Right wing pundits will not go there - Foreign Interference under the Stephen Harper Conservative Party in Canada.

So let's go there. Stephen Harper - during his 9 years in power - received Foreign Interference reports yearly - 2006 - 2015. During this time /1
Harper ignored all reports by CSIS, there was no inquiry, there was no investigation, in fact this happened:

/2
According to Byrne, who still blames the current government for past problems that they the CPC did nothing about:



/3
In fact, Harper instead gave China a 31 year trade deal - FIPA that helps China more than it helps Canada. The worst things about this deal - it was signed in Russia - Harper cozied up to the Chinese govt and gave China full access to Canadian investments which threatens /4
our sovereignty. /5

Try doing a search online for foreign election interference under Stephen Harper - 2006 - 2015. I can't find anything online. So tell me why it was never important then, but it is important now? The same issues that happen in each govt are never a problem, until it happens /6
in the Liberal government. It is all about perception of wrong doing. But, the current government has been working on making changes and adding policies, security measures, that the previous government did not do. Why isn't this being reported? See next tweet.

/7
The following were brought forward in the House of Commons re Foreign Election Interference - they were all voted against by the Conservative Government:

**NSICOP (2018)
**NSIRA (2019)
**RRM Canada (2019)
**Bill C76 (2018)

Votes here: ourcommons.ca/members/en/vot…

Full list of measures, policies and protocols put in place under the current government: /9
"Every government [was] informed at one point or another. Every government chose to ignore CSIS warnings either by negligence, self-interest or partisanship." /10

Former parliamentary correspondent, Mark Bourrie, recounts his *first hand* experience of foreign interference and Harper's neglect to do anything about it. #cdnpoli /11

Creation of NSICOP Bill C-22 - 2017 /12 - An Act to establish the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.

Conservatives voted no to create this for Canada's National Security:

Creation of NSIRA Bill C-59 - 2019 / 13 - An Act respecting national security matters.

Conservatives voted no to create this for Canada's National Security:

Bill C-76 as noted above in tweet thread is for Canada's G7 Rapid Response Mechanism - The G7 Rapid Response Mechanism (G7 RRM) strengthens G7 coordination to identify and respond to foreign threats to democracies. /14

I did a little digging about the so called affordable housing under Stephen Harper and what I found was a lot of talk and little to no action, with very little funding as well.

Copied from article:
Stephen Harper's government has ignored repeated provincial requests to /1 Image
/2 meet on how to fund a much-needed affordable housing initiative.
Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS

What if someone promises to do something important, then not only does not do it, but fails even to talk to you about it?
In its March budget, the federal government
/3 committed to renew its Investment in Affordable Housing Program at $253 million per year over five years to be matched by provincial and territorial governments, bringing the annual total for new social and affordable housing to $506 million.

Premiers meet in Halifax to discuss how they are blaming the Fed govt for their own failures, let's recap: (thread)

Healthcare Premiers screaming about the failing healthcare system, all the while knowing that Canada spends the most $$ in the G20 for Universal Healthcare /1 Image
/2 Healthcare funding received from the Federal govt was NOT going towards healthcare - the Premiers used the funds for other projects or to bring down their deficits - which in turn caused failures within the healthcare system across Canada, thread here

/3 Housing - the Premiers in Canada for over 30 years stopped funding Affordable Housing and now blame the current PM who has been fixing the problem that occurred under other governments, my thread here:

Conservatives are spreading a lie that Heat Pumps do not work in the cold -- this is FALSE.

Heat pump technology is efficient, cost effective and environmentally sound, but can a heat pump system perform reliably at sub-freezing temperatures?

Yes — contrary to popular /1
/2 misconception, heat pumps are a practical option in cold climates. In fact, according to recent research from the Regulatory Assistance Project, heat pumps function more efficiently than conventional fossil-fuel heating systems in cold climates.

Link: blocpower.io/posts/cold-cli…
/3 Conservatives are also stating that heat pumps won't work if the power goes out, I don't know how to say this but when the power goes out, YOU DO NOT HAVE POWER FOR ANYTHING, INCLUDING A FURNACE. Seriously, did I have to really explain that???
