Is it gaslighting, when the new CPC leader uses his background in the military as a selling point for his party - when he was Canada's Veterans Affairs Minister under former CPC PM Harper? After all, Harper's govt hurt vets: killed pensions, shut offices, cut benefits, sat on $$

- by the way, I have respect for those who served in Canada's military - I just think it's odd that CPC leader O'Toole is trading off on this, considering his complicity in Harper's poor record in the veterans' file

adding to this thread, seems relevant IMO. A screenshot from video posted on E O'T TL (note: I blocked out the neg ad wording - not wishing to amplify it)
The implication in his ad, by wearing an RCAF jacket, is that all RCAF voters align with the CPC's messaging

In QP yesterday (Nov 25, 2020), Erin O'Toole made a joke about Vet's all offices being closed rn. Unfeeling AND misleading. They're still providing services to Vets. Check third tweet in this linked thread https://twitter.com/KathrynMathias1/status/1331691404557316097?s=19

adding this, in reference to yesterday's Question Period in the House of Commons, Nov. 25, 2020 = relevant to the theme of this thread https://twitter.com/KathrynMathias1/status/1332137491596410880?s=20

adding this (see linked thread. h/t @TOAdamVaughan) to my pinned tweet-thread. Seems relevant, since the CPC leader uses 'RCAF' and 'Take Canada Back' in the same meme - and my thread is about objecting to his appropriation of the CAF https://twitter.com/TOAdamVaughan/status/1347597088775929857?s=20

Think this tweet belongs in my pinned tweet-thread about Erin O'Toole's use of his CAF background, when having a bad track record with vets https://twitter.com/JessieTweeting/status/1348652276550922241?s=20

adding a screenshot of the CPC leader's post from today. Not only is he incorrect with his statement, but he's also interfering with the independent branch of Health Canada, as well as the work of Procurement Min Anand - while wearing Canadian Military clothing

in other words, regarding tweet 12/, does the Canadian Armed Forces @CanadianForces really want the CPC leader to be wearing his military jacket while politicizing and being disingenuous about vaccine procurement & distribution?
