"The Trudeau government failed our veterans during the lost Liberal decade," says Mr. Poilievre "I will restore Canada's military while cutting spending"

— How would that work?🤔
"We're going to end the woke culture & we're going to bring back a warrior culture".
Mr. #Poilievre also pledged his Conservative govt would cut what he called "wasteful foreign aid"

Ah yes, Pete Hegseth's "warrior culture"... 😒

@gemelliz If I never hear the word "warrior" again it will be too soon. I come from a family with a long military background. They're professionals. Warrior is infantilizing.

It always strikes me as something you'd hear in a Call of Duty lobby or other location pretend tough guys gather.

No one I've ever known who has served, including in combat, ever talks like this.

@AlexanderVI @jockr "pretend tough guys" 😑

PP is one of them.
"He's pure stagecraft."
"There’s nothing authentic about him."

@gemelliz @jockr he's certainly a pretend tough guy, among other things

@jockr @gemelliz Even worse is Hegseth’s favourite word — “warfighter”. 🤮

@gemelliz This veteran has no time for the Conservatives. They have screwed us over the military for decades. At least the Liberals don't try to bullshit us.

@gemelliz Poilievre is a tough-talking armchair warrior who’s never served a day in uniform (or, for that matter, held any kind of real job). The #CPC had a genuine warrior leading them — Erin O’Toole, who served honourably in the RCAF — but they stabbed him in the back. Cowards. #cdnpoli

Erin O'tool dared to utter the words "Climate Change". This was unacceptable to the Fossil Fuel overlords of the CPC.

"The Trudeau government failed our veterans during the lost Liberal decade"

In 2014 the Liberals listed some of the ways the Harper Government™ had failed veterans:

The Conservatives have listed things they plan to do for veterans if elected, but none of them appear to really correct the things they’re saying the Liberals failed to do (involves spending more):

Just the Facts: Stephen Harper’s failed record on Canadian veterans | Liberal Party of Canada

The Prime Minister is not taking seriously the sacred obligation to our veterans. This Conservative government has repeatedly failed those who have served our country and their families. The facts are clear.

PP sounds like he's reading off the pages of the same playbook as southern neighbour. Doubling down in hate & divisiveness. Rhetoric is projecting.

Anyone that trusts the Conservatives on the veterans file clearly hasn’t been paying attention.

And don’t get me wrong, the Liberals haven’t exactly knocked it out of the park either.
