Transcript of the end of Poilievre's campaign speech to the congregation of Life Worship Centre, June 30 2024. The speech compared Canada to a home that is broken. TLDR: "Canada is a home provided by God ... thank Jesus Christ ... let us rebuild our country in a way that would make Him proud.

Happy Canada Day! "After 9 years of Trudeau," as Poilievre is so fond of repeating... Canada's overall budget balance is the strongest among G20 nations according to the International Monetary Fund’s latest fiscal monitor.

I guess it's totally normal now for an AbacusData director to retweet a Poilievre petition/fundraiser/email harvester. Kate is also ViceChair & Partner of Abacus' partner Summa Strategies, a Conservative image management firm, and a panelist on CBC & CTV.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison this morning, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK for Australia. ~Wikileaks

In today's Toronto-St. Paul byelection, CPC candidate Don Stewart was formerly Managing Director at Loblaws lobbyist Jenni Byrne & Associates. Why is this not mentioned in media or the CPC campaign? In the last elxn, voter turnout was 66% in this riding - take a neighbour with you to vote today.

Can't tell you how many times I've had that exact same conversation with peeps on other platforms .... Another is people thinking when they sell their only home to have money to retire on, that the gov will take 66% of their money. Yes, the exploitation of this fear is horrible.

It's peculiar how many sympathetic digital tears are being shed for the 40K Canadians who average a gross income of $1.4 million a year, as compared to the 31,531,000 Canadians who average $60,000 gross per year. Capital gains.

With the RebelNews billboard truck driving around the GTA flashing hate messages about a "muslim takeover" in Canada and getting busted for it as yet another RebelNews fundraising stunt, let's recall that Pierre Poilievre has directly embedded these Rebel fundraiser videos in his own twitter account

In an unhinged promo rant for his "TommyTour with Ezra Levant & RebelNews" a few hours ago, Tommy Robinson said "men have been weakened" and have to learn "to stand up for themselves again" here and how he hopes to ignite that movement in Canada as he has done in the UK. 👀

Robert Shillman, a wealthy Trump supporter, funded former Rebel rouser and UK anti-Islam agitator Tommy Robinson, currently touring in Canada - what a coincidence! - by running the money through Rebel Media in Canada, according to the NYTimes.

The Rebel took money from a radical, anonymous, pro-Israel group and sent a truck around Toronto with Great Replacement messaging about Islamic invasion, and is now trying to leverage a police investigation into fundraising. This is modern Canadian conservatism. www.thestar.com/news/gta/reb...

David Coletto defended his use of polling questions about "lack of freedom in Canada" & "too much political correctness" by saying the questions were only asked of those respondents who answered that those were among their top 3 issues. Really? So that was 1356 outof 1550 Abacus regular respondents?

The next time you think about taking an Abacus Data poll seriously just because all our media including CBC does, consider that they framed this question in such a way as to have the the Peoples Party of Canada poll higher than the Libs, NDP, and Greens.

Huh. Is Canada "broken"? According to the IMF, Canada's balance of government spending & revenue as a percent of GDP is balanced. (Admittedly this data is 4 years old, due to the lag in time for the IMF to compare revenue & spending for all internal levels of government per country.)

If you wonder what ??? might give Poilievre pause on going ahead and requesting that security clearance: "A refusal to provide information will lead to a review of whether the person is eligible to hold the position or perform the contract that is associated with this Personnel Screening Request."

Capital Gains simplified. Taxation remains the same for Canada’s top 0.13%, ok? except 17% more of their actual *profit* over $250K *per year* will now be included as part of their income. That's it. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

If we didn't accept living under an economic system that prioritizes artificial scarcity over public health in the service of yacht money for the few, someone like Poilievre wouldn't stand a fucking chance at gaining power in Canada.

I hear you but we've been calling ours in BC a "carbon tax" for 16 years now. I'm not entirely convinced we want to go down the road of changing that terminology in Canada just to try to placate the no-taxes crowd.

It's worse than that - hardly anyone will read it so it won't counter Poilievre anyway. And I should have said "gas tax" , not "carbon tax".

So much for Poilievre's bs about the federal carbon tax.
Canada pays the third lowest carbon tax out of 36 nations in the OECD, and less than half the OECD average.
Excellent article:

No mention of healthcare or education. Poilievre today: “I’m very hesitant to spend taxpayers’ money on anything other than the core services – roads, bridges, police, military, border security, and a safety net for those who can’t provide for themselves. That’s common sense – let’s bring it home”
