6% national lead by LPC and projected Majority Government is not a close race.

Parties have to satisfy two of three criteria: 1) Polling at 4% 2) At least 1 MP elected under the partyโ€™s banner and 3) Running candidates in 90% of the ridings. BQ met #1 & 2. GPC only met #2. Criteria were recommended by GPC in 2007 & in 2016. #cdnpoli #GPC #BQ #LeadersDebate

Why doesnโ€™t Poilievre have his #securityclearance? Every party leader has done this while he only gives flimsy excuses. He should get his security clearance to demonstrate his suitability to serve as PM. What is Poilievre hiding? #cdnpoli #election2025

2014 #DanielleSmith was Wildrose & Official Opposition Leader. Smith led 7 Wildrose MLAs to cross the floor to the governing PCs. She knifed her own party in the back & wanted in cabinet but it didnโ€™t happen. She lost PC nomination for 2015 election. Canโ€™t trust her. #cdnpoli #alberta #albertapoli

Poilievreโ€™s lame excuse re: security clearance is that the Secrecy Oathfnffรฑgn would stop him from questioning govโ€™t. All other party leaders have security clearance. Whatโ€™s he hiding? CSIS canโ€™t share re: Indiaโ€™s interference in his CPC Ldr Cmpgn due to no clearance. Not fit to be PM. #cdnpoli

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is in panic mode as the party reached new historic low of 7% in Angus Reid poll. Singh tried to group Carney with billionaires which is pure clickbaiting. Carneyโ€™s net worth is $6.97m, nowhere near the Billionaire Club. 50% of NDPs โ€˜21 vote has โžก๏ธ LPC.
Charts from 338Canada.

Latest poll from Angus Reid shows the Liberals with a lead of 8%. 338Canada model has the LPC winning 183 seats (172 needed for majority). 46% of respondents say their impression of Carney has โฌ†๏ธover past few weeks (vs. 13% for PP & 4% for Singh.) Charts from 338Canada

False: Carney was Trudeauโ€™s Economic Advisor for 5 years.

Truth: Advisor, COVID-19 (โ€˜20). Chair, LPC Leaderโ€™s Economic Task Force (โ€˜24)

Analysis: Thatโ€™s a 4 year gap not a 5 year term. Math & facts are hard for Cons. Lies are easy.

False: Carney moved his companyโ€™s Head Office from Toronto to US.

Truth: Carney was Chair of the Board not owner. He had already left Brookfield when the decision was made.

Analysis: For CONs, lies are easy. Facts are hard.

Already fed up with the Con trolls who are everywhere now that the Liberals are 8% ahead according to new Angus Reid poll? We canโ€™t let the Cons & their deep-pocketed right-wing extremist allies just get away with their dangerous lies, bullying & gossip. We must counter lies with the truth. #cdnpoli

Carney will be at Consortium French & English debates in Montreal April 16 & 17. Declined second French debate to be hosted by Quebec private broadcaster TVA who wanted $75,000 fee from each party. One debate in each official language 1:1 is fair in five week campaign #FactsMatter #Carney #cdnpoli

National Security Officials, Sec of Defence & VP Vance texted #WarPlans for Yemen military strikes via Signal chat that included a reporter. Secrecy is always critical for such operations. โ€œCarelessness shown is stunning & dangerousโ€ said Sen. Jack Reed. #Trump not concerned.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Every source lists his net worth at 6.97 million accumulated over many years. Carney was not handed wealth; he hails from humble roots. He attended Harvard on partial scholarship and financial aid. Built career through hard work, innovation, and building relationships within the financial community

Thanks for the note but no, I meant Trudeau. PPโ€™s net worth is approximately $25 million.

Since Carneyโ€™s leadership win 100 people have expressed interest in running. LPC raised $1 million during Carneyโ€™s first 3 days as leader. LPC lead CPC 42%-36% in Ipsos poll. LPC have now nominated 192 candidates #liberalsurge #cdnpoli #VoteLPC

Angus Reid poll has Carney Liberals ahead 42%-37% in majority territory. Carney is preferred choice for PM, to deal with Trump & to manage economy. LPC leads in ON (incl. Toronto/GTA) & QC; tied for 1st in MB & BC. #cdnpoli #Carney

Conservatives say media wonโ€™t travel with PP in election due to โฌ†๏ธ costs. But media outlets have always paid their own way? National Campaign Director Jenni Byrne still proclaimed โ€œthis will be one of the most accessible & transparent campaigns in recent memoryโ€๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ#cdnpoli

#Carneyโ€™s assets are in a โ€œblindโ€ trust to avoid conflicts of interest. He canโ€™t access a blind trust & has no info re: its funds. Trustees control the assets. Online sources say his net worth is $6.97M. Trudeauโ€™s is $96M. Thereโ€™s no story here. #cdnpoli

Our toxic politics enable the spread of hate & ignorance. But there are rules. Lines you donโ€™t cross. Things you donโ€™t politicize to attack a rival. Negative posts about #Carneyโ€™s family must stop. As Canadians, we need to be better than this. #cdnpoli
