Social equity & addressing root causes yield better outcomes. Citizens' concerns are valid. Truth & context are crucial. Elected officials must prioritize integrity, transparency, & well-being for all and be accountable. No blind party support. United voices wield power. #Equity

🧵1/17 Trump reminded many Canadians that we still care about decency, integrity, kindness, and competence in our leaders. That’s not weakness — it’s called character. And it’s exactly what we need right now. Here’s why I can’t support @PierrePoilievre :

Pierre Poilievre claims he’s ready to take on Trump—but in nearly 20 years in Parliament, he’s never held a senior cabinet role. No Finance. No Foreign Affairs. No Defence. Just junior posts. Leadership isn’t a slogan—it’s proven experience. #cdnpoli

“There are some places that are never for sale—having met with the owners of Canada, it’s not for sale and won’t be for sale, ever.” PM @MarkJCarney was outstanding today. Proud to be Canadian. #Leadership #ProudCanadian

I don't care what party in out great nation that our Prime Minister represents. This anger has been fueled by elected officials who swear an oath and have a code of conduct, which IMO they have violated. This must not be acceptable to us, the gaslighting and rage farming has

Grab a coffee and read this. It explains exactly where Pierre Poilievre’s ideas come from — the Reform Party, Stockwell Day, and Harper-era ideology. He’s not changing. Canada deserves leaders who grow, not one stuck in the past.

Pierre Poilievre preaches common sense and respect for taxpayers, yet he's dropping $41,303 per month on travel – all on top of his $23,250 monthly salary. Not to mention the taxpayer-funded 19-room mansion and personal chef. That's not even all the costs and more than many

I'm curious if @PierrePoilievre delivered donuts to the committee meetings this week and if he has a shadow minister sitting in on the freedom convoy 2 organizing committee? Thank you to the 99% of truckers who stayed on the road delivering goods and didn't try to overthrow gov.

If you're aiming to be Prime Minister or leading an opposition party in Canada, you should be required by law to have the highest security clearance. No delays, no exceptions. Get it immediately. National security isn’t negotiable. You want to lead? Step up and get cleared.

In June 2008, crude oil was $140 per barrel, and regular gas was $1.10 per litre. In October 2022, crude oil is $82 per barrel, and regular fuel is $176.20 per litre. BTW it was $1.57 in Toronto on Saturday. Someone is making money off the backs of struggling families.

Remember, over the last several years, we watched politics in the USA and said to ourselves, I am so happy I live in Canada and New Brunswick, and that will never happen here. Guess what? The politics of disinformation, division, distraction, dysfunction, and disillusion has

If you look south and shake your head at Trump, take a hard pass on @PierrePoilievre . He blocks the CBC, takes Rebel News questions first, and cosplays as a populist while auditioning for autocrat. Same script, different hair. Not worth the risk.

1/ BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre’s campaign is brought to you by the letter “P” — Populism. Performative outrage. Punchy slogans. No policy. Let’s unpack the man behind the memes.
