In 2013, I had enough $ to put down for a #vanre detached home. Had I done that, I'd be able to cash out around $1.2M tax free and retire.

Instead, I launched a start up, created a bunch of jobs, paid taxes, and contributed to the economy.

Thread 🧵

#cdnpoli #vanre While many companies imported cheap labour or offshored work, I hired and trained kids straight out of universities and colleges. I gave many their first job, and many have gone on to do great things. I'm incredibly proud of that.

But what has been my reward?

"Canadians were more likely to have a positive outlook on Canada's prospects for immigrants than the immigrants themselves."

If I, as an immigrant, raise concerns about Canada's ill-treatment of immigrants, I get called anti-immigrant.

"Just 29 per cent of immigrants with university degrees agreeing that immigrants are paid fair wages based on their work experience."

There are statistics that back this up.

Corporate dentistry. It's as horrible as it sounds. Hedge funds have been buying up dental practices looking for a 15% RoI.

For example, Dental Corporation of Canada owns 350 clinics Canada-wide.

PM @JustinTrudeau and @liberal_party fully support @CI2100's plan to treble Canada's population to 100M in the coming decades.

This means Canada that instead of reducing CO₂ emissions, Canada will contribute to vastly increasing in GHG emissions.

#cdnpoli @JustinTrudeau @liberal_party @CI2100 @CI2100 founders include a whole bunch of current and former corporate heads, including directors of hedge funds like BlackRock.

Another founder is Dominic Barton. Yes, that Dominic Barton.

It's easy to guess what @CI2100's intentions are.

Mobility pricing is in Metro Vancouver, where workers have been forced out to the valley by #vanre greed with very limited public transit options, has 2 aims:

1. Keep the riffraff off the roads so the rich can enjoy a smooth ride from their suburban mansions to the core #vanpoli 2. Turn roads from public infrastructure to a "transport market" that can then be easily privatized for profit.

But to sell their project, the neoliberals will argue that congestion pricing is the only solution to funding better transit.

#vanpoli

A developer forced them out of their building. Three years later, nearly half are dead.

@CityofVancouver has allowed #vanre devs to throw thousands of vulnerable tenants on to the streets to make way for empty condos.

How many are dead today?

#vanpoli

knkx.org/south-sound/20… @CityofVancouver Remember how @JonStovell evicted a whole bunch of vulnerable tenants at Berkeley Tower?

PM @JustinTrudeau's proposed changes to Canadian Human Rights Act will effectively end free expression in Canada.

The Orwellian bill defines “hate speech” as communication that expresses *detestation or vilification* identifiable groups.

Why is this scary? Read on.

#cdnpoli @JustinTrudeau @scoopercooper revealed that Chinese Communist Party agents soaked up Canada's PPE supply and sent it to China at the beginning of the pandemic. A group working out of Minister @JoyceMurray's office launched a campaign to silence Cooper claiming Cooper vilified Chinese Canadians.

Imagine a disease that wrecks every organ in your body from the brain to the kidneys after reducing your lungs to shards of glass. Such a diseases exists. It's called #COVID19.

“Its ferocity is breathtaking and humbling.”

science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64… Not only does #COVID19 attack every organ in your body, it attacks the blood itself. These blood clots can end up blocking arteries in the lungs, killing the patient. They can end up in the brain, causing a stroke.

1. Why did Canada buy TransMountain pipeline?
2. Why can't we ban Huawei?
3. Why does Canada need to compensate Chinese companies for #COVID19 losses?

Answer to all 3 questions: #FIPA, the trade agreement with China that @stephenharper signed.

#cdnpoli

thinkpol.ca/2020/04/20/can… FIPA, ratified in 2014, was negotiated by Harper government. It was passed without a vote in Parliament. Fipa, which remains in place until 2045, was signed to ensure that China got a pipeline built from Alberta to BC, among other benefits.
