@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-

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

#cdnpoli #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

'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/

The Kelowna accord was a $5 billion @liberal_party agreement to improve the quality of health and education for Canada's First Nation's Peoples. Stephen Harper and Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party canceled it in 2006, immediately after they took office.
1 of 6. #cdnpoli In 2010, Stephen Harper and Erin O'Toole's Conservatives cut funding for Sisters in Spirit; an internationally praised organization leading investigations into 600+ cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls.

Quick thread here where as National Citizens Coalition President, Stephen Harper (who is idolized by Erin O'Toole) in 1994 speech to American Republicans explains to us all what Canadian Conservative Reform Partyism really is, and I QUOTE.. 1/
'you (American audience) are probably more knowledgeable about Canada than most Canadians.' (denigrates Canadians)

'Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it ' (denigrates Canadian Parliamentary democracy) ..

'

Canada's Conservative Reform Party is and always been based upon promoting a destructive Trickle Down economic system of inequality and prejudice founded on (Straussian) deception, as such it really has no place in today's society. Their real goal is to establish an aristocracy. 2/ And because Canada's Conservative Reform Party goal is aristocracy, economic inequality and regressive taxation are requirements that they use to achieve it. The logical extension is clear; Reform Party Conservatism in Canada is the very antithesis of democracy #cdnpoli
