Poilievre would rather 'watch the country burn' than fight climate change: Trudeau
"Trudeau says Poilievre would scrap the price on pollution and take those cheques [rebates] away at a time when Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, and as wildfires, flooding and other extremes are affecting people across the country."
The Conservatives are emboldening violent extremists and undermining democracy.
"The rage machine is an altogether different beast. The people behind it come from a unique sense of entitlement.Their favourite conspiracy bugaboos — the World Economic Forum, New World Order, the woke “communist” agenda — are regularly validated and amplified by the Conservative benches. "

Canadians need to recognize there is a certain political party working to destabilize our democracy & they are using controversial issues to divide us.
A divided country, neighbour against neighbour, broken family ties, means we won't work together- when that happens any unsavoury group will take advantage of the situation and create an authoritarian government.
Do not give in to the party yelling about how Canada is broken b/c they are the ones trying to break us
(cont')
Don't give in to the endless shouty rhetoric of one party...it is an effective propaganda tactic used by Hitler and other nefarious people and groups to destabilize democracy and pit citizens against one another.
Teach your neighbours about this. Tell them to do the same.
I wish we could take the cameras out of the House of Commons. It was bad enough when politicians were playing for a clip on the evening news; now they're angling for a clip they can share on social media.
Parliament would work better if the real audience speakers were addressing were the other MPs in the House.
@jerome Sure, #PierrePoilievre shouldn't have called the PM a wacko, and he should have withdrawn the remark once the Speaker asked him to do so. It's a lowering of the discourse, unworthy of any MP, let alone the leader of the opposition.
But let's acknowledge that debate in the House of Commons has been deteriorating for sixty years at least. It's not so much a matter of individuals, there's a structural problem. I think the underlying cause is that they play to the cameras.
🚨 What We Risk by Normalizing Poilievre’s Politics
"We face losing nothing less than Canadian decency, decorum and democracy. Do news media recognize this?"
"Demonizing opponents, intimidating journalists, disrespecting institutions, politicizing the rights of the vulnerable and undermining truth are warning signs for democratic erosion."
"Now is the time-For Canadians concerned with.....our politics to resist giving in to despair."

Please take the time to read and share it.
The tv news should be broadcasting this every day.
Thank you @thetyee for having the courage to say what our MSM has been avoiding as they stand back and watch our democracy under attack.
Mainstream Canadian Media is failing us.
Seth Klein gave Pierre Poilievre, leader of the opposition, a verbal spanking that will leave blisters on this backside, not to mention hie ego.
👉 "But alas, Poilievre’s Conservatives are another matter. Today’s Conservatives are not the kind of people you want leading in an emergency.
👉 They are a death cult."
