Our Budget Meeting - Selkirk, MB

If you’re in Selkirk, MB or the surrounding area, check out our Facebook event for the Our Budget meeting happening on June 20!

#24in24 Update

Some great work going on with our #24in24 / #24en24 social media rally against Bill C-38.

- #ourbudget &notrebudget had been tweeted 4,000 times in less than 24 hours

- #24in24 and #24en24 had been tweeted more than 2,000 times in less than 24 hours

It’s been inspiring for all of us in the House to see you rally against C-38 with us. Voting started later than anticipated, so I’m asking you to keep at it until we’re done.

Please keep tweeting/posting:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Until at least midnight tonight (EST). Let’s keep letting the Harper government know that they can’t pass this Trojan Horse without a fight. This is Our Budget — not theirs!

Conservative MPs on Twitter

If you would like a list of Conservative MPs on Twitter to include in your #24in24 tweets, you can check out the following link (thanks to Victoria Radbourne for posting this on the page).

There have been lots of great tweets over the past 17 hours. A strong message being sent. What are some of your favourites?

#24in24 Tips

Some tips for our upcoming #24in24 social media rally. Dave Jarvis has instructions on how you can “autotweet” so you don’t have to stay up all night with us protesting this Trojan Horse Bill: http://davidjarvis.ca/autotweet/

Also, Vancouver-based social media dashboard HootSuite has a scheduling function that will allow you to schedule both tweets and Facebook posts for the 24 hour period. And you can sign up for a HootSuite account for free.

Either option should help you participate in our social media rally. T-minus 4.5 hours until we remind the Harper government over and over again for 24 hours that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

Final Update: 24 Tweet in 24 Hours to Stand Up for Canadian Democracy

Update: it looks like voting on C-38 will start today at 7:00pm Eastern. So that’s when we’ll aim to start our social media chant.

Again, the idea is starting at 5:30pm, tweet or post on Facebook the following:

#ourbudget not yours #ourbudget not yours #13heroes #splititup save our pensions save our shores #C38 #cdnpoli #24in24

Keep tweeting and posting that every hour for the entirety of the debate on Bill C-38 (expected to be 24 hours).

Let’s stand up, speak out, and remind the Harper government that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

Here’s a video from Canadian musical up and comer Dan Mangan addressing his concerns with Bill C-38.

The Conservatives' arrogance will come back to bite them

Den Tandt nails it: the Conservatives’ arrogance will come back to bite them. Though I’m not sure we’ll have to wait very long. Tomorrow we’re going to watch as this government’s arrogance bites them for 24 hours straight.

And we’ll be there, the whole time, with you on social media, reminding the Harper that this is Our Budget — not theirs!

C-38: A Breach of Privilege?

Here is the transcript of my point of privilege in the House earlier today. The fact that this government refuses to release vital information about the “budget” they’ve presented clearly demonstrates the fact they’ve forgotten that this is Our Budget, not theirs.

It’s time that we remind them of that fact — loud and clear.
