#CPC #Conservatives2018 Mr Hunt @foreignoffice @Jeremy_Hunt are you aware of the monumental diplomatic travesty you committed today? Donald Tusk was leader of Student Committee of Solidarity in Gdańsk from ‘81. He literally helped bring down the fall of Communism.
As context, his predecessor Stan Pyjas was murdered by the Security Bureau. Tusk risked his life to bring down communism, as did many others of that Solidarity generation. Can you pls show respect and try understand the people you’re negotiating with? Your Toryboy glibness shows
He joined Lech Walesa’s first post communist government, and later became a two term serving elected Prime Minister. He’s been President of the European Council. If the EU was in any way like the Soviet Union, Donald Tusk would be in a better position to say so.

THREAD:

The #CPC keep trotting out their tired talking points that, under Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, “international investment is fleeing the country” and that “Canada is closed for business.”

The facts, of course, tell a different story.

Jason Kenney is one of the most anti-LGBTQ2+ politicians to ever hold elected office in Canada. If you don’t believe me, here’s a timeline detailing @jkenney's 20-year fight against LGBTQ2+ equality. (1/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney refers to the Vriend case (which held it was unconstitutional to exclude gays and lesbians from human rights laws) as a “virus” of judicial activism. (2/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney urges Alberta Premier Ralph Klein to invoke section 33 of the Charter (a.k.a. the notwithstanding clause) to block human rights protections for gays and lesbians. (3/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Why has @AndrewScheer nor any other #CPC member mentioned the Saudi dustup? Could it be that all these trips to Washington that they’ve been making lately was the beginning of the instigation of a plan to hang Canada out to dry. I’ll explain my thoughts in a thread. #cdnpoli
Recall that Harper went to Washington on July 2 and recall also that the prime minister‘s office was surprised when the news was leaked. PM’s office found out because the White House called the #PMO to ask if he was bringing his wife.
That suggests to me that #Harper may have passed himself off as the prime minister when he set up those meetings. Why else would they ask the #PMO if Trudeau was bringing his wife?

[Graphic Language] Jason Kenney disgustingly equated LGBTQ2+ rights to polygamy and incest. Sadly, he’s not the only Conservative who has attacked the LGBTQ2+ community. Here is a list of offensive remarks that have been made by other Conservatives… (1/6) #hoc #ableg #lgbt
Harold Albrecht (@Albrecht4KitCon), the #CPC MP for Kitchener Conestoga, warned same-sex marriage “would succeed in wiping out an entire society in just one generation…” (2/6) #hoc #ableg #lgbt
Tom Lukiwski (@TomLukiwski), the #CPC MP for Moose Jaw  Lake Centre  Lanigan, proclaimed "There's A's and there's B's. The A's are guys like me. The B's are homosexual faggots with dirt on their fingernails that transmit diseases." (3/6) #hoc #ableg #lgbt

The #ucp policy process is irrelevant. Parties are not and cannot be bound by party policy if they form gov’t.

Think I’m wrong? Ask the #cpc defenders of the traditional definition of marriage how that policy worked under CPC govts. #ableg
Rather than waste time with it, I’ll propose something here instead.

I love the flat tax. Love it. It’s fair. But....it’s fair for the wrong reasons. It doesn’t benefit those who need it the most.

Alberta has both a revenue & a spending problem. Fix both.
So instead of a flat tax, eliminate all income tax for individuals.

Cut it out. Dead.

Instead, implement a 10% consumption tax. That will level the playing field and stabilize govt revenues.

However, that still impacts the low income far more than the high income.
