For those voting in Bowmanville-North #Oshawa
A reminder that Poilievre's Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has a back door to the White House!
He's perhaps the candidate of the greatest concern given his friendship with JD Vance & his Christian nationalist stance.
A vote for Jivani is a vote for #Canada’s version of Project 2025.
Jivani was a parachute candidate into this true-blue riding; Liberal candidate Bridget Girard is a local resident & educator for over 30 yrs
"Poilievre’s press team treat us like enemy agents."
The Conservative leader is trying to prevent anyone from questioning his record, his ideas, his plans, & his policies. He hopes that by marginalizing & discrediting the media, his supporters will tune us out and listen to only him.
If Pierre #Poilievre is too afraid to go toe-to-toe with #Canada's journalists, how can we expect him to take on Donald Trump?
*What *is Pierre hiding??
@jdw What are the major policy differences between them? What policy has #PierrePoilievre announced that you cannot imagine #MarkCarney announcing, or vice versa?
No one will deny that there are major differences between the men, and in their manner, but on policy?
Carney and Poilievre struggle to distinguish themselves

"Both men are promising tax cuts. Both pledge fewer inter-provincial trade barriers. Both tout cross-Canada corridors to boost the economy, though Poilievre’s is a straightforward “energy corridor” while Carney’s is a “trade diversification corridor fund” that mentions ports, railroads, airports and highways, but not pipelines. Carney stole Tory plans on carbon taxes and capital gains"
"Canada’s electoral interference watchdog says the Chinese government is behind recent campaigns on China’s largest social media network to influence opinion of Liberal Leader Mark Carney."

It's unlikely that Beijing has any special fondness for #MarkCarney, but the #CCP does think the Liberals are more sympathetic than the Conservatives.

And a reminder:
Pierre #Poilievre, the Conservative candidate in #Ottawa Carleton, HAS A DOCUMENTED RECORD
OF CHEATING IN ELECTIONS.
Mr. Poilievre has been under a mandatory permanent Compliance Agreement with the Commissioner of Canadian Elections and Elections Canada since 2017, after committing
election campaign finance violations in 2015.
@KimberlyN @bici "How many are cult-of-personality fans who follow him from place to place?" Doesn't sound like much fun, at all. 
BTW #Poilievre is in #Alberta this evening.
He and Stephen Harper aim to fill this Edmonton industrial bunker with loyal supporters.
"Don’t believe the hype: there is no untapped export market just waiting for Canadian fossil fuels."
"Recent research from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis confirms major Asian markets – like China and India – are skipping over LNG and transitioning from coal directly to renewables. Germany recently told Canada their interest in Canadian LNG has evaporated."

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was the first to capitulate by endorsing and adopting all of Big Oil’s demands... the Conservatives’ National Council is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists"
"Canada’s oil & gas sector is largely American-owned, and, though it has always been most profitable to sell Canadian crude to the United States, the fossil fuel sector won’t stand in the way of even more federal subsidies promoted by ignorant politicians"

If anyone was hoping to stand as a candidate in #elxn45, I'm afraid it is now too late.
Candidate lists will be published tomorrow, but here's the breakdown as it stands right now:
I had to look a little more into the Quebec specific polls to see if there were any trends there, so I recreated the same graph with Quebec polls.
It is hard to make out from the very noisy Bloc and CPC numbers but the Bloc did go below 20%. These are Liaison provincial polls which appear to be consistently the lowest for the Bloc.
There doesn't really seem to be any discernible trend for the Bloc or CPC. Both are fluctuating wildly between pollsters. But the Liberal and the NDP numbers are showing a decline and slight upward trend respectively.
I'll post these Quebec numbers with the national numbers tomorrow and going forward just to keep an eye on it.
Is someting happening in Quebec?!
The Bloc have broken below the 5% (national poll) barrier twice in the latest two days of polling, which is for April 4th and 5th.
Mainstreet polls, 4% on the 4th, then 3% on the 5th.
There are also Liaison “B" grade (not included on graph) polling that pegged them at 4% in their four most recent pollings since April 2nd.
LPC/CPC still within usual bounds. NDP steady.

"but for the most part, they sound mostly like shit disturbers"
Their history would suggest they pick and choose ridings where voter suppression and/or voter confusion is advantageous to Conservative candidates.
More than 50 [update: 78] candidates are on the federal ballot in Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre's #Ottawa riding of Carleton - all the independent candidates have the same registered agent – Tomas Szuchewycz.
Carleton riding has also seen a rash of damaged and defaced campaign signs for the Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.
The Conservative signs are largely untouched.

I am very grateful for this scrutiny to be in place, but I have to ask the question. Are they keeping an eye on *American* influence and misinformation campaigns that could affect our election on Twitter and Facebook?
"This case is contained to one platform and has not spread further, nor is it affecting Canadians' abilities to make an informed decision about their vote," the statement says.”

Honestly ... is there anything about Canada that Mr & Mrs Pierre Poilievre have shown they actually like?
