We should be making sure older people know Poilievre will try to take away their CPP and OAS. And privatize as much of their health care as he can.

I'm more concerned about what a PP conservative government would take away from my kids.

The fact that his party still refuses to acknowledge the reality of climate change is a huge problem.

But far from the only one.

The party's ongoing support for reversing support for LGBT folks, their leaning into criminal justice methods that have been provenrepeatedly not to work, their embracing of trickle down economic policies... there is a lot to not like about the party and its leader.

Argue all those points. Each one hits a different group, so cater your message to the group you're talking to. Parents to the withdrawal of public school and daycare funding, climate change to young voters, the privatization of healthcare and how private healthcare is several times more expensive wherever public healthcare doesn't exist to older people and those with illnesses like diabetes, the fact that they hate non-standard heteros for LGBT.

The Cons only exist for hypercapitalists, so simply tell people the thing that they're worried about the most and how the Cons will actively hurt their greatest interest. They even hate resource workers, because despite Alberta being the richest province in the country, the people are some of the poorest because all the money gets taken away from the workers and put into the pockets of billionaires due to having some of the lowest tax rates in the country.

Each one hits a different group,

All of the points I mention are among the ones that matter to me and my family personally.
