Pierre's record speaks for itself, no need to muddy waters

https://pierresrecord.ca/

Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don't want to see him as PM. Spread far and wide if you agree.

All of those are horrible but I think this one is especially chilling. He outright told us he will violate our rights. Who the fuck in their right mind would vote for that?!
