You all know who Melissa Lantsman is? She's Poilievre's Deputy PM Shadow Cabinet Minister. She's the one who got the 'empty shelves' lie off to a roaring start by tweeting a pic of empty store shelves, claiming it was Canada and the truckers were on strike against vaccines. 1/5 It was a lie. False. Disinformation. It was a pic from the UK a few years old. And most truckers remained hard at work delivering food to us across this land. But Poilievre must have admired her for it because when he became leader of the party, he PROMOTED her to the top. 2/5

PM Justin Trudeau has stood against Putin's illegal invasion.
He has stood against Xi Jinping's bullying.
He has condemned Modi's anti-democratic attacks on Canadians.
He respects the rule of law of the ICC of which Canada is a founding member.
He condemned the 1/4 so called 'freedom convoy' as they ransacked Ottawa and shut essential border crossings.
He is the longest serving G7 leader, a senior leader of the G20.
He understands many of our essential trade agreements require we have a price on carbon.2/4

Just because... Poilievre had flags made saying 'Poilievre for PM' when the Convoy rolled into Ottawa while Erin O'Toole was still CPC Leader -
Just because he ordered that all Convoy related emails be copied to him -
Just because Interim leader Bergen said 1/ 5 'we should keep the Convoy in Ottawa to make it the PM's problem -
Just because Poilievre paid the legal fees of the woman who made claims against Patrick Brown that got him kicked out of the leadership race -
Just because CSIS states that India/China interfered in a CPC 2/5

GAMES POILIEVRE PLAYS:
In the House of Commons Poilievre has his favorite little tricks.
#1 He will stand up and demand that the PM answer the question and ask, all outraged why he won't answer when IN FACT he clearly knows the PM is not there. He knows camera can't show that 1/5 #2 Poilievre will stand and bluster and ask a question and then very quickly gather up his papers and flee the room before the Cabinet Minister involved can reply. He has his video sound bite and that's all he wanted. 2/5

Sometimes before moving Forward, it is wise to have a look back. Today let's look at Pierre Poilievre's biggest moment of his 20 years as an MP - his so called 'Fair Elections Act' - which was in fact the antithesis of 'fair'. But it certainly reveals the real Poilievre. 1/6 Poilievre was 70 weeks late tabling his Bill. Then 24 hours later he cut off democratic debate about it in the House of Commons. The Following day Harper shut down the debate. 2/6

Oh the Drama! Well, Melodrama anyway. A midnight D Movie. After being shocked into silence for 2 days wondering what to do, CPC have come out with the most grandstanding, performative pearl clutching, handbag swinging FAUX outrage we've seen in some time. Question is 'Why?' 1/5 They KNOW perfectly well that the Government currently is NOT in a position to name names. No one has been accused of a crime. There are suspicions. There is no evidence. So The Curtain Rises, the Show begins. "Why won't Government name them? What is the Government hiding?" 2/5

You got this? News that Pierre Poilievre's top Assistant/title unclear, Jenni Byrne owns a Lobbyist Company hits the news. Poilievre writes a hard hitting piece for National Post condemning Lobbyists. Not Jenni, don't be ridiculous. But 'lobbyists'. Loblaws is a customer of 1/5 Jenni's company but whatever. Next we learn that Poilievre MANY TIMES has held elite fundraisers in expensive private homes and on Bay Street with Lobbyists as his personal guests. At the same time he is condemning the 'elites, the lobbyists' and trying to claim he works for 2/5

I want you to imagine a jigsaw puzzle. It took a long time to complete but it is finished. Look at it. It's an image of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, enshrined within our Constitution. 1/5 It is what now guides our Supreme Court of Canada in every decision they make. 9 wise, educated, experienced Justices making the ultimate decisions about what constitutes LEGAL laws in Canada. Not one man or woman. NINE highly qualified Justices. 2/5

This Clear and Present Danger to our Canadian Democracy: 1/4
cbc.ca/news/politics/… Charter of Rights and Freedoms enshrined in our Constitution in 1982. Harper loathed it because our Supreme Court is bound to make decisions based on what it prescribes. Going back to 'pre-Charter' time would get rid of a lot of annoying 'values'. All that would take would be 2/4

A visit to the Conservative Party of Canada Constitution website:
As a very young man, Poilievre said the worst thing about Canada was its 'welfare state'. He hasn't changed his opinion one iota. His 20 year track record voting AGAINST support programs demonstrates this. 1/7 Anyone who thinks he is going to help the poor, the hungry, the unhoused, the disabled, the ill... needs to understand that such aid is against his basic beliefs. On to the CPC Constitution as currently written. It takes very little reading between the lines to prove this 2/7

Pierre Poilievre's not so good very bad day: He rose in HOC and declared a 'terrorist attack' in what turned out to be a car accident and tried to use it to attack PM Trudeau. He very falsely claimed Trudeau 'forcing Ukraine to have a Carbon Tax' when Ukraine already has one... as required to join the EU. And then, Strike #3, it was revealed Conservative Senators were, with considerable evidence, being accused of 'physical and verbal threats, bullying and harassment' a non-Conservative Senator. Andrew Scheer also involved.

Time for some straight FACTS about the 3 year pause on Carbon 'Tax' on Heating Oil:
Fact 1: The pause on the Carbon Tax is NOT exclusive to the Maritime Provinces but applies in all jurisdictions where the federal fuel charge is in effect to those heating with oil across Canada. Fact 1 Link to article:

CPC MPs seem to have devoted today to ethics problems in the Liberal Party. Okay, #1 Minister NG made a serious error in not recusing herself re 2 smallish contracts. However this pearl clutching outrage being expressed by CPC is over the top and in fact, farcial considering... the records of their own party when they were in power for about 9 years. Harper brought in the Ethics Commissioner in 2007. After that time 8 of his MPs faced ethics violations, 5 were found guilty. This doesn't bring into account the number of times the CPC was found guilty...

Why is Chinese Premier really mad at Canada's PM Trudeau? Trudeau's 12 day trip itinerary has some answers. Aside from the G20 meeting, every meeting, every country he's visiting has had to do with increasing Asia-Pacific Trade and reducing reliance on trade with China.... PM Trudeau is working. For CANADA.

RANT: Some people tell me I should be calling out the Liberal Government/Trudeau at times. Why? In case you've not noticed, almost all so-called Canadian press support the CPC during every election (and in between them). Why should I do their work for them? ... Why should I assist Poilievre/CPC in their endless exaggerations, deceptions and outright lies about PM Trudeau when they're at it 24/7. They don't need my help. Why shouldn't I focus on pushing back on such things as 'JustInflation' when we all know inflation is global...

On Pierre Poilievre's Campaign website Pt 2: (Pt 1 Here:

The #1 item listed is 'JUSTINFLATION'. There are a lot of words but no details on how to solve inflation in Canada... Well, there is this: "We need to return to fiscal responsibility and STOP #JustinFlation!"
Who keeps criticizing 'Trudeau' for spending too much? Poilievre. Who now keeps demanding Trudeau spend to help those suffering from inflation? Points if you guessed Poilievre.😏

On Pierre Poilievre's campaign website, he lists 4 priorities. #2 is 'RECLAIM CANADIAN VALUES'. Quote: "We need to get back to the basics. It’s time to stand up for fundamental Canadian values and protect Canadians’ freedom of speech and belief."
The question becomes... how far back does Poilievre want to take us to return to so called 'Fundamental Canadian Values'. A hint is found in his use of 'freedom of speech', an American term, whereas in Canada we have 'Freedom of Expression'.
I'm sure he doesn't want to go all the way back to the time...

Warren Kinsella writing about P Poilievre in May:
For Pierre Poilievre, the frontrunner in the Conservative Party leadership race, the return of the abortion debate is very, very unhelpful. For years, the Ottawa-area MP has enjoyed the support of the Campaign Life Coalition... the powerful lobby group that wants to outlaw abortion, gay marriage and euthanasia.
On its web site, the Campaign Life Coalition gave approving green check marks to Poilievre for voting for bills that would make it an offence to “kill or injure a pre-born child” — and to...

How persistent, constant encouragement of Hate can win over a country: Following is a quote from Jewish Warsaw diarist Chaim Kaplan, from within the book 'Hitler's Willing Executioners - Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust'. While I do not intend this to be a direct comparison between parties/supporters in Canada, the level of Hate being constantly promoted based primarily on False information does begin to compare. This quote will take a number of tweets, but please read all of them.

During the Jan 6th attack on Democracy, Trump did not call for help, he encouraged the attackers, we hear him praise them in the video played.
During the illegal truck convoy occupation, Bergen, leader of CPC encouraged MPs to 'keep the truckers in Ottawa', in an email read ... ... out live by David Cochrane P&P as he received it. 'shouldn't we keep them them in Ottawa because it will hurt the PM'.
There is a difference in the level of harm between the two situations but - no difference at all between Bergen and Trump in what they were prepared to do.,,
