This is today’s most outrageous statement- @PierrePoilievre talking about his new criminal laws "We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean." Damn the courts & charter
I mean, I don't want to say I told you so here, but I *kind* of did. Poilievre's commitment to freedom is entirely circumstantial. His promise to proactively use the Notwithstanding Clause is just more evidence of that. #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/02/27/opi…
Why?
Basically writing and invoking a notwithstanding clause
When a politician uses this language take note. He wants absolute power…law & courts be damned. "We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean." cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Governments own land in almost every community in Canada. Whether it’s a post office, government office, military building, or vacant land, there is probably one near you! It’s time to use it so we can build homes Canadians need at prices they can actually afford.
There is only one leader courting far right extremists. His name is Pierre Poilievre. Pierre doesn’t care. He needs their money and support to find a path to power. Want to help keep the extreme right out of Canadian politics? Go to liberal.ca to volunteer.

Like Public Education? Or is this an argument for defunding the police and privatizing the law enforcement to get costs down?

For the people who think that Canada is fiscally "broken": nuh uh. We good, fam. This is from the latest IMF Fiscal Report, "Fiscal Policy in the Great Election Year" Chapter 1 imf.org/en/Publication…
Over a 10 year period 80% of taxpayers NEVER generate a capital gain ever. Of 20% who do, avg is $5,200. And number who would actually hit $250,000 for cap gains alone would be about 1-2% (of the 20%). This doesn’t cover corps but you get a very clear sense — impact is narrow.

Climate change is real.
To quote @CWhitzman Canada has more Post Offices than Tim Hortons. Imagine if we built affordable housing on top of all of them?

Canada Post has locations in almost every community across the country. In some places, they’re only a storey tall, and have great locations in downtown cores. Through #Budget2024 we will use the space and deliver housing right on top.

The only law Skippy drafted while in cabinet was The Fair Elections Act. It was soooo obviously an attempt to rig elections for CPC that even Harper scratched certain sections. The Supreme Court of Canada further scratched much more of it as unconstitutional. Trudeau killed it.
We will make them Constitutional... "All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said. "We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean."

Poilievre told a sovereign citizen convoy group camped out at the Nova Scotia / New Brunswick group that he saw them on the side of the highway as he was driving back from PEI and decided to stop and “say hello.” “Everyone’s happy with what you’re doing,” Poilievre says.

🧵 Re: Halal Mortgages in #Budget2024: It’s been hilarious, and terrifying to see some of the ignorant reactions and hot takes from pundits, right-wingers, and some politicians. So for the record, since Arabic words scare people — “Halal” simply means permissible. 1/8

Wow. The Liberals are on fire in the HOC today with @AnitaAnandMP & other ministers. @SeanFraserMP is roasting Cons like he’s Godzilla. Poilievre is looking rattled, tired and losing self-confidence. I’m cheering out loud here.
Many Canadians, such as retirees who own their homes, or younger families who want their parents to move in, might want to add a unit to their home. So we are going to offer low-interest loans of up to $40,000 to make it easier to add secondary suites. canada.ca/en/department-…

Canada has a choice. Do we want to talk about the housing crisis, or do we want to solve it? As for where the federal government stands: It's time to build.
2. The Housing Plan doesn’t repeat the PM’s bold recognition that north star for all housing policy is that home prices cannot continue to rise. Stalling home prices is a necessary first step to reconnect the growing gap between home prices and earnings...
