1/2 This 'cost of a hotel room' is a deliberate distraction. The CPC will draw attention to as many distractions as they can to
1. stay in the mainstream news & social media trending news,
2. secure responses & RTs, and
3. amplify their social media influence. ⬇️
2/2 As facts and logic do not matter when one is fueling a distraction because the aims are only the 3 I listed above ⬆️ I refuse to play their game.
That's why those who do play the game will not get any responses, likes or RTs from me.
FWIW I also consider the 'i didn't get an invitation it was sent to the wrong email address' to be a deception also designed as distraction. He got an invitation and reminder and it's up to him to be sure his email address is up to date. So once again I refuse to play the game.
Until the next federal election writ is dropped 'ordinary working people slogans and memes will continue to be #PierrePoilievre's mainstay. He has the support of his predecessor #lyingAndy Scheer who recently advised him not to articulate policies ⬇️
at the CPC Canada Strong and Free conference and unpacking the reasoning behind that advice is easily done. After the election writ is dropped #PierrePoilievre will try to provide saleable policies that appeal to the working class. ⬇️
Articulating them prior to the writ being dropped means they will be subject to dissection and analysis by experts who will be focused of highlighting their shortcomings. So what we are in for while Poilievre tries to get Singh to withdraw from the C&S agreement is more ⬇️
memes and slogans to gain support from working class voters, as an Abacus Data poll suggests he enjoys more support among working-class voters than does the leader of any other party. ⬇️
Note also that so-called “ordinary working people” represent a voting bloc of as many as 6.5 million Canadians, the conference heard this week, based on analysis of Statistics Canada data. Image

@PierrePoilievre 🧵Let's unpack the misleading @PierrePoilievre meme ⬆️ by examining Liberal #Budget2023 tax provisions.
A re-elected Liberal government will: Raise #corporateincometaxes on the largest, most profitable banks and insurance companies who earn more than $1 billion per year and⬇️
@PierrePoilievre introduce a temporary #CanadaRecoveryDividend that these companies would pay in recognition of the fact they have recovered faster and stronger than many other industries.
Create a #minimumtaxrule so that everyone who earns enough to qualify for the top bracket pays at least ⬇️
@PierrePoilievre 15 % each year (the tax rate paid by people earning less than $49,000), removing their ability to artificially pay no tax through excessive use of deductions and credits.
Note: A tax on luxury cars, boats, and planes came into force on September 1, 2022. ⬇️

🧵In Canada, medical practice is restricted to the province/territory in which a physician is licensed. The Canadian Medical Association #CMA has been calling gov'ts to implement #panCanadianlicensure most recently at a meeting of Atlantic health ministers in January 2023.⬇️
Other than a few exceptions, practising in a different province or territory means a lengthy application process, sometimes months long, and thousands of dollars in fees. How does the #CMA define #panCanadianlicensure?⬇️
The ability for physicians with full licences to practise independently without restrictions or for medical resident trainees registered in any Canadian jurisdiction to practise or train in any other Canadian jurisdiction ⬇️

The highest level of 1% income is currently located in British Columbia. However, Ontario is not far behind. And if we look to province to province discrepancies, we can see that 1% earners in British Columbia earn 53% more than those in the Territories.
What percentage of Canadians make over $100,000?
Only around 11% of Canadians make more than $100,000 a year according to statistics Canada.
With the rising costs of living it is becoming increasingly difficult to live off of anything lower than a six figure salary.
How much does the average Canadian person make a year? According to Statistics Canada, the average Canadian salary in 2020 was $51,300. It's a far cry from the one-percenters average income of just over half a million dollars, and highlights the significant income gap in Canada.
