I live in Victoria, British Columbia, where Justin Trudeau is also the Prime Minister.
We have provincial rent control.
My monthly rent has increased a grand total of $30 in three years.
So just maybe it isn't a "Trudeau Thing"...
I dunno. This cosplaying rodeo clown doesn't represent my "Canadian values", or "common sense" in general.
Axe the tax in favour of what? Nothing? No climate policy?
Is that gonna fly with our trading partners?
HINT: It will not.
Don't drink the Kool-Aid folks.
BREAKING:
🚨🚨🚨🚨
•Today, on April 1, gas prices in 🇨🇦 continue to be the third lowest in the G7.
• Inflation rate in 🇨🇦 is currently second lowest in the G7.
•Also, the only "coalition" driving up food prices is the Poilievre/Loblaws coalition.

#FireTheLiar
Canadians will queue for half an hour to save $2 on a tank of gas, but can't be arsed to vote every four years.
Then they wear a poppy every November to thank the war dead for preserving the freedoms they can't be bothered to exercise.
Mind boggling.
On behalf of millions of Canadians who have never worn 'blackface', I'd like to confirm I find
@LeslynLewis
vile and intolerant.
You just knowingly welcomed one of the repulsive politicians on the planet, Leslyn.
So nah...
You don't get to go on the offensive with very old news.
Wake up Canada 🇨🇦.
Remember how sick and drained we were of this Machiavellian monster in 2015?
Well in the 8 years since, he's been hanging out with Batman villains, meddling with democracies around the globe, and plotting his return.
A Poilievre government is a return to Harper
It bears repeating that while
@CandiceBergenMP
was rolling dimes in a strip mall somewhere in Ontario, these two accomplished senior cabinet members were attending Oxford University.
So Trudeau is running a "dictatorship" in a minority Parliament, but Ford overriding the Constitution for the first time in history is...democracy? Okay then...
Dear "Working People":
Pierre wanted to deny you CERB benefits in a pandemic. Many would have lost homes, or been unable to pay rent.
He plans to "support" you by denying you affordable childcare. He also wants to privatize health care and defund the CPP, so you won't get yours.
When Fort McMurray burned, British Columbians rallied to help. Now that BC is drowning, Alberta Premier
@jkenney
is tweeting about pick-up trucks to own the Libs.
As the French say, "Je me souviens."
🚨Dear "Working People":🚨
The last time Pierre Poilievre was in power, he tried to steal two years of your retirement by raising the age if to 67.
He'll underfund healthcare, and cancel daycare and dental programs that will increase your costs by 1000s. He ain't your friend.
The National Post, and Postmedia in general, should be part of the investigation into foreign influence in Canadian politics.
Pierre Poilievre is the LAST person capable of "Uniting Canada". He is the most polarizing politician I've ever seen in this country.
"Polievre did not agree to an interview on the matter."
FINALLY, the 'Charlatan from Carleton' gets called out by somebody in the media.
The turtles are finally flying...
Bexte is one of the most toxic purveyors of misinformation and lies on
#cdnpoli
Twitter.
And look how chuffed patriarch Stephen Harper is to be seen with him.
Conservatives aren't even trying to hide who they are.
"Dear Mr. Poilievre:
In light of your opposition to renovating 24 Sussex Drive, will you commit to vacating Stornoway forthwith to provide the current elected Prime Minister with a proper place to live, and to receive visiting heads of state?
YES or NO?"
The interesting part about the Kleenex Scandal of 2023 is that Mike Roman, Harper's righthand man at the IDU, and an active participant of the Ottawa Convoy Insurrection, has been charged with trying to steal the US Presidential election. Not enough people are talking about that
"Crime & chaos, drugs & disorder.

We have problems in 🇨🇦, but this guy is selling nonsense.
What 🇨🇦 Conservatives SHOULD be saying instead:
"We do not believe Liberal policies are in the best interests of Canadians. Here's why, here's what we'd specifically do differently, here's how it will affect you, and here's how we'll pay for it."
Instead, we get rage farming.
After weeks of Conservatives, and Pierre Poilievre, bellowing for a government-imposed settlement, BC's port strike has come to an amicable end through NEGOTIATION.
75% of union members voted in favour.
This is what happens when the adults are in charge.
The IDU guy?
The guy that supported Orbán, Bolsonaro, Trump, and Netanyahu?
The guy Canadians fired?
Stephen Harper doesn't know what's best for Canada, and he doesn't care.
It should be noted that Canada's Official Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is also a lobbyist - for the IDU.
The "International Democratic Union" (sic) is a global far-right organization run by Stephen Harper, and is literally funded by Batman villians.

In reality,

, the CBC is not "government-funded media" - it is funded by taxpayers, and operates independently of whichever federal party happens to be in power in the moment.
Facts matter.
What Netanyahu and his fascist, extreme-right allies are trying to do in Israel right now is terrifying and abhorrent. Thankfully, tens of thousands of Israelis are taking to the streets to protest against the rise of authoritarianism there and to help protect democracy. 🧵
Wut?
Wasn't the whole point of the convoy to blame Trudeau for this?
Wasn't that why local residents suffered, and the economy lost billions due to blockades?
Now your sticking your pigeon chest out at Biden?
HE LAUGHED AT YOU.
Hey, freedumb lovers. That "tax"

Attempted to subvert the democratic will of Canadians by fomenting a coup is a very serious offense, with very real consequences. Failing to grasp such a basic concept is a "Tamara problem". Of course,the video below is a fundraiser, because its always been about the grift...
This "common people" talking point, in reference to the majority of Canadians, is condescending as fuck.
Marie Antoinette vibes from a guy who's never had a job not funded by taxpayers...(you know, the "common people").
Get stuffed, Pierre.

A severe drought worsens in Alberta, and temperatures hit 18.2C in Abbotsford, BC.
In JANUARY.
In a few months, the climate change-denying, anti-government libertarian crowd with the "F🇨🇦ck Trudeau" stickers on their monster trucks will be demanding federal disaster relief.
Don't look now, but other countries (not run by Trudeau) have insane housing shortages - like all of Europe, including countries with conservative governments. An increase in the percent of the housing stock owned by "investors" is a common theme.
Pierre Poilievre has the same relationship with the "working class" as Donald Trump: fraudulent.
They're his mark.
Neither one has ever worn "work boots".
Ever.

@WestJet
:
Canadians look forward to your announcement the employees that allowed this terrorist-supporting idiot to do this have been fired.
I guarantee you if I had been on that plane he wouldn't have got through the first sentence.
#BoycottWestjet
I flew from BC to Ontario on Monday. The plane was about 90 percent full. At no point, on either end, was I asked about my vaccination status or for a negative COVID test. Not by the airline. Not by any airport staff. Not by security.
That seems unnecessarily reckless to me. You?
Remember when Conservatives claimed cannabis legalization would make Canada resemble a zombie apocalypse? And all that happened was a cleaner supply, thousands of jobs, and millions of taxes collected?

What a 🇨🇦 CPC government could look like:
PART 1/4
PM Pierre Poilievre:
•Caught cheating by Elections Canada
•Imbedded misogynistic
#MGTOW
hashtag in videos for YEARS
•Called First Nations "lazy"
•Encouraged blockades that cost billions
•Calls Jordan Peterson a genius👇
Pride Event 🏳️🌈 in Victoria a block from my house.
As a random straight white dude I had a blast.
So many smiles on the faces of people simply celebrating their common humanity - differences or similarities.
Entirely absent?
Divisive speech.
REMINDER:
Candidate-for-Prime-Minister Pierre Poilievre, and his advisor and psychologist Jordan Peterson, have a very low opinion of the intelligence of Canadians (especially if you're female, and a Cabinet Minister).
Excuse me, my guy, but you LITERALLY work for a foreign company, with dark investors, whose MISSION it is to interfere in Canadian politics and elections.
STFU.
@brianlilley
Pierre Poilievre will be shocked to discover he can't stuff boxes of ballots into his supporters' minivans on federal election day, or have his opponents disqualified.
You think Trudeau's trip to India was "embarrassing"?
Wait until we get:
▪︎Minister of Foreign Affairs Michael Cooper
▪︎Minister of International Trade Pierre Poilievre
▪︎Minister of Health Michelle Rempel, and
▪︎Minister of Environment and Climate Change Candace Bergen
Just a reminder this will be the sixth major election in Canada since the beginning of COVID. It's not a "Fourth Wave" that keeps
@erinotoole

Canadian journalists, THIS is how you ask relevant and pointed questions, and not accept evasion non-answers. Watch as Global BC's excellent

@erinotoole

Stephen Harper is Canada's equivalent to Dick Cheney.
He wields power behind the scenes, obscures his evil agenda in bland bureaucratese, and is intelligent in a Ted Bundy sort of way. And he knows how government functions. We are still fighting Harper.
From a selfish economic perspective, I'd probably "benefit" from a Poilievre government.
But I'd rather drink Rex Murphy's bathwater than see one happen.
Why?
How we treat our most vulnerable defines us.
And we are all one life event away from trouble.

The last time inflation was this high was in 2011, at the height of Herr Harper's reign.
@erinotoole

"WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT SOCIAL PROGRAM!"
Um, we live in a world that pays people $13M a year to play hockey. Some CEOs are pocketing ten times that number. We have ample resources, we're just giving them to the wrong people.
"Ethical aluminum"? Okay.
I will say this though:
Nobody has done more for the foil hat industry in Canada than Pierre.
He's a job-creator in that sense...
Good gawd.

You lost a brother you clearly loved. Fair enough. My condolences.
As Mayor, however, Rob Ford was an international embarrassment. That's a fact.
Canada's Conservatives, and their leader

, believe climate change is a hoax. They think the climate will "balance itself".
If we allow them to win, the picture below (Shuswap, currently) will be your children's daily reality.
Wait a minute...you were in Harper's Cabinet when he tried to shut down "Insite" in Vancouver. If you had succeeded, hundreds would have died. So you were either dead wrong then, or lying now. Which is it,
@erinotoole

#HarmReductionWorks
As your Prime Minister, I will treat the opioid epidemic as the health crisis it is. Canadians who are struggling know that a government I lead will be with you, supporting you every step of the way.
