@Swiftie01 PET Legacy vs what exactly was Harper's Legacy? Scandals? Authoritarian control of his caucus? Cutting over 20,000 federal servants with Draconian cuts while hiring 3,325 spin doctors?

@LailaGoodridge @CPC_HQ @somerspsych More people are dying in AB from toxic drugs so stay in your LANE!

BC hasn't legalized drugs. Stop lying.

Why aren't you listening Ms Goodridge? BC's #SaferSupply program is helping & working while AB's deaths are up!

The toxic drug carnage in AB is Poilievre's & Ms Goodridge's preferred system of care for addicted Canadians yet their toxic drug deaths are way up while BC's are dropping & they want to stop #harmreduction & #SaferSupply? SHAME! threadreaderapp.com/thread/1791570…

I used to respect Chong but since he falsely claimed the faux scandal with JWR was a constitutional crisis, no more.

His Senate claim belongs to the Harper era that he served in!

I would truly like to know how moderate Conservatives are so easily radicalized?

#cdnpoli The Senate renewal by the LPC was about fostering "...a less partisan Senate that is more independent...."


An independant arm's length advisory board was tasked with providing nominees & applicants based on "merit-based criteria" (screenshots)!

PM Trudeau vindicated once again.

Will it dominate the news cycle like so many of #PierrePoilievre's LIES or phony scandals cooked up Journalists with anonymous sources, or will it be a 1-day article?

Why are Conservatives allowed to spew such BS without pushback from Journalists? It's not about blanket decriminalizing hard-core drugs. It's the possession of **small** amounts that won't mean an automatic prison sentence for an addict.

#onpoli #bcpoli #cdnpoli #SaferSupply “There is currently no evidence to support a widespread diversion of safe supply drugs to the illicit market in B.C. or Canada.”

Conservatives don't get that our fire season starts earlier, ends later, & burns much more area because of the #ClimateCrisis than in yrs past so what started the fire is irrelevant!

Harper inherited a structural surplus of $13 BILLION & blew thru that b4 the global financial crisis. In order to run a surplus in the LAST YR in office when he created a *made-in-Canada* recession while U.S. was booming, he sold Canadian assets at fire sale prices.

1) CPC DISINFORMATION

In the committee meeting today, Conservatives were intent on re-litigating their 5-yr-old faux #SNC scandal on whether PM Trudeau allegedly obstructed justice by interfering with the Attorney General's refusal to consider a #DPA for SNC-Lavelin
#cdnpoli Image 2) REVEALED today was that the ethics commissioner's RESPONSIBILITY was to STOP their review IMMEDIATELY if they SUSPECTED criminality or criminal intent by PM Trudeau.

Guess what never happened ‽‽‽‽

The Ethics commissioner didn't refer the matter to the RCMP!

on @PnPCBC, Danielle Smith *refused* to name the medical experts she consulted on her Trans policies.

Any bets that the alleged divided medical community she claims exist & who support her draconian policies are outside the scientific consensus?

He will bypass courts & increase sentences but doesn't blame them for lower sentences? 🤦‍♀️

Harper laws FAILED:

Not all of C-69 was unconstitutional. The “designated projects” are!

The law will stand if required amendments to bring it into compliance are enacted.

Harper’s CEAA2012 environmental legislation also included “designated projects” so those were also unconstitutional!
