 #RoeVsWade Image

Just don't get yourself arrested. @CalgaryPolice are just as forceful as ever AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT AN ANTIVAXER. Might get hit with a bike or other blunt instrument. They don't even care if you're a senior citizen, right @neufeld_mark? /41 #yyc #yyccc
DO YOU GET THAT THIS IS YOUR WHOLE CAREER FLASHING BEFORE YOUR EYES CHIEF @neufeld_mark? This IS a policing failure. We don't NEED to be told its not & we don't NEED to be told to just LIE DOWN & TAKE IT. You need to EXPLAIN THE FAILURE. /42 #yyc #yyccc

I hate that I still have to do Covid threads but evidently I still have to do Covid threads.

Friends don't let friends mindlessly share propaganda that enables power-mad, murderous dictators. Wherever you see the RT icon get it taken down. #FreeUkraine Image
Canada's "Conservatives" have been carrying Putin's water for years. Useful idiots at best, though there can be no doubt that some have taken money directly, just like their American counterparts /2 #cdnpoli Image
If Trump is Putin's puppet what does that make @candicebergen? (Hint: nothing good). That said, so far Canada's "Conservatives" aren't openly praising Putin like their U.S. counterparts are, indeed they're proposing counter-measures vs Russia. Nice to see but will it last? /3 Image

They say "you can't fight City Hall" but of course you can & whether it's City Hall, the Alberta Legislature or Parliament Hill if the cause is right, your strategy is solid and your numbers are good, YOU'LL ACTUALLY WIN EVERY TIME.

(This is your #EnoughIsEnough victory THREAD)
That's right, I said it: you'll actually win every time. That's Science. /2 bbc.com/future/article…
Yesterday some of us were hearing rumblings. Maybe an emergency cabinet session amongst Kenney & his henchmen & henchwomen (henchpeople?). If they were meeting they were meeting over Covid. They *had* to be /3

Whole world knows Canada's shame today. Cynical political leaders will call for a "blue ribbon panel" to "get to the bottom of this" so it sounds like they're doing something. The panel'll be under-funded & ignored, which is fine because the WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE #cdnpoli
The work's already been done, 94 #CallsToAction made & this work has been largely ignored by Canadians & its leaders. As it relates to Missing Children & Burial Information there are 6 very specific, eminently sensible & humane recommendations #cdnpoli /2 trc.ca/assets/pdf/Cal…
#71 is just calling for the data we already know exists to be forwarded to the appropriate agency, that it can no longer remain stubbornly sat on by repeated generations of bad government actors who would prefer to keep hidden the exact details of one of Canada's worst secrets /3

Nobody likes lockdowns but you can't say they don't work. In Alberta we lived through the proof of it. The failure lies in what sectors we choose to reopen & when & in not adopting a #ZeroCovid strategy like some much smarter places have adopted, saving lives & economies. THREAD Image
If it feels like our leaders don't know what they're doing it's because they don't but you can't blame that on lockdowns. There's no avoiding lockdowns when our hospitalization numbers rapidly approach a rate our hospitals can't manage. Other jurisdictions aren't failing. /2 Image
I tried to share this article with a "Conservative" friend who assured me we had to do things the way we did or our economy would fail. When I told him that just wasn't factually accurate he refused to read it & the chat ended in acrimony. Okay then. /3 thetyee.ca/News/2021/04/0…
