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

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?

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!

CSIS' *illegal* leak Fife & Chase wrote about in the Globe was released the same day as Justice Roleau's report vindicating the LIBs for the hammer they brought down on the #FreedomConvoy!

It is a major clickbait distraction based on China's bragadocious lies. #cdnpoli The lie about re-electing a minority Gov means LIBs needed to win 140-165 seats & no more than 170 or less than 140!

How did China convince Quebec to elect the BLOC instead of PMJT?

LIBs accepting "undisclosed cash donations"? Political suicide & a LIE!

Great thread 🔥

Claiming China had "a sophisticated strategy" to *specifically* get a LIB minority as Fife did is patently absurd.

CSIS illegally leaked “top secret” material to a highly partisan Conservative journalist. For political purposes?

#cdnpoli
threadreaderapp.com/thread/1627903… One of Fife's other claims in the Globe article as to how China interferes is that "undeclared cash donations" are given to political candidates or international Chinese students can "volunteer"! The problem is cash over $20 is not allowed.

Is that a CSIS error or a FIFE error? Image
