PP is acting like a frat boy trying to gain entrance to an elite fraternity he's not sufficiently qualified to join, especially given he has no clear platform, policies, or a vision for the future of Canada other than to fire his intellectual superior at the BOC!

"Pierre Poilievre’s performance in the first two Conservative leadership debates is a strong argument against his suitability for the job of prime minister."

Why politics and central banking shouldn't mix

Poilievre's attack on the governor of the Bank of Canada might be great for riling up his supporters, but it is bad policy that ignores history.

Great thread.

#cdnmedia also contributed to polarizing our society & also needs attention. Eg, the obsession with Clinton's emails led to the rise of Trump. Similarly, wrongful WE coverage led to the dissolution of a valuable Charity. Ironically, NDP & CPC did its part. #cdnpoli

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

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.
