CSIS' *illegal* leak Fife & Chase wrote about in the Globe was released the same day as Justice Roleau's report vindicating the LIBs for the hammer they brought down on the #FreedomConvoy!

It is a major clickbait distraction based on China's bragadocious lies. #cdnpoli
The lie about re-electing a minority Gov means LIBs needed to win 140-165 seats & no more than 170 or less than 140!

How did China convince Quebec to elect the BLOC instead of PMJT?

THINK!

LIBs accepting "undisclosed cash donations"? Political suicide & a LIE!

THINK! #cdnpoli Image
My thread on the Conservative/CSIS/FIFE distraction from Roleau's report is here:

Justin Trudeau says his rivals are helping to undermine Canada’s democracy thestar.com/politics/feder…
Turning the issue into a political football when Canada’s top security and civil servants assert election results weren’t affected is wrong, Trudeau says.

Great thread 🔥

Claiming China had "a sophisticated strategy" to *specifically* get a LIB minority as Fife did is patently absurd.

CSIS illegally leaked “top secret” material to a highly partisan Conservative journalist. For political purposes?

One of Fife's other claims in the Globe article as to how China interferes is that "undeclared cash donations" are given to political candidates or international Chinese students can "volunteer"! The problem is cash over $20 is not allowed.

Is that a CSIS error or a FIFE error? Image
“(China) did not have the impact they claimed,” Kelshall, president of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies in Vancouver, said."

Post to come on alleged claims: “…Chiu faced social-media campaigns on WeChat & WhatsApp ...”

The jarring echo in a recent Pierre Poilievre speech
theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Whether it's plagiarizing speech, inventing fake people like Mustafa, or pretending real crisis like global inflation is on PMJT's spending, Poilievre, is about using props, not real people.
#cdnpoli
One of Poilievre's favorite props to puff himself up is blaming PMJT by #Gaslighting or straight out lying

PMJT is NOT decriminalizing drugs. BC is decriminalizing being in possession of small amounts of drugs. It's been unofficial RCMP policy for years!
#bcpoli #cdnpoli
Beware Pierre Poilievre and his simplistic solutions

"It’s much easier for him to create false binaries and paint the political landscape in exclusively partisan colours, and he shows no sign of deviating from this well-worn path."

12 signs of narcissism: fulhamconsulting.com.au/mental-notes/n…

"The world of the narcissist is all about good-bad, superior-inferior, and right-wrong."

Poilievre's Conservatives forced "Trudeau to put his tail beneath his legs"! Public consulations had nothing to do with it.

#cdnpoli
"To maintain the facade of perfection, narcissists always have to blame someone or something else."

Asked if GOV demonstrated "good faith" led to:

"CBC is carrying Trudeau's water again"!

"They can deal with only one perspective at a time—theirs."

Self explanatory
"Some narcissists show their anxiety by talking constantly about the doom that is about to happen...."

["Canada feels broken"]

Narcissists don’t feel much guilt because they think they are always right...."

Only a Poilievre GOV can protect "law-abiding" Canadians who own guns.

How does a bill passed in 2019 cause crime to increase between 2015 & 2019?

Note how crime rates are skewed by 2 Conservative prairie Provs & Territories?

MPs should tell Conservative Premiers to clean up their own back yards instead of ignorantly blaming PM Trudeau!
#cdnpoli Image
Canada’s Crime Severity Index was stable in the 2nd yr of the pandemic at 73.9 in 2020 & 73.7 in 2021! "This follows a 7% drop in the CSI in 2020....."

Violent Crime "rose in 2021, largely due to more police-reported level 1 sexual assaults" #cdnpoli ImageImage
The dishonesty & fear-mongering of @PierrePoilievre & other Conservatives needs to stop & #cdnmedia need to stop platforming their histrionics. It's a blatant attempt to grab power at the expense of truth & is why the polls are changing, in addition to the LIBs' lousy comms team. Image

If "catch & release" exists b/c of PMJT or the criminal code, the 4 Coutts blockaders who plotted to kill RCMP officers wouldn't be in jail without bail.

Bail is in the jurisdiction of crown prosecutors & the Judge. Talk to your AGs!
timescolonist.com/local-news/cat…
#cdnpoli
Accused people have a right to bail, but there are long-standing disparities in the system

"But many legal and justice experts say calls for stricter rules around bail miss the bigger picture of structural issues in the justice system."
cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
"Bill C-75 ... in determining whether release should be ordered, two specific factors should be considered by the judge: whether the person on trial is charged with an offence in the commission of which violence was used, threatened or attempted...."

The emotional & intellectual immaturity of a man who speaks to people who deny science, residential schools, & are racists & homophobic says to me that he really doesn't want to be Prime Minister.

One thing for sure: powerful people won't be trembling in his presence🤦‍♂️!
#cdnpoli
“At some point Mr. Poilievre needs to begin showing that he is prime ministerial material, that he has the gravitas to ascend to such an important position. Because up to now, he’s been one of the least serious Conservative leaders we have seen …”
theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
And the party leader which courts extremism in Canada? Pierre Poilievre:
“Mostly it is a kind of adolescent nihilism, an unwillingness to be bound by any constraint, whether of taste, morals, logic or reality – and, ultimately, the law”
