I don’t want a PM who thinks the answer to Canada’s problems is common sense. I want a PM who is innovative, thinks outside of the box, searches the evidence for solutions, collaborates across parties, and works toward the common good. That person isn’t Pierre Poilievre.

I do not know Justin Trudeau, but I have witnessed what he’s done for Canada. I saw him help and encourage Canadians crisis after crisis. I watched him get back up after falling down hard. I saw his head held high through crowds of anger. And I see him working now. He’s not done.

Pierre Poilievre has been elected leader of the Conservative Party. He will not become Prime Minister if you take the time to teach Canadians what he represents, and why it is important to vote. The next election is bigger than Justin Trudeau. It is about the values of Canada.

Pierre Poilievre’s campaign has been weakened by the sudden realization that imaginary friends cannot vote.

Pierre Poilievre will not become Prime Minister because you’re going to work really hard to make sure of it. Right?

Man, I’ve seen all kinds of hate against the Prime Minister for all kinds of reasons. Even during Christmas. And still…I love him. #iStandWithTrudeau #cdnpoli

PM Justin Trudeau is a world leader who has stood the test of time. He has spoken to Canadians with confidence and reassurance throughout great crisis. He has ushered in supports to protect the lives of families and workers. He has taken a stand against threats to our democracy.

The Conservative Party supported the convoy and all the anger and rage that accompanied it. But dislike the anti-Trudeau flags. The Conservative Party votes against dental care, childcare, child benefits, income supports. But are worried about people going to food banks. 1/3

The fault of the occupation is on the occupiers and those who supported them, not the Prime Minister. That’s the tweet. #cdnpoli

When Justin Trudeau is under pressure and scrutiny, that’s usually when we see the very best of the Prime Minister. When Pierre Poilievre is backed into a corner, he lashes out at people who ask him questions. The Conservative Party is not fit to govern. #IStandWithTrudeau

You may not like the financial measures Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland announced to suppress the illegal blockades and occupation. Welcome to the cost of dealing with dangerous people who were given too many chances to go home. That, and her approach is actually merciful. #cdnpoli

The idea that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alone divided Canadian society is almost as ridiculous as the belief that Pierre Poilievre will unite us. Almost. #cdnpoli

Hey Liberals! Over here. Conservatives will not win if you don’t let them win. If you stand with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at this point in time, then you already know why this is a battle worth fighting. Show Canada why you’re proud of this government. #IStandWithTrudeau

Conservatives want people to believe that PM Trudeau divided Canada because he took a stand on key emergency issues, which most Conservatives did not agree with. What they leave out is how many times the PM has spoken unifying words of grace to struggling or frightened Canadians.

Here’s the thing, Conservatives. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t try to court a bunch of Incels on his social media. Your “comparisons” don’t work. Pierre Poilievre has reached a level of low all on his own that stands out amongst the political wreckage. #cdnpoli

Canadians are coming together to defeat Pierre Poilievre’s reckless, far-right crusade. This is the common ground Justin Trudeau wants us to stand on. The Prime Minister knows what is at stake, as do many other Canadians. Keep raising your voice. Be strong. #IStandWithTrudeau

RT if Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau and the @liberal_party have earned your vote. Leave a reason why if you feel strongly about it. #cdnpoli

When people look back on this period, I think they will see that the Prime Minister was a friend to Canada, not an enemy. Who took the brunt of our frustration and devastation from the world changes, but nonetheless kept going, found solutions, and preserved hope. #cdnpoli

What stands in the way of Pierre Poilievre becoming Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau. PM Trudeau will do everything he can to defeat Poilievre. Not for power's sake. But for Canada's sake. And I believe that through it all, the Canadian people will respond affirmatively. #cdnpoli

Don’t trust Pierre Poilievre to tell you who Justin Trudeau is. Look at what the Prime Minister did to help Canadians through the pandemic; grow our economy; protect our climate; advance social justice; preserve national security; and alleviate poverty. And decide for yourself.

It is incredibly important that the Conservative Party is reduced to at least third-party status next federal election. I fully support an NDP official opposition. At least they know when to put aside the partisan rhetoric while our national security is being threatened. #cdnpoli

CERB was one of the boldest actions of any government in our history. When he saw people losing their jobs, @JustinTrudeau stepped up and paid their bills. He took on the debt and political burden. Your income and safety is more important to him than anything. #cdnpoli #Elxn44
