Don't fall for Poilievre's use of the #Finkelsteinmethod created by the Arthur Finkelstein, the 1970's conservative guru who perfected how to create lie, and how to be believed while doing so.

Poilievre is clearly posing as the only valid representative for continuance of #whitemaleprivilege and entitlement spawned by the patriarchal structure of Dominionist Christianity.

So, who are conservatives and what do conservatives value? Smaller government, lower taxes, law and order, a preoccupation with economic matters is a far too simplistic list.

despite the fact there is no scriptural backing found in the New Testament teachings for the #7MountainsMandate, for Jesus Christ stood for loving those we disagree with, not hating them.

Intended as an expression of rejection of the #LGBTQ communities and their allies, Poilievre's "silent protests" by failing to attend #Prideevents during #PrideMonth are a rejection of the Canadian value of inclusiveness. His behaviour is an expression of support for Dominionist Christian dogma,

they introduce tax cuts that only benefit those elites and reduce government services for the lower-income brackets, while deregulating environmental protections and consumer protections.

Ironically, though Poilievre has failed to produce a work history outside of government, he has become a member of Canada's millionaire elite while serving as an MP since 2004.

#cdnpoli #cdnpolitics A PM must represent all Canadians by speaking and acting ONLY in the best interests of our entire population. Poilievre is not fit to be PM as he cannot do that, so he is employing the #populistagenda of dividing and conquering Canadians in a failing attempt to gain power.

Unsurprisingly, an overinflated ego like Tamara Lich's prevents one from being repentant and grateful. Reality check: Mischief (over $5,000) prosecuted by way of indictment can lead to up to 10 years in prison, or even a maximum of life imprisonment if it endangers human life.

Agreed. Their investigate skills into an ignored data breach at Interior Health in B.C were brilliant.
