🧵1/17 Trump reminded many Canadians that we still care about decency, integrity, kindness, and competence in our leaders. That’s not weakness — it’s called character. And it’s exactly what we need right now. Here’s why I can’t support @PierrePoilievre : 
2/ 📉 REPORT CARD: Pierre Poilievre has never worked outside politics. ZERO real-world job experience. Elected at 24 in 2004 — Parliament Hill is the only job he’s ever had. 20 years in Ottawa, paid by taxpayers — while railing against "government elites."
3/ He plays “just like you” in hoodies & trucks — But he makes $309,700/year, lives in a taxpayer-funded 19-room mansion, has a chauffeur, and racks up over $20,000 a day in expenses. That’s not relatable. That’s elite.
4/ Poilievre quietly built a $19,177/month pension. He can retire at 55. 60% of Canadians don’t even have a workplace pension. But sure — tell us more about “hard work.”
5/ He talks about “accountability” …but billed taxpayers over $7.3 million last year in expenses. That's over $20,000 per day.
6/ During COVID, he VOTED AGAINST: ❌ CERB (support for workers) ❌ Wage subsidies ❌ Small business aid ❌ Rent support
His view? “Let the market correct itself.” Millions would’ve suffered more.

7/ 👷♀️👷♂️ On Working Canadians: He voted AGAINST:
❌ Anti-scab laws
❌ Union protections
❌ Sick leave
❌ Equal pay
❌ Minimum wage
❌ Paid leave during COVID
❌ Public sector fairness
Then called CERB recipients “lazy” — from his mansion.

8/ 🌍 On the environment? No plan.
Just: “Axe the Tax.” He called climate change a “luxury concern.” Attacks renewables. Promotes foreign-owned oil & gas. Wants to roll back Canada’s climate goals as wildfires and floods surge.

9/ 🏛️ On democracy & truth: Blames Trudeau for everything (even things provinces control). Uses disinfo on crime, housing, COVID, immigration. Refuses media questions. Promised to fire the Bank of Canada Governor (illegal)
10/ 🇺🇸 Trump Playbook:
Rage politics
Clickbait slogans
Fear & division
Attacks on media, teachers, experts, immigrants
Flirts with far-right influencers
Endorsed by the Convoy & conspiracy circles

11/ Danielle Smith tried to interfere in the election on his behalf. He stayed silent. Why? Because they’re on the same team. Same tactics. Same threats to our democracy.
12/ He won’t call out Trump — because he’s following his lead. The anger, the slogans, the division — all borrowed from the MAGA playbook. Don’t let the hoodie fool you.
13/ 📋 Poilievre’s “NO” Voting Record:
❌ $10/day childcare
❌ Dental care
❌ Pharmacare
❌ LGBTQ2+ protections
❌ Conversion therapy ban
❌ Indigenous reconciliation
❌ Affordable housing
❌ Rent protections
❌ Veterans support
❌ Equal pay
❌ $10/day childcare
❌ Dental care
❌ Pharmacare
❌ LGBTQ2+ protections
❌ Conversion therapy ban
❌ Indigenous reconciliation
❌ Affordable housing
❌ Rent protections
❌ Veterans support
❌ Equal pay
14/ But a big YES to:
✅ Corporate tax breaks
✅ Austerity cuts
✅ Propping up the wealthy
The working class? Thrown under the bus.

15/ 🚨 This is just the surface. Pierre Poilievre is not a political outsider. He is the system. 20 years inside Ottawa.
No real-world experience.
No solutions.
No vision.
Just division, distortion, and denial.

16/ He doesn’t want to tear down elites. He wants to be one. Same tactics. Same talking points. Same playbook. He’s not fighting the system — he’s campaigning to run it.
17/ 🇨🇦 The Prime Minister we need? Someone with decency, integrity, and real-life experience. Someone who can reimagine our economy — and lead for the majority of Canadians. In my opinion? That’s not Pierre. #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievre #CharacterMatters
