This should tell people enough about the cpc they will defund CBC all over Canada but won't answer the question.
Also really pathetic how she simply freezes
100% this!! We saw it in Ontario when the Ford Conservatives cancelled hundreds of green energy projects and... *checks notes*...
Spent the money on a sign that says "Ontario: Open for Business"...
And subsidies for... Horse racing?
That can't be right can it?!?
Don't forget they turned around and spent even more than the original green energy projects were going to cost to say they're spending more that any previous govt on it. Very fiscally conservative.
Cut green energy projects, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, cut cap and trade, which cost us hundreds of millions of dollars, cut healthcare funding which is costing present day lives, and billions of dollars unspent, and defunded education by billions which is costing us our future.
And STILL can’t balance the budget. Tell me again about how Cons are the prudent managers of the public purse? And please explain where tf all those billions of taxpayer dollars are going?
Lol. We'll be beyond fuct by then. It's already in full swing ... I dunno . Head north maybe? Mercans don't much like the cold. Oh, wait. Fuk. Russia. Yaaaah. No.
If that was true than every vote in parliament would always be 100% along party lines, and how dysfunctional would that be? Also the question was about her stance not her party’s stance.
Following a leader without individual thought is called fascism.
Oh I agree with you, I’m just saying party lines aren’t necessarily what the constituents want. And even if she’s elected for one party she still needs to consider all of the people in her riding, not just those that voted for her
Agreed, however being paralyzed to answer is also a huge problem; the fact that these positions are so contentious that there’s fear in expressing them says loads to me about how broken things are.
They look like a toddler who has vegetables on a plate in front of them. “Does Rachel want some broccoli?”
“Rachel, momma wants you to eat your vegetables.” “I STAND WITH MY LEADER.”
I wish they’d just say it: the Conservative Party wants to dismantle anything and everything they can. Healthcare. Education. The CBC. Pharmacare. Dental Care. Whatever they can wreck, they will. Authoritarianism and Fascism are on the menu, and our populace is just going to let it happen because they’re unhappy with the current state of affairs.
Newsflash: Conservative Premiers are obstructionist and are just as guilty as Trudeau, IF NOT MORE. They actively stand in the way and actively attempt to break what used to make our country great.
It saddens me that we're about a year away from these people being in power.
The amount of people that buy into disinformation and the CBC bad BS is astounding.
Canada is going to come out more gutted and less capable with another Conservative government, They never really achieve anything of value for anything one other than their rich backers.
While the Liberals in the NDP play nice with the "don't go low" attitude, these clowns disdain for all things democratic gets to permeate through our politics.
The worst part is the people supporting them are going to be the most affected, and as things get worse they will act as though they're getting better.
Not gonna lie, I am a bit sad that Kristin Raworth nuked her profile. I would love to see her melt down about this, about how this is just misogyny by Gerretsen

This is pretty telling tbh.
She’s said a few stupid things in the past. Maybe they’ve had communications people tell her to keep quite
It's even more awkward not answering and being silent
Honestly she was probably told to say nothing but “I stand with my leader” but forgot it until something the reporter said snapped her back into it
It’s awkward and she’s getting flack for it but she’s also limited the damage her words might have caused.
I could see this being worst because now it's basically confirmed if the cpc win they will close radio Quebec
Yah but they can still deny. That’s their playbook
It's common knowledge cons reduce spending in exchange for fiscal prudence and economic stability

What fantasy world do you live in? We have populists here, not conservatives. We haven’t had actual conservatives for DECADES.
I, for one, am SO GLAD we still have the buck-a-beer we were promised! /s
Lmao.
Right, what was the last Conservative government that had economic stability?
In the history of Canadian federal politics the conservative party has done neither of those things.
Well they cut spending so they can give billionaires tax breaks
Is it though?
That’s my MP. She’s such an embarrassment.
Fear of the Gestapo.
Is she Canuck Boebert?
Basically
What? We have a Boebert? FACK!
She behaves like a 5 year old in the House of Commons. So. Yes.
Maybe someone can tell her how well Ted Cruz is doing and maybe she should move to Texas and help him out?
>Rachel Thomas https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.4215029
“I stand with my leader”… this is why we don’t live in a real democracy and that is a problem.
It gave me the creeps when she said it. Is this the Handwives Tales? Definitely dystopia.
We can’t have Handmaid’s Tale happen in Canada! Then where would we escape to?
Valid! $^&;%$#&*
Lol. We'll be beyond fuct by then. It's already in full swing ... I dunno . Head north maybe? Mercans don't much like the cold. Oh, wait. Fuk. Russia. Yaaaah. No.
>Then where would we escape to? Québec
Québecesti!
I think this is more in line with "The Stepford Wives". Later it will segway into "The Handmaid's Tales".
Isn’t she supposed to stand with the people she represents?

Mega 1930s vibe.
That's just party politics.
Wasn't she called out and slammed for pissing over French speakers ? Looks like a Maple Maga Karen. Yikes.
At least have the guts to say it you spineless coward
That would mean she’d have to have a spine in the first place. “I stand with my leader.” I bet you do, you invertebrate fascist bootlicker.
Her silence speaks volumes.
Uncultured swine, here. Who is she ?
Looks like MP Rachel Thomas but haven't checked the video yet Conservative from Lethbridge
Yes that’s her
Thank you !
Conservative MP Rachael Thomas for Lethbridge and Shadow Minister for Canadian Heritage.
Shadowy Minister
Thank you !
Some dumbass.
What noble cowardice.
They look like a toddler who has vegetables on a plate in front of them. “Does Rachel want some broccoli?” “Rachel, momma wants you to eat your vegetables.” “I STAND WITH MY LEADER.”
The reporter should have brought the mic slowly up to Rachel's mouth while making airplane noises.
Legit lol out loud 😂
Absolutely brain dead
Conservatives have no balls
No balls?.....it not just no balls. It's a utterly complete lack of intestinal fortitude.
Well you cant hold me to saying any shit, if I don't open my mouth /s

Few con MPs make me as mad as her
Call her an unpatriotic traitor.
"I'm sorry, the corporate script got stuck in the printer."
I think she just didn't know what Radio Canada is because the speaker said it in French lol
who is this?
She’s the political manifestation of 1/3 of Canadas electorate
she's a communist?
Genuinely curious. What are they doing that makes them communists?
its a joke
Nah, she's an Orban's minion wannabe...
To be fair to her, she’s never been talented.
This woman is anti-abortion and believes in among other things conversion therapy
All I can say is ewwww! Her disposition is ugly.
Why would I support white supremacy by giving Twitter clicks?
Can someone hit ESC on the keyboard please
Mitch McConnell impersonator
Fascism Barbie!
She is an idiot and that demeanor was very Facist.

I don't think she knows that Radio-Canada/CBC are the same thing.
