CBC is on Poilievre’s side. I just watched the coverage of his speech to the AFN. No mention of the chiefs who stood up with their backs to Poilievre. Why did
@CBCNews
ignore this?
What's happening? I am at my ON cottage, having driven from BC. Last year, anyone I talked to was still kind of supporting Doug Ford. Not so any more. The knives are out for
@fordnation
. Parents. Grandparents. Ordinary people who don't have grandchildren or children. He's done.
He also completed 2 years of a Masters in Environmental Geography degree, hence his interest and knowledge of climate change. He also scored in the 98th percentile on his LSAT. (His result showed only 2 % of those who wrote the test did better than he). Canada is in good hands.
Why is anyone surprised? PMJT taught Math & French. Then he enrolled in Engineering. Yes, he was asked to substitute for a drama teacher which some people like to select as his job. He has shown us over & over he has high cognitive ability.

So Adrienne Arsenault says,"Justin Trudeau........& Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney". Is it CBC policy to NEVER, unless you are
@Katie___Simpson
who seems to understand respect fo the office, use the PM's official title when referring to him? Help me out
@CBC
--why?
No one has mentioned this: how does Poilievre get around the country? I’ve stopped counting the number of flights he has taken to BC alone. Does he fly commercial? Has some wealthy consortium offered him a private jet? Does he fly 1st class? How many fly w him? WHO IS PAYING?
I had lunch today w a few people whose political affiliation I do not know. I mentioned that I can't make it through
@CBCNews
without turning it off. Why? The "Canada is broken" ad narrated by the slime ball Poilievre comes on. The TV is turned off. Everyone said the same.
I’m not sure why I bothered to check in w CBC today but I did. J.P. Tasker writes about “Conservative leader” Poilievre, “Premier Smith” twice, “Employment Minister” Boissonnault, yet no title for the PM. Just Trudeau, Trudeau, Trudeau. This is ugly, un Canadian and unacceptable.
Such an evil little man. I cannot believe that Canadians would want him in charge of our great country. Can he even say one sentence without lying? If elected, it won’t be Canadian gov’t, it will be “Poilievre govt”. Women’s rights destroyed. He disgusts me on every level.
So why can
@CBC
's
@TravisDanraj
say "Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton". He can also do Leader of the Opposition" and "Premier Ford and Premier Smith". Yet he calls out PM "Trudeau". How can this be acceptable? He needs to be demoted.
I have no allegiance to AB & have never lived there. When I lived in the UK, Canada's education was rated one of top 5 in the world (OECD PISA testing), & within Canada, Alberta's education was rated
#1
. Why is AB messing with an education recognized internationally as 1st class?
I am feeling grateful today because
@RosieBarton
called the PM by his official title: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I can’t remember the last time she said that— well before the election for sure. Long may this last. By not doing this, Cdn media diminishes the office of PM in 🇨🇦
I have several Canadian neices and nephews, in their 20’s and 30’s. I have spoken to 8 out of 10 of them, all voting Liberal. Same answer for all— “we got CERB for as long as we needed it. For that alone he has my vote”. The remaining 2 are in the US now.
Not to take anything away from PM Ardern, but I think it is PM Trudeau who has been true exceptional. We share a 9000 km border with the US, yet Canada has managed both Trump and coronavirus very well. NZ doesn't have to depend on the US for much if anything; we do.
The saddest thing I saw, from Victoria to North Bay, ON ( I drove there & back this summer) were children as young as 5 wearing F…Trudeau T shirts, waving F… Trudeau flags, and when with a group shouting F…Trudeau. The truck they were in often had the same slogans. Kids!!!!
@pvralien
Before Poilievre, we didn't have people screaming obscenities at the PM, flying vulgar F Trudeau flags, throwing stones at him, calling him a dictator, & talking about (& attempting) assassination of the PM. Poilievre has fomented hate toward Trudeau for months. He is unfit
Pierre Poilievre has peaked. That’s the tweet. (When you’ve lost Paul Wells, Andrew Coyne, John Ibbotson and Robert Fife, you are not on your way to the top.) Pierre Poilievre will never be PM.
So disappointed in
@RosieBarton
RBL today. She has done some good work this yr. I looked forward to today's show. RB was disrespectful, rude& constantly interrupted him after he had said just a few words. Your job, Rosie, is to listen. Viewers want 2 hear what he has 2 say, not U
Wow. That is incredible footage. We always knew there was footage to be used against the Conservative Party of Canada. This is who they have become. This film shows the kind of chaos Poilievre has in mind for 🇨🇦. Vote Liberal.
Heather Mallick at The Star on Pierre Poilievre’s makeover: “Now he looks like a man who forgot his glasses and had to assemble a vacation wardrobe after the airline lost his luggage.”
Perfect.
#WomenAgainstPoilievre
This is my favourite tweet of the day.
@CBC
@RosieBarton
. Canadians are angry that you prioritize bullying and shaming an 82 year old woman over democracy ( which would be being served if you were to fact check Poilievre). Well past time to fire Rosemary. She adds nothing.
Twitter asks me what's happening? Well Paul Wells &
@l_stone
both said that the Liberals brought you the Phoenix pay system. No. The Liberal gov't inherited the Phoenix pay mess from Stephen Harper. Why did David Cochrane not call both of them on that?
@PnPCBC
--so sloppy.
My son just received his $2000, less than 48 hours after he applied for it. This government is absolutely genius for being able to implement this so efficiently.
@AHoensbroech
You lost me at “largely filled”. This means that some passengers, who paid good money to fly with Westjet, were subjected to Poilievre’s snake oil salesman drivel. They had no choice but to listen to this.This is Canada, not 1930’s Germany. Those passengers were forced to listen.
This just got the liberal party a $100 donation from me. Let’s flood LPC w cash so we can see more of these killer ads. We already have de Adder posting his anti PP cartoons free, Theo doing the same, & now Chris Wilson’s (22 Minutes) satiric Poilievre sketch which mocks PP.
OK,
@fordnation
, what's your excuse today? You said if only you had enough vaccine, you could do 150 000 doses a day. Yet again, you have failed, with only 72,000 doses in arms today. That leaves 570, 815 doses in freezers. Why can't ON get the job done?
I have never been more convinced that 🇨🇦 will get the leader MSM and pollsters want us to have. There is a tsunami of negative coverage of the LPC, rarely anything positive about how successful 🇨🇦is. MSM & pollsters want 🇨🇦to fail. PP is totally unfit to be PM of a G7 country.
For thse who haven’t seen today’s Globe: the day after President Biden’s 2 day trip to Canada, the Globe’s front page was “In praise of clutter”. Wasn’t one photographer free to take a photo of the Bidens & the Trudeaus at the dinner? Has The Globe gone full anti Dem/LPC?
Why did CBC run the Poilievre ad on housing with no fact correcting? Why did CBC think it was a good idea to give the CPC based on false information? Why have the CBC’s Conservative front man Tasker smugly narrate the story? CBC is desperate to be made redundant by promoting PP.
I'll tell you what is broken. It's the CBC. I turn on the news & get
@TravisDanraj
calling our democratically elected PM "Trudeau" stifling a smirk as he says so, followed by the repellent, loathsome, odious, MAGA, misogynistic Pierre Poilievre telling me "Canada is broken".
Just turned on CBC and saw the angry face of Lisa Raitt. I understand that she has to deal w challenging home circumstances, but maybe she shouldn’t be invited on P&Politics until she can learn to keep her anger & snark at home. Who cares about anything this bitter woman thinks?
It is disrespectful to the PM, the office of PM and all Canadians. Our taxpayer funded national broadcaster thinks it is appropriate to leave out all Liberal party titles. It’s refreshing to hear the BBC say “PM Trudeau”. If they can do it, why can’t we?
After hearing PMJT'a reply, how could you not vote for him in October? He stands for core Canadian values, unlike
@AndrewScheer
who stands with Faith Goldy and the Yellow Vests, both of whom who are anti immigrant and anti diversity. Vote Liberal.
“That is not how we do things in Canada,” said

. What are you all hiding?
I have never seen Poilievre not be nasty, sarcastic or cruel. I have never seen a real smile or laugh. They are always fake, oozing with sarcasm and ridicule. Help me out here. Does one of the greatest countries in the world really want to elect a smarmy pr...k like that?Why?
Every. Single. Time. Guy who threw gravel at PM. Guy who swore obscenities at DPM Freeland. Guy who spit on Liberal MP. ALL friends with Pierre Poilievre who thinks he is the kind of person Canadians want as their PM. The kind our allies will trust w their secrets- nope
Against my better judgement I watched CBC’s aggressive, snarky interview of Minister LeBlanc. Cullen needs to be fired. He remained calm, gave key facts and refused to get drawn into her aggression. She kept trying for the GOTCHA, he remained polite& calm. She looked ridiculous.
@algonquindave
Time to take this tweet down. You know, as we all do, that they were all remotely voting as they were not in the House of Commons. So no narcissistic selfies. They were doing their jobs. Do better. Or keep lying as Conservatives tend to do.
So what's happening
@fordnation
? Having trouble keeping up to the massive supply the federal gov't is giving you? Why do you keep lying to your province? While Ontario has used ONLY 71% of doses delivered, AB is at 94% , Sask 98% and BC 88% . Get a move on! Lives are at risk.
For those of you who wondered who Poilievre’s audience was when he was brazenly holding his head high during the moment of silence in the House of Commons today, my answer is that it was many specific ridings. Kelowna would be one of them.
I would love to see US tourism numbers for those from 🇨🇦specifically. I have a pretty wide social circle and a big family, yet I don’t know anyone who visited the US last year and no one has plans to go there this year. All who owned property have sold. It’s the guns.
He talked about when he was Housing Minister. Harper never had a Housing Minister. Poilievre was never Housing Minister. Yet, like Trump, he brazenly lies to Canadians cause he thinks Canadians are stupid.
The shit that comes out of Pierre Poilievre’s mouth is reaching new levels of absurdity. If you’ve listened to him lately, you know what I mean.
#PierrePoilievreIsAbsurd
Oh boy. Where do I start? When I lived in the UK, Chrystia Freeland was managing editor for the Financial Times, arguably the most prestigious financial paper in the world. Front page, writing about finance, business & economics. Best selling author of biz books.
@KathrynMathias1
I am completely anti-PP, but to be blunt the finance minister lacks any real financial qualifications and doesn’t seem to even have managed to feign a roadmap out of deficit budgets.

Just look at the lack of civility in the House of Commons thanks to the odious Scheer, O’Toole, Bergen and the repugnant Poilievre. They wanted people angry. They love trump. So, yes the world is more Fckd up than usual, thanks to Trump &his 🇨🇦copycats.

Since trump, does the world seem more fckd up than usual to you?
I've noticed there are a lot more rude, selfish, and angry people in real life than ever before.
Courtesy is no longer common.
CBC always says Premier Moe or Premier Kenney & even Leader of the Opposition Andrew Scheer. But when it comes to out Prime Minister, it is generally "Trudeau". David Cochrane and Andrew Chang are pretty good.

I really, really want to know why the cerebral, educated, articulate
@acoyne
wants to see Poilievre as PM. PP has no original ideas, copies everything from Trump, hangs out by choice with RWNJs, courts conspiracy theorists like Alec Jones, does not support Ukraine &has zero class
Just think of the millions of taxpayer funds over 4 years of campaigning. Why aren’t
@acoyne
, Paul Wells, Rex Murphy, Ivison, Ibbitson, Gerson all over this? Where are Mansbridge, Hebert, Raj, Delacourt? Why aren’t they all over this squandering of taxpayer money?
I would like to know the same thing. Who is paying for Pierre Poilievre’s flights across the country? He’s been travelling non stop and the election campaign is less than 2 years away.
Am I the only one who can’t even look at
@theJagmeetSingh
any more? I had such high hopes for him when he was elected. The NDP really needs to get rid of him. Young people ( now totally screwed by him) will never stand with him. Dump the Conservative and get a real NDPer.
He's lost the script. The Liberal government was trying to get $ into the hands of students (not to mention resume-worthy experiences). At this point, Mr. Singh is literally blocking support to students.
What do Doug Ford and Jason Kenney have in common? They're both Conservative, have high school educations, were born and raised in Ontario, and suck at managing Covid, education, healthcare and the environment. Who is the worst? A tie?
@DavidColetto
Seems that this generation is interested in a planet that will sustain life, rights like protesting for their political beliefs, & a woman’s control over her own body. They might appreciate $20/day childcare, dental care and pharmacare. Also decent pensions for their aging folks.
I am no Nicki Ashton fan, but J. P. Tasker, PP’s biggest cheerleader, said he was “outraged” by her $17k Christmas spend. Why has he said NOTHING about Poilievre’s expenses, over $1M since he became leader. How has he spent it? Campaigning non- stop across the country.
@JPTasker
Bravo. This is how it’s done: Ford, Moe, Smith. You work for the people, not against their best interests. We are so lucky to have Premier Eby in BC, as is Manitoba with Premier Kinew.
BC’s beautiful landscape is a source of food, water, clean air, climate stability & economic opportunities for everyone. We’re partnering with the federal govt & First Nations in a $1 billion agreement to protect our environment today so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
You will notice that those same people who find that Ana is fair game are the same people who ignored Mrs. O’Toole, Mrs. Scheer & Laureen Harper. Why? Because none of them publicly accused the PM of being a pedophile on social media. They understood the dignity of their position.
We didn’t stockpile masks, testing kits and other materials beforehand. We were slow to respond when the crisis hit, didn’t listen to early warnings, didn’t close the borders in time, didn’t ramp up testing until too late and on and on.
Does Poilievre have a smile that could not be classified as a smirk? Each time he tries to smile or laugh, all I see is something oozing with sarcasm. Truly, who would want this man as PM of our great country?
The NDP lost my annual donation because of Jagmeet Singh's disrespect of the office of PM. He has never called our PM "Prime Minister Trudeau". It is always Justin or Justin Trudeau. NDP slipping federally every week. Why --JS!
Anyone else picking up a mocking tone by CBC towards the gov’t? It was clearly on show during At Issue, led by the gleeful, LPC loathing
@RosieBarton
. David Cochrane on Friday. Karina Roman today. We truly will get the gov’t our media wants. How is that working out, ON?
She said some vile, disgusting things about Sophie on Twitter as well. Anaida is as toxic as her husband. She has thrown herself into the ring, looking for a fight. All the gloves are off now. She is asking for pushback by using Trump tactics in Canada. Zero dignity or class.
@EScrimshaw
I agree most people should stop their criticisms about PP's wife. It's unseemly. In all fairness, she personally put a target on her own back with this tweet:
Just getting caught up on Poilievre polls. So 77% of women don’t like him. 22% of male and female university graduates would vote for him. Seems to me that his target market is pretty small and shrinking. So he has Jordan Peterson, Rex Murphy, Don Cherry, Doug Ford, CandiceBergen
@CPC_HQ
The reply to this is SO obvious.
If Scheer is elected, he will do to Canada what Ford is doing to ON.
Nepotism. Cronyism. Marginalization of the vulnerable. Lies. Increased spending, yet cuts to services. Privatization. Cuts to education. More lies.
Sounds as though you will be permanently mute when you find out that Andrew Scheer flew his entire family from Regina to Ottawa TWICE this month. Waiting for your response.
@jf576837
Mr Trudeau just announced he will be leaving Rideau Cottage in Ottawa to spend two days with his immediate family at the PM's official retreat at Harrington Lake, Quebec ...speechless
Why was the CBC so willing to show its Conservative bias? Vassy Kapelos was probably the worst, but CBC was virtually unwatchable if all you wanted were the facts re: what was going on with the campaigns. Scheer serial lying: given a complete pass by CBC. JT--always negative.
I would like to see a poll on reactions to Poilievre’s “Canada is Broken ad” that runs repeatedly across many channels. The minute it comes on I now turn the TV off, esp if during CBC’s The National. I used to mute but it took too long to reduce volume & I still heard the whine.
Is it too much to expect
@AshleyBurkeCBC
to call President Biden by his official name? On what basis does she think she should call him “Biden” in her first sentence. Why does
@RosieBarton
refer to “the President” and Justin? Surely it isn’t too much to ask her to say PM?
I have finally blocked Poilievre. Enough is enough. It used to be that hearing that whiney voice would trigger me; now it’s the puffy, pasty death mask of a face. Ugh!
It is extraordinary how hated Poilievre is by women. He’s a bully, a misogynist, an incel supporter. He is so far out of his depth with PM Trudeau. Women journalists— all of them despise his misogynistic treatment of them. Women will not vote for Poilievre
#WomenAgainstPoilievre
At least 60% of Canadians are highly allergic to Pierre Poilievre and his toxic politics. I see no benefit for Westjet in endorsing Pierre Poilievre so publicly. I see only negatives:

Rick Bell needs to never be invited on
@PnPCBC
. When a woman of colour was talking, Bell used his misogynistic manner to try to discredit her ( Sarbit Kaur). Throughout her entire response, Bell nodded his head back and forth. Who else is this obnoxious with women? James Moore.
@redsnoopy69
I will never forget Conrad Black trying to steal pensions from Dominion grocery workers. He defined his character and legacy right then. Everything that came after was just more of the same. PP loves convicted felon MAGA Black. A vote for Pierre is a vote for Trump and Russia.
You just have to look at what is happening in Ontario. Kenney/ Ford/ Scheer best buddies, aiming to make big health care cuts. Ontario losing autism services and at least 25 health clinics. Privatization next. Be careful what you wish for. They're not in it for you.
If a news junkie like me stops watching the CBC, there is a problem. It did not help that I taught critical thinking in a former life. The surfeit of opinion in exchange for facts on CBC, especially
@VassyKapelos
, caused me to flee. I watched it last week with C. Cullen-wonderful
The CBC might start by addressing its untrustworthy news programming and its both-sides misinformation specialty political programs such as Power & Politics.

Charlie Angus has been vicious in his vendetta against the Trudeau family . He knows they are innocent, which is of no interest to him. He wants to make them look guilty. Let's do thesame with Mariah AngusGriffin. Let's learn her name; let's learn who got her her job-nepotism?
People eventually find their own communities. Poilievre has appeared friendless for years, not liked even by those in his own party. Pierre has now found his.His new fan base consists of Elon Musk, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly, Fox News , Mike Roman. No to PM for Canada
I turned on
@PnPCBC
for 10 minutes. First JP Tasker, then a panel including Sachi Kurl and James Moore, all to discuss the Toronto St Paul riding. Why not get a few Liberals on to balance the scales?
Scheer has already started calling our CPP a tax. Wants us to think it's a bad thing that we need to get rid of. Good thing many of us have studied psychology and can see how he is trying to manipulate his base. Next step--CPP's gone.
Could I respectfully suggest that you make a few new Year's resolutions that will make you a better person? First, learn the difference between federal and provincial jurisdiction. Second, fact check everything U want to say. There is way too much misinformation coming from U.
My son just returned from 2 months in France ( Rugby World Cup). He has dual citizenship, having been born in the UK. Over & over again, he was welcomed as a Canadian ( not so much when he mentioned his other citizenship). His words: people like 🇨🇦. They think we’re good guys.
.. always smiled and reminded me of how lucky we are to live in Canada. I also learned that it's okay to have a difference of opinion, frankly having a difference of opinion always brings more to the table, which simply just reinforced the belief that diversity and inclusion ..
The media handed Ford his majority by not reporting on his policies & seem to be doing the same thing with Poilievre. Not sure what’s in it for CBC, for example, to have a CPC Fed gov’t. CBC radio has been leading with bland Poilievre coverage, even on days of his scandals.
@CanadianPolling
@338Canada
I call Horseshit. In one week Pierre called a woman’s home a shack, had the disastrous grocery store debacle with his wife & got caught cheating in the leadership race - but he’s this far ahead?Complete & utter Horseshit. The Convoy Cons gotta cheat to win.PP will never be PM.🇨🇦
The CBC gave Andrew Scheer a pass on all his lies, his affiliation with Yellow Vests and Faith Goldy, his lies about his insurance license, his degree and his US citizenship. The CBC was pro CPC throughout the entire run up to the election. They also supported Jagmeet Singh.
J.P. Tasker is such a jerk. He was on CBC talking about housing. He starts w “Trudeau”, not PM Trudeau. He then moves to “Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre” & “Leader of the New Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh”. I would pay good money to see Tasker’s face with a PMJT win.

Yes they do. Conservatives peddle in lie after lie, our media rarely corrects the lie, the average Canadian then believes the lie, rinse & repeat. It ought to be the job of CBC to present the facts and refute the lies. They don’t. We’ll get the gov’t media & pollsters want.
If the Cons are so good with money, why are they spending millions trying to get PP elected when Cons like James Moore think the Liberals have zero chance of winning next election. If that is true, why the ongoing, Herculean effort to make PP palatable if he already is?
Truly honoured to meet with Prime Minister

I watched CBC News last night. Could not believe that the Scheer school fees / office expenses scandals garnered no air time. Nothing. Just imagine if that had been PMJT. I remember the media frenzy over 2 nannies for PMJT, both justified IMHO.
Funky. What would've happened, had Trudeau pilfered almost a million bucks from donour funding? There would be a media FRENZY. And likely for months. But the media are oddly quiet about Scheer. Especially the Cbc. Pro Scheer. Perhaps they received some extra funding? 🤔 🇨🇦
She does not like anyone to disagree with her--ever. By sneakily taping Michael Wernick, she is ironically showing that she is completely devoid of integrity and basic ethics. You just don't tape a conversation without telling the other party especially if you are AG.
I really want the photo op of Sean Fraser debating Poilievre. Side by side or directly across from each other. I’m here for the non stop squirming by Poilievre as he is outclassed by Fraser.
She was polite, she smiled warmly and she slayed the dragon. Men ought to realize that either you are with Freeland, or you will be schooled. There is no other option for any misogyny or rudeness directed at her. She will give you a straight answer and she will be right.
