The CEO of Bell fired 6,100 workers, took a massive salary for himself and paid out shareholders, and then blamed it on YOU.

You heard that right - he said it was the fault of consumers.

To me, the real reason he cut those jobs is clear: corporate greed.

The Liberals should never have bought the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

Now Canadians are on the hook for $35 billion worth of irresponsible government spending.

TMX is an environmental and economic disaster.

In the last election, Justin Trudeau promised to ban thermal coal exports by 2030. Per Steven Guilbeault a global shift away from coal will save lives.

Thermal coal exports from Canada have more than tripled since this govt. has come to power (19.5 mil. tons in 2023 alone). 🧵1/3

It's unacceptable that the budget is spending less than half as much on the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls than it is on auto-theft. That sends a clear message to indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people: the government values cars more than us.

The government promised the as a means to lift people living with disabilities out of poverty. Instead, they're offering $200/month and excuses!

Cons recognize an economic crisis but deny that there is a climate one. Libs see a climate crisis but fail to fully recognize an economic one. Only the NDP realize that Canada faces intertwined economic and climate crises, and that addressing both is the key to real progress.

Budget 2024 tells us 2 things we already knew:

1.⁠ ⁠New Democrats are lowering your bills.

2.⁠ ⁠Conservatives want to cut services for you and continue a $60 Billion handout to corporations like Loblaw.

Liberals don't have the courage to go after corporate greed - New

Cancel the Corporate Handouts.

Liberals and Conservatives don't think you're paying Galen Weston enough - they've given him billions in your tax dollars too.

Their corporate coalition has gifted $2.35 Billion to the Grocery Cartel.

$1.2B to Loblaw
$815M to Metro
$316M to

Finally, after wasting $800,000 in taxpayers money and threatening to have the House sit all weekend on nuisance amendments, Conservatives folded like a cheap tent- and the Sustainable Jobs Act -for clean energy jobs- has passed report stage!

I was shocked to hear that non-status residential school survivors and MMIWG family members are losing access to vital counselling services.

Here is the question I posed today to the federal government. I’ll continue to push them to restore access to counselling.

With wildfires, extreme flooding & drought, it’s Canadians who are paying the price for the climate crisis – not wealthy corps.

My motion will bring the richest oil & gas CEOs to Committee to make them answer for price gouging & fuelling this crisis at the expense our future.

All of these are true:
 
1. Grocery prices are 📈
2. Loblaw executives are making multi-million 💰 salaries
3. Pierre Poilievre's Chief Strategist doubles as a Loblaw Lobbyist 🥸
 
That’s the Price of Pierre.
 
We are taking on corporate greed. Conservatives are cheering it on.
