So instead of standing on his own integrity, he plans to attack others. What happened to sunny ways and doing things differently?

For some reason the CBC system upgrade made it so you have to add people back to your block list all over again.

Reply to @Bob Gillies: "False...….all 3 have....Scheer most recently in the House of Commons on Wednesday. "

If true then methinks this must be fake news N'esy Pas?

"Andrew Scheer conveniently fails to call out alt-right conspiracy theories. Andrew Scheer fought against a non-binding motion to denounce Islamophobia. Andrew Scheer has proudly spoken at the same rallies as white nationalists. Is that someone who will govern for all Canadians? I don't think so."

"The comment about sharing a stage with white nationalists refers to Scheer's appearance at the pro-pipeline rally United We Roll, on Parliament Hill in February. One of the speakers was a former Rebel Media and alt-right personality who has since been fired from Rebel Media and banned from Facebook for her extreme views."

Regarding climate change, Harper's public transit credit is much better than drama teacher's carbon tax.

Reply to @Sean Coutinho: and, again how does a tax stop people from having to use their vehicles and heat their homes? No one bothers to explain how you can walk 20KM each way to work? not all of us live where there is public transit and we do need to heat our homes in the winter. not all of us are given the privilege of flying to florida on the taxpayer's dime - we have to stay here and keep warm and keep the money flowing for the privilege of flying all over world at our expense. and, that issue is never addressed either - the politicians spew more into the air than most taxpayers do and it's ok with certain people.

Trudeau shouldnt be lecturing anyones budget. He promised no more than 10 billion per year deficit with a sutplus this year.

Only about 50 billion off the mark

Reply to @Clive Gibbons: and, who said scheer hates immigrants and doesn't find women smart?? and doesn't believe in global warming? where is that shown? Just because he doesn't agree with another tax gouge doesn't mean he doesn't agree with global warming. and, he has some extremely smart women speaking out often - they can run circles around t2 and most of his caucus.

Reply to @Joan Tyne: Methinks you should ask Mr Scheer why i sued the Crown when he was the Speaker of the House N'esy Pas?

alt-right? Way to pander to the very vocal but tiny fraction of a minority of left wing radicals. Trudeau just alienated nearly his entire vote base.

Trudeau road tests campaign attacks that lump Scheer and Doug Ford with the alt-right

'Liberals fighting Liberals only helps Andrew Scheer,' says PM

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau road tested his campaign strategy Friday, lumping Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and other right-of-centre politicians who deny climate change, vilify immigrants and tolerate white nationalists.

In a 25-minute speech to supporters in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga that mentioned Ford as much as it did Scheer, Trudeau criticized the recently released Ontario budget and warned how it could be reflected on the federal stage.

Ford "announced his first budget loaded with cuts. Cuts to services for farmers, cuts to services for Franco-Ontarians, for seniors, for post-secondary students, for Indigenous peoples, for children and for all those who rely on community social services. Shame," Trudeau said.



"Andrew Scheer takes his cues from the Ontario premier, so Canadians can expect much of the same if he ever gets elected: Cuts to the Canada Child Benefit, cuts to the National Housing Strategy, cuts to the OAS and to CPP enhancements and on climate change in particular, he's no better."

Ford's budget did make a number of cuts to programs and services, but they were less than were expected and the provincial government is still running a deficit of almost $12 billion.
Trudeau also criticized Ford's environmental record. He pointed out that the Ontario government recently fired the province's chief scientist, scrapped mandatory emissions tests for cars, killed Ontario's cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions and is using public money to fight the federal carbon pricing plan in court.

"Andrew Scheer said that the first thing he'll do if elected prime minister is to make pollution free again. He wants to take us back to Stephen Harper's decade of inaction."

Trudeau said that in contrast, the first thing his government did upon getting elected in 2015 was to increase taxes for the wealthiest one per cent of Canadians and cut taxes for the middle class.

"You want to talk about 'for the people,' that's 'for the people,'" Trudeau said mocking Doug Ford's often used political catchphrase.

Liberals fighting Liberals 

The prime minister lumped Scheer in with the rising conservative populist movement globally that Trudeau says has successfully turned anger into political support that wins elections.

"Why worry about climate change, they say, when immigrants are taking your jobs."

"Andrew Scheer conveniently fails to call out alt-right conspiracy theories. Andrew Scheer fought against a non-binding motion to denounce Islamophobia. Andrew Scheer has proudly spoken at the same rallies as white nationalists. Is that someone who will govern for all Canadians? I don't think so."

The comment about sharing a stage with white nationalists refers to Scheer's appearance at the pro-pipeline rally United We Roll, on Parliament Hill in February. One of the speakers was a former Rebel Media and alt-right personality who has since been fired from Rebel Media and banned from Facebook for her extreme views.

Trudeau also asked supporters to come together to fight Scheer, referencing the recent infighting in his party over the SNC-Lavalin affair.

"Liberals fighting Liberals only helps Andrew Scheer," Trudeau said.
