As of today, conversion therapy practices are ILLEGAL in Canada. Our Liberal government's bill to completely ban these practices is now in force.

Despite MPs & senators working together to pass the bill, Conservative MPs now say they oppose its quick passage & want to weaken it. What's clear is that Erin O'Toole wanted the bill to pass quickly without debate - he knows how many of his MPs are opposed to banning conversion practices.
Over half of his caucus in the last Parliament voted against the bill, a handful of them didn't get re-elected.

1/ 🧵 Hier, Erin O'Toole a tenté d'induire les Canadiens en erreur au sujet de son plan pour abroger l'interdiction libérale des armes d'assaut et annuler la vérification obligatoire des antécédents (C-71).

Il est temps d'exposer les faits.

⬇️ 2/ O’Toole est redevable au lobby des armes à feu. Ce même lobby l’a aidé à gagner son leadership, comme l'a souligné la candidate conservatrice Michelle Rempel Garner. Les lobbyistes font activement campagne pour les conservateurs.

1/ 🧵 Yesterday, Erin O’Toole tried to mislead Canadians about his plan to rip up the Liberal ban on assault weapons and repeal mandatory background checks (C-71), it is time to lay out the facts:

⬇️ 2/ O’Toole is beholden to the American-style gun lobby here in Canada. They won him his leadership, as Conservative candidate Michelle Rempel Garner pointed out, and have been actively campaigning for the Conservatives.

6 Jummah Prayers. 4 masjids. 1 amazing community.

I want to thank Milton’s Muslim communities for inviting me to speak today at Friday Prayers. I’m proud to be a Liberal, a party that has taken concrete action against Islamophobia, and has committed to more focused effort.

1/4 We were the government that:

✅Launched Canada’s Anti-Racism Strategy
✅Hosted a National Summit on Islamophobia
✅Provided funding for communities at risk of hate-motivated crime to enhance security at places of worships

But there’s a lot more work to do.

What we saw last week in Washington was truly shocking. But we can’t sit up here in Canada and pretend that our country is immune from the racist and hate-filled beliefs that led to these horrifying events. (1/5) Sadly, some politicians, like Erin O'Toole, fan these flames by engaging with organizations like The Rebel.

In 2019, Mr. O'Toole promised that he’d stopped talking with The Rebel since they aren't "a serious news source." I agree!

So when did he decide they had become one?
