🧵THREAD: I read through Poilievre’s "Canada First" campaign pivot so you don't have to.

The Cons have announced major policies & speaking points to ramp up policing, environmental destruction, and expand the anti-immigrant agenda that they will drum on until the elections.

[1] Deeper US integration: Ignore all the bluster - Poilievre starts his speech calling on the US to "team up" with Canada, deepening economic & military integration with the U.S., locking Canada further into Trump's wars, trade policies, and right-wing agenda.

[2] Mass incarceration disguised as drug policy: Poilievre is proposing mandatory life sentences for fentanyl trafficking. But we know this doesn’t protect health or people—it just fuels mass incarceration, disproportionately targeting excluded communities.

[3] More jails: Instead of harm reduction, Poilievre will repeal C-5 and C-75, which rolled back Harper-era mandatory minimums. This will lock up more people—especially Black, Indigenous, migrant and poor people—while continuing wealth inequity and extraction.

[4] Resource extraction at all costs: Poilievre is pushing a West-to-East pipeline from the Prairies to New Brunswick. More oil extraction, more emissions, more Indigenous land theft, more climate collapse—all to serve corporate profits.

[5] Coercing Indigenous nations to accept pipelines: He wants to let fossil fuel companies redirect their taxes to impoverished First Nations to "incentivize" support. This isn't reconciliation or self-determination—it’s corporate colonialism.

[6] Militarization: Poilievre wants to build a new Arctic military base, buy more F-35 jets, submarines, and warships. Instead of investing in solutions for people or the climate, he's fuelling the military-industrial complex.
