💰 @PierrePoilievre’s CONservatives have been caught spending more than $400K in taxpayers’ money to attend a party CONvention.

It’s irresponsible & hypocritical. They should 💯 pay back the money💰. #Cdnpoli

[Ryan Turnbull 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @TurnbullWhitby]

Conservatives talk about fiscal responsibility but then take advantage of loopholes to get an all expense paid trip for their MPs to attend a partisan convention on the taxpayer dime. That’s not responsible!

This is just the latest in Conservative hypocrisy!

Why are Canadian media not treating this as front page news of utmost importance — (have you SEEN how EVERY vacation that JustinTrudeau takes is covered???)

[Clay Thompson. @harryt59_harry]

Can someone please tell me what conservatives, both federal & provincial, have against
Rebates
Dental care
Child care
Pharma care
Building homes
Fixing infrastructure
Taxing the top 1%
Vaccines
Green energy
Children
Ukraine
But most of all
What do they have against Canada?

“It’s time the government took responsibility for ensuring safe working & learning conditions in Nova Scotia schools.” On a given day multiple students are absent, have to be caught up…. Can be 10%, 20%, more. Many reasons but illness is the most disruptive (other than vacation)

[Trevor @TrevorsIdeas]

I'm not delusional because I don't like Poilievre

I don't like his rage tactics, I don't like his slogans for policies, and I don't think a man who acts like a high school troll has any business being leader of a country.

Whataboustisms are irrelevant here.

The Minister of Education might want to change the channel, but the truth is that banning cell phones in #onted does absolutely nothing to address the chronic underfunding of our schools! Students, families, educators, and ed workers deserve more. #onpoli https://t.co/4hZJTtP0wP

#Opinion If Pierre Poilievre doesn't want to be portrayed as an authoritarian leader, maybe he should stop talking like one https://t.co/Iy9yJayfDR #cdnpoli

The HOC gives Poilievre the boot this year. The Canadian people will give him the boot next year. 🥾🥾Canada’s very own Trump; he’s a toxic rage farmer. There’s no room for that anger, lying and arrogance in this country.

[Roddy 🇨🇦 @RodKahx]

Any party leader who holds zero respect for our parliament and our house of commons should immediately resign. It isn't his. It belongs to Canadians.

Resign Pierre Poilievre.

[Althia Raj @althiaraj]

This is a really a shameful day. There are worthy debates to be had about how to deal with the opioid crisis (which is killing 20 Cdns a day). We should all want our leaders to disagree without being disagreeable. We, as citizens, deserve better than this.

Fortunately for you, Canadian law doesn’t incarcerate bush league authoritarians. Nobody tried to censor you, Skipper. The speaker politely asked you to withdraw unparliamentary language. Instead you wiithdrew what little dignity you had and played childish word games.

[Tom Flemming @tomflem]

Anyone who sees the #Charter of Rights & Freedoms as a hindrance to the way he thinks of governing should not be allowed anywhere near power.

[Clay Thompson. @harryt59_harry]

Pierre Poilievre wants to tear down our institutions.
He wants to rip up our constitution & charter.
Now, he wants to destroy the House of Commons.
He attacks journalists.
He attacks charities.
He attacks women.
He attacks decent Canadians like David Johnston.
Enough is Enough

[Carol-Anne Canuck @CFosee]

I can't wait for the day that I no longer have to hear about Pierre Poilievre and Donald Trump.

[Isis Wise ™️ @Liberals4Canada]

Poilievre’s antics in the House of Commons today is to deflect from his drunken dalliance with the unemployed ‘axe the tax’ chuds in their meth trailer.

Don’t become distracted.
#PierrePoilievreIsADrunk

[Charlie Angus @CharlieAngusNDP]

White racist extremists have never felt so empowered.
Today Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives walked out of Parliament rather than denounce them.
What a shameful day in our country.
