I read the latest "Conservative Party of Canada Policy Declaration" from Sep 2023, and hoo boy. It has a number of pretty concerning sections, some of which I will highlight in the following thread 🧵 They sound like Trumpian language translated into calm, reasonable-sounding but dangerous Canadian.

“If we have nothing to hide, we should take that path” That’s UCP MLA Peter Guthrie who just voted with us in calling for a full public inquiry into the CorruptCare scandal. MLA Scott Sinclair also stood up. This is huge. Now, which other UCP MLAs will have a backbone and do the right thing?

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Pierre Poilievre’s American-style politics have no place in Canada. Advance Polls are this weekend, Carleton — Go vote for Bruce! #TogetherWeCan #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Poilievre told Quebec he will protect French-language CBC and end English CBC because 'news in English is plentiful'. He's wrong. The CBC requires no subscription, is richer, broader, local, national, investigative, accessible. Losing the CBC would be devastating for this country.

People are disappearing… today… right now. In the very state you live in, if not the very community, there are people who quite recently were there but no longer are—and not because they chose to leave. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

#Alberta #Canada #elxn45 #Edmonton Gateway, you have closed that gap but you are still in tossup territory neck and neck with CPC. You can flip this riding but it’s going to come down to a win or loss on a very small difference. Good job closing the gap - now get out the vote

“I think this is the first time a Cdn poli has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control research topics. It could be a very terrible time for us.” Sound familiar? In Cdn election, Poilievre vows to end ’woke ideology’ in science funding www.science.org/content/arti...

Hey, Sarnia-Lambton: Ten years of Marilyn Gladu is way past enough! Time to vote for Liberal George Vandenberg. P.S. If you request a lawn sign from the Liberal headquarters on Christina St (or online) they will drop a sign off to your front yard. 2nd P.S. Gladu is anti abortion & pro insurrection

Oh. Donald Trump is exempting smartphones from tariffs now? Guess Apple CEO Tim Cook personally donating $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee paid off. Exemptions also include semiconductors, solar cells, and memory cards. Solar cells? Elon Musk is getting his money's worth for Tesla too.

Politics Girl has a wonderful message for her fellow Canadians. Yes, she’s Canadian lol. She supports Mark Carney, and that’s unsurprising since she’s a pretty smart lady.😊🇨🇦❤️

Definitely worth a read. If you usually vote Conservative please take the time to read this and see if it changes your view of Mark Carney as someone who has the ability to deal with the present situation for our best interests. Thank you. open.substack.com/pub/axorc/p/...

More from Dan Satterfield. #MarkCarney is a world renowned expert in markets. But he also may be vital to preventing a global economic collapse. Voting for Carney isn’t just about stopping a fascist #TemuTrump from destroying 🇨🇦, but 1 of the few people with skills to possibly prevent 🌎 disaster.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

No single person should have the power to do what Trump is doing right now unilaterally dictating world trade & fucking with the world economy. No person should have that power. Certainly not in this country. Shame on you Congressional Republicans for giving it to him. Shame on you.

Warning ⚠️ Pierre Poilievre says he’ll use the Notwithstanding Clause to “protect” Canada—but it’s a dangerous power grab. The clause lets him override court rulings, weaken the justice system, and strip away your rights. It’s straight out of 🍊💩 playbook undermining our democracy. #NeverpoiLIEvre

Canada, you need to choose. Do you want a Prime Minister & govt aligned with Donald Trump, Danielle Smith, Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Kevin O’Leary, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, JD Vance and Jordan Peterson? No. Then vote for Carney like our existence depends on it, because it does!

What happens when you don’t have health insurance when you most need it? You feel helpless. I’ve been there. Our first daughter was born with a serious heart defect, and I couldn’t afford health insurance. We sat in a hospital’s charity ward.

For an MP like Pierre Poilievre who refuses to undergo vetting for a TS Security clearance he certainly vets the media a lot. So, why all the screening of #media questions beforehand, why only 4 questions with no follow-up? What doesn't Poilievre want the media to uncover about him before #elxn45?
