1/ With a federal election on the horizon🗳️, I'm diving into the last 20+ Years of Legislation (since Poilievre entered HOC).
From bills that passed with royal assent to those that didn't make it past first reading, this thread explores what they tell us about those vying to lead Canada.🍁🧵 #cdnpoli

Relying on 20th century solutions. Come talk to me when you have some real solutions to unleash Canadian energy that doesn’t continue to destroy the planet and sell out future generations. We already can’t afford homes as it is. You’re such a clown. Don’t respond. Just piss off you loser.

Foot the bill. This even after BP disaster in the warm Gulf of Mexico cost over $45 billion. This doesn’t take into account challenges in the Canadian Arctic or rough BC coast waters that would further complicate clean up. This is just a pro O&G position. You can’t make Canada an energy superpower..

I’m curious, why come into my replies to regurgitate literal talking points from the campaign that Liberals adopted from conservatives. Are you incapable of original thought? Critical thinking? Or do you just love pissing all over folks Charter rights for profit? Nm, you have no have no f’in clue.

Singh and the NDP have given an underwhelming performance worthy of criticism in this debate (along w/ their platform), but please Liberals, the whole "he's interrupting". Give it a break. Your boy Carney & Poilievre are eating up the clock. He's just trying to be heard.

Poilievre on Gaza: "We must condemn Hamas & Iran & go after the terrorists". Cool, you can start with Israel, the IDF, & Netanyahu with his ICC warrant.
What a pathetic response, he quite literally has no knowledge of the deep history on this topic. Embarrassing stuff.😬

Every Poilievre response during this debate: blah blah blah taxes
How do you solve a cost-of-living/housing crisis by tinkering around the edges with taxes, while giving corporate welfare to the O&G industry, Bay Street, and ultra-wealthy?
Sounds like a moron to me.🤔🤷

The biggest danger here is Poilievre's attempt to expand the Overton window to federal use of the notwithstanding clause. Honestly, play it out in your head. What happens if a Liberal gov't felt emboldened now to use it, only to have a province use it in response? Welcome to a constitutional crisis.

WTF was that "tough on crime" nonsense from Poilievre?! Does he not realize many of us have followed US politics closely for a decade? Those were literal GOP talking points, verbatim. Still with the unconstitutional "three-strike policy". F that Friedrich Hayek lovin' loon. #CDNPoli #CDNelxn #elxn45

Those n/a votes have context in the bill analysis. Long story short: The Harper-era CPC did not think housing was a top-priority concern, instead allowing the market to do its thing, just as Liberals have done for the past decade.

I mean, I definitely don't disagree, but it's the typical liberal rhetoric, right? The difference being the lip service to "working Canadians" and the "middle-class". But yea, similar result regardless.

Poilievre is just talking out of both sides of his mouth here. Trying to be tough on Trump/America, while also bowing to him. He's telling Canadians he's much more comfortable trampling over Canadian sovereignty (Indigenous rights) than confronting daddy Trump.

Poilievre has spoken three times early in the debate. I'm listening for who the winners/losers are in this debate, and each comment, PP has one clear pattern: Winners - Private-Sector, Ultra-wealthy, O&G Sector. Losers - Working-class Canadians. Indigenous communities.
