Enough with the crocodile tears about the capital gains in your cottage or business. If anything, the feds should be doing even more to ensure today's young people have the same economic opportunities as you did. #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/05/01/opi…
@mileslunn We should get rid of the notwithstanding clause. Many countries have rights that can't actually be arbitrarily removed.
What? "Liberals accuse Poilievre..." No. Poilievre stated on camera, twice, what his intentions are. Liberals and other parties *reacted* to what he's promised. The story is good. The headline? A disingenuous scenario that Poilievre feeds off: 'victim'. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
This is 100% a lie. The Speaker told Trudeau to rephrase--something he'd already asked Poilievre to do on a different remark.
Who wants to bet the CPC tries to manufacture dissent like the US has experienced on their “debt ceiling”. This is business as usual for a budget cycle.
Pretending it’s a both sides issue is the problem.

It amuses me when people pretend they don't understand context. "Wacko idea" "Wacko tweet" "Wacko Lawton" have different meanings.

Andrew knows perfectly well that it's not about the use of the word. It's about the fact that it was directed at a fellow parliamentarian, something that clearly breaches parliamentary protocol, and Poilievre refused to withdraw it when asked. This isn't complicated. #cdnpoli

Canada's daily QP is unique opportunity to question the government and important accountability session. It would be nice if it could revolve around policy and not turn into a name calling competition. Democracy is fragile. Safeguard it.
It's important to recognize what's going on here. Pierre is desperately trying to distract attention away from his guest appearance in the recent episode of Trailer Park Boys
Yeah, you didn't watch the full exchange. Also, Trudeau was called out for that, and told to rephrase (as Poilievre had already been told to do at one point).

That's what the stunt in Parliament was about, in the end. And the subsequent fundraising. People across age and income brackets are dying from a toxic drug supply.
If your cause is justice for the Palestinian people, your first duty is to persuade. They need the world to focus on the justice of their cause. If your tactics are turning large swathes of the population against you, you are failing those little children.
The Speaker said it wasn't, and told the Prime Minister to rephrase. He did. So no.

Okay, I’m going to need a lot more of you to come over to the right side of history now. Not expecting you to do much, just for ballast.

@mileslunn We should get rid of the notwithstanding clause. Many countries have rights that can't actually be arbitrarily removed.
@Downtown476 @prairiecentrist The Speaker gave him multiple opportunities to simply withdraw the comment, which he continued to play games with. He knew exactly what was being asked, and wanted to see how far he could push the Speaker.
@Downtown476 @prairiecentrist Watched it live. Poilievre wanted to be "cute". He offered, for eg, to "withdraw wacko and replace it with extremist", which repeats the language into the record, and substitutes another unparliamentary term.
@prairiecentrist Ya, I just move on with my life. But wash my hands first
@Downtown476 @prairiecentrist He didn’t have to withdraw because he rephrased. How is that hard to understand? He also asked Poilievre to rephrase and when Poilievre refused he said “rephrase or withdraw” and when Poilievre refused that, he kicked him out 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@prairiecentrist You’d expect a person that gets published regularly in various papers would know what happened.
@Simmer_29 @prairiecentrist Tom Mulcair may be a former NDP leader but he's just as much a conservative as anyone in the CPC. His opinion means nothing to me
@prairiecentrist People have shared the clip with this guy and he still says it never happened.
What? "Liberals accuse Poilievre..." No. Poilievre stated on camera, twice, what his intentions are. Liberals and other parties *reacted* to what he's promised. The story is good. The headline? A disingenuous scenario that Poilievre feeds off: 'victim'. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

ICYMI from Tuesday: Canada seeks a nearly C$300 billion increase on borrowing authority. On WSJ wires:
@prairiecentrist Actually, it’s part of his playbook - appealing to the white male hockey bro crowd. There are a lot of those folks who cheer misplaced masculinity- like getting excited about hockey fights (which I find boring, useless and an albatross circling the game.)
@HistoryCath @prairiecentrist @BrianMa29812303 @djbip1986 Then you must have seen the policy arguments at Cabinet resolved by the virtually unlimited power of the PM to enforce his will. The "pressure" put on JWR was nothing compared to what the PM can bring to bear when he wants something.
@prairiecentrist It was an occupation by some whose stated goal was to overthrow a democratically elected government. Like the current government or not, that's not how it works.
@djbip1986 @kensmith_ken @HistoryCath @prairiecentrist @BrianMa29812303 While we got a clear picture of every intervention that she was subject to in exacting detail, there was no context to show how a normal Cabinet discussion plays out. I think JWR's defensive posture was the problem, not the request for an explanation of her decision.
@prairiecentrist He is playing everybody including the press.
@1689Winnipegger @purrlitics @prairiecentrist @wasbarrett But was that within the house?
@prairiecentrist Look at the fundraising email: "The Liberal Speaker" Sorry, in our system the Speaker is an arbiter and should be respected. It's theatre to play to the cheap seats that will have repercussions if the Conservatives are in government as the decorum of the HOC continues to slide
