Covid caused high prices globally from a supply chain freeze up. Neither 'Trudeau' or any carbon 'tax' caused it. Trump was elected BECAUSE prices went up and USA doesn't even have a carbon tax. Pierre Poilievre is OBVIOUSLY blatantly LYING to us.
1/4
Covid also gave us a condition providing us a parameter of who are the nastiest, dumbest and most horrid of the human race - those who oppose with fury the greatest invention and saver of lies humankind has ever come up with - vaccines. 2/4
If there really were a God by now he/she'd of caused another flood, wiped these nitwits out and started over again. The rest of us know how to build bigger boats now, we can begin a new world without having to nail anybody to a cross all over again and have a world at peace. 3/4
Then we could end global warming with no conservative political obstacles, provide children needed vaccination and let women look after THEIR OWN BODIES without conservative political interference. But 'God' hasn't done a damn thing in 2,000 years, so don't hold your breath. 4/4

The lies and stupidity behind #PierrePoilievre 'common sense' Conservatism.
First off, it's a RW populist phrase used by the extreme RW in the EU as well;
It suggests 'gut feelings' override data, empirical evidence and scientific findings.
They don't. 1/5
The illusion that gut feelings override reality is what his 'common sense' device is all about. That and making nitwits feel good about themselves; grade 9 chemistry class flunk-outs running amok calling Dr. Tam 'stupid..' Poilievre essentially grooms a cult of stupidity. 2/5
A 'cult' because Poilievre and his Cons use the phrase as a quasi-religious clarion call. And from it we get idiots and their cultist skepticism about vaccines and dumb-ass cults taking over whole cities for weeks on end. So what does Poilievre's 'common sense' REALLY mean? 3/5

THREAD @cbcnews and pseudoscientist @niknanos 'poll tracker shows Erin O'Toole 'ahead' #Elxn44
Is that a joke?
50% of Canadian voters are women.
Sit down, put your feet up, grab a beer, glass of wine; HERE IS HOW Harper and Erin O'Toole treated Canadian women, 2006-2015.
1-
THEY cut abortion funding from maternal health for developing nations; a smack in the face to women and women's rights.
Cut the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (hurting centres that focused on providing support to abused women, such as Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal)
2-
THEY CUT from the Association féminine d’éducation et d’action sociale (AFEAS), the Canadian Child Care Federation, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, and the Child Care Resource and Research Unit.
3-
14 Reasons Erin O'Toole Conservatives (Harper Redux top to bottom) are BAD for Canada;
1. Contempt for Canada
Found guilty found to be in contempt of Canada's parliament, first time in the history of any commonwealth government that this happened. #Elxn44
2. Cheated in the 2006, 2008, 2011 elections
In & Out fraud 2006, followed by campaign overspending fraud, robo-call fraud; in 2011 federal court found willful violation of the $18 million election campaign spending limit which originally brought them to power in 2006. #Elxn44
3. Turned Canada's Surplus into Debt
In 1993 Conservatives chalked up a $38 Billion deficit. By 2006 @liberal_party had turned it around into a $16 Billion surplus. Four years later Conservatives returned Canada to a record $56 Billion deficit. #Elxn44
'Conservatism These Days' Thread
First comes the 'populist' salesman who appeals to emotions, not facts. In fact, they tell us facts are fake and cannot be trusted coming from smart people like scientists or teachers, who aren't trustworthy, like a populist pitchman is.
1/
Now tie in some macho-man jingo and nationalist/patriotic short, emotional mumbo-jumbo phrases that endlessly repeat keywords like TAKE BACK, GOD BLESS, I'LL FIGHT for this, that blah blah .. FREE SPEECH, SCHOOL CHOICE, JESUS, FATHERLAND, MOTHERLAND, PAST GREATNESS etc.
2/
While at it's VERY CORE - is the putting of the blame for ones’ target audience's personal, educational, economic and everyday failures on those who have nothing to do with it; those of other colours, of other religions, and on the immigrants, the poor and 'foreigners.'
