When people tell you what they stand for, believe them.

The Conservatives are accelerating their efforts to re-open the abortion debate in Canada.

@PierrePoilievre has moved up debate on Conservative Bill C-311, paving the way to granting legal status to a fetus.

THREAD👇 The dogwhistles are everywhere…

Conservative MPs spoke of "pre-born" children.

They spoke of the "legal voids" caused by the "lack of abortion laws in Canada".

In the 1930s, the Jewish population in Europe was almost 10 million.

By 1945, 60% had been murdered, decimating communities that had lived there for centuries.

This is the story of the #Holocaust.

#InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay Jewish communities in Poland date back at least 1,000 years.

3.5 million Jews lived in Poland before the war.

Over 3 million were murdered by the Nazis.

Today, only a few thousands remain.

Dans les années 1930, la population juive d'Europe comptait près de 10 millions de personnes.

En 1945, 60 % d'entre eux avaient été assassinés, décimant ainsi des communautés entières qui vivaient là depuis des siècles.

C'est l'histoire de l'#Holocauste. Les communautés juives en Pologne remontent à plus de 1000 ans.

3,5 millions de Juifs vivaient en Pologne avant la guerre.

Plus de 3 millions d'entre eux furent assassinés par les nazis.

Aujourd'hui, il n'en reste que quelques milliers.

Some issues are so big that they point straight to who we are and what we value as a society. There are some that are personal, personal to our lives or to our community.

Gun control, for me, is all of these things. On a cold December evening in 1989, a military-style gun was used in a shooting that changed us all.

Today, our government banned the Ruger Mini-14, the gun used in the @polymtl massacre.

Today, we made over 1,500 military-style assault weapons models illegal. Full stop.
