Conservative policies always punch down. These programs exist because the rest of us have empathy.

Hammering this for the rest of the campaign. One side of Poilievre's mouth claiming 'I'm not Trump', other side spouting all the Trump and DOGE nonsense

Make no mistake, Cons adore Trump

"#ForOurKids has a number of actions folks can take at the school board, provincial & federal levels of government. At school boards we ask them to establish policies to vet resources to exclude organizations that have a conflict of interest like #FossilFuel industry funding."

Reposting for your Sunday reflection. First, my most recent column for Alberta Views, about standing up for Canadian values and calling out the Quislings who would undermine our national resolve: https://albertaviews.ca/quibbling-with-quislings/ #Alberta #Canada #Trump #ElbowsUp #HandsOff #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Every dollar lost in WTI is $750 MILLION less for Alberta’s revenues.

Would you rather vote now or protest later #canada? Conservatives say and do the same things that Trump and the Republicans say and do. #elbowsup to stop this nonsense before it infects us too. Alberta's UCP shows you the leading edge of how dumb it can be.

"It's important to remember: they don't just sow doubt about #ClimateChange & the science. They undermine the political will needed to address it, they go directly after climate policy. They're doing this in our schools, which is horrifying & they're lobbying intensively right now in government."

Eby said BC will go after companies taking advantage of the killed carbon tax, to firm prices at a higher level, gouge consumers

The day it was done our local gas station dropped from $1.74 to $1.54 - the day after, right back up to $1.74

O&G will always gouge, always overprice - do something or get the fuck out of politics

And I thought #DougFord hated #cancer patients: https://youtu.be/NfhgpBm3yTU

"The 'global science communications action plan' was introduced at a meeting by the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute which directly says 'we achieve victory when the average citizen recognizes there are uncertainties about climate science' then lays out a plan including getting into the education system."

So with all Federal parties in Canada campaigning to cut taxes to the lower and middle classes, it's important for everybody to understand the defining differences, which lie in where the money comes from.

Many fail to understand that tax money is your money. It's not money stolen from you by some big bad mobster claiming a protection racket to protect you from the mob themselves. No, tax dollars are money which, when spent properly, is invested in the underlying infrastructure of the society which YOU live in and rely on, paying for things which you could never hope to afford on your own, with or without 100% of your earned income.

That is, when public spending is the goal. In the Conservative model of "tax cuts" there are multi-billion dollar cuts given to the ultra-wealthy and corporations, not just working residents. So where is the money coming from? Out of public spending. Out of your public services. Out of your public infrastructure. Out of YOUR POCKET. You are not getting a break, you are paying for more privatization.

Meanwhile, the NDP tax cuts come from a redistribution of tax burden, taxing the ultra-wealthy a tiny bit more, which ends up being a substantial amount of cashflow, allowing a break to the working-class while also retaining or even bolstering public services and infrastructure.

The Liberal tax cuts are along the same line as the NDP, but more moderate. Leaving less of a break for workers, less of a burden on corporations, while still retaining a focus on strong public spending. You're not getting a big break, but your money is still being well spent.

Bottom line is, don't let Poilievre steal YOUR money to give away to the wealthy. That's the crux of what I wanted to say. No amount of cuts to your taxes will come close to what he takes away from what is yours.

If the wealthy aren't being taxed (which is CPC policy), then YOU are paying for it, no matter what tax breaks are offered.
