1/ Pierre Poilievre says he only learned about Diagolon a month ago. Yet, he was in the House of Commons on February 20th when Diagolon was described in debates no less than 3 times as being a possible violent threat. Was PP simply not paying attention or did he lie about never
2/ having heard of them? Which is more dangerous? A leader who doesn’t pay attention to threats facing the country or a leader who doesn’t care?

Remember: the context of that debate was The Emergencies Act, and whether Canada actually faced a violent threat.

At the very least,
3/3 Pierre should have done his research on Diagolon at that time. If he didn’t, he is incompetent. If he did, and later misled Canadians about it, then he is a liar.

Which is it @PierrePoilievre?

You tell us.

#cdnpoli #Diagolon
Update: Diagolon was mentioned SIX TIMES over the course of the Commons debate regarding the Emergencies Act. Not only was he present, he actively participated in those debates.

But he wants us to believe he only learned about them recently? #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou
Update #2: I've created a new, more concise thread that introduces even MORE evidence proving that #PierrePoilievre is full of (sh)it. Enjoy.

🧵@PierrePoilievre says he only heard about Diagolon "about a month ago", however:

✅Pierre was in Commons when Diagolon was mentioned SIX TIMES during the debate over the Emergencies Act. That was in February.

✅In fact, he is directly addressed by NDP member @HMcPhersonMP
1/ Image
@PierrePoilievre @HMcPhersonMP ✅ A description of the Diagolon group was entered into OFFICIAL EVIDENCE of "The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security" on March 31st.

2/ Image
✅After marching with James Topp, Pierre came under fire because of possible connections to Diagolon. It's undeniable that he is responding here to a question about Diagolon. This was July 7th. 3/ Image

This Pierre Poilievre video is full of so much smug and smarmy faux-outrage that it was genuinely hard to watch. Nonetheless, I managed to hang in there and compose a list of blatant lies Pierre spewed forth. A thread. 🧵

#canpoli #PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou

1/
Claim: "You said you want to phase out the energy sector!"

A lie. Pierre is intentionally conflating the oil and gas industry - one part of the energy sector - with the energy sector as a whole. The Trudeau government has committed millions to growing renewables.

2/
Claim: "You have said you want to cut back [farmers] fertilizer by 30%".

Truth: Pierre is confused or lying. The gov't wants to cut back *emissions* by 30%. Cutting back on fertilizer is one of many ways being discussed to accomplish that goal... but no plan has been made.
