Social media regulation, better police co-ordination key to resolving increasingly toxic, hateful political environment, say expertsMPs and experts say there is no way to completely eradicate the worsening harassment and hate experienced by Parliamentarians and other public officials, but by taking a multi-pronged approach, the situation could be improved. A line of gas cans sits on Wellington Street in front of the Prime Minister’s Office on Feb. 9, 2022, as the Freedom Convoy’s occupation of downtown Ottawa entered its second week. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade Multiple experts suggest strategies to combat hate and harassment include better regulation of social media, improved co-ordination and awareness among law enforcement, and improved public education about how the political process actually works—including for disaffected Canadians and young Canadians who are more susceptible to extremism. Michael Wernick, former clerk of the Privy Council Office, said that years ago, only the most prominent politicians with national profiles were the targets of threats and violence. But over the last five to seven years, hate and harassment have spread into relatively obscure constituencies, and MPs are now facing this all the time. “It’s not just MPs, but it’s public health officials, judges—there’s a broader threat to the state here,” said Wernick. “But certainly if you go after politicians, you can drive them out and really damage your democracy.” Former clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, pictured on Feb. 21, 2019. Wernick says the hate and harassment directed towards MPs and other public officials constitutes a ‘broader threat to the state.’ The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade Non-affiliated British Columbia Senator Larry Campbell, who spent decades working as an RCMP officer starting in the early 1970s and who later became British Columbia’s chief coroner and the inspiration behind Da Vinci’s Inquest, told The Hill Times that he’s been “horrified” by what he hears from MPs about the hate they get. “I’ve been in the Senate for over 17 years, and it’s like watching a

Poilievre paints a grim pictureOTTAWA—Groundhog Day for Pierre Poilievre was not a happy one. After several weeks in a news hole, Poilievre finally decided to come out of his hiding place and held a presser in Vancouver. Of course, it would not be in Ottawa. Any journalism student 101 knows that when leaders get off the Hill, questions are softer and more friendly than what they can expect with the national press gallery. So, there weren’t too many tough questions about why Poilievre went into hiding immediately after securing his leadership in a romp. But his message seemed strangely like the one which secured him the leadership. The country is in a mess and only he can fix it. “It feels like everything is broken in this country right now.” Poilievre even blamed a “300 per cent increase in opioid use in Vancouver” on the prime minister. When criticized for lack of media availability, Poilievre became combative. He accused a Radio-Canada journalist of getting his facts wrong when the reporter said Poilievre had not had a press conference in 60 days. He decried the claim that he did not want to meet with the media and expressed interest in speaking to reporters across the country. But he had no time for those on Parliament Hill whom he accused of trying to control the message. It is obvious that Poilievre is not in love with the media. It is also obvious that he thinks by limiting access to reporters in Ottawa, he will be able to shape a more positive message across the country. But the negative messaging at his first major presser was a bad start. By assuming everything in Canada is broken, Poilievre will certainly secure the support of those Canadians who helped his rise to power. He continues to defend the illegal Freedom Convoy and believes that under the current government, nothing in Canada is working very well. In order to broaden his brand, Poilievre needs to reach out to people who still believe there is something good about the country. Most Canadians are feeling the pain of inflation. B

At Centre Ice event, Liberal, Conservative, NDP pundits look to 'build bridges' in federal politics, don't like 'ugly divide' right nowLiberal strategist Amanda Alvaro says appearing at a recent policy conference held by the centre-right Centre Ice Canadians was an “unlikely audience” for her, and despite the balance of the room tilting toward Conservative partisans, she welcomed the invitation as a chance for “building bridges.” The “Kickstarting Canada” conference, held on Oct. 28 in Halifax, was the first event presented by the group since rebranding from Centre Ice Conservatives earlier this year. The group was formed during the Conservative Party leadership race, but organizers say after a policy conference held in Edmonton in August, they heard from centrist voices across the spectrum urging them to change their name and become a home for all Canadian centrists. Since then, the group has “been drinking out of a fire hose of interest,” founder Rick Peterson, a Calgary businessman, told The Hill Times. He said the Halifax conference was sold out, and Centre Ice Canadians now has volunteer organizations set up in every province to facilitate its growth. As part of the move towards broadening its tent, the Halifax conference led off with a panel titled “How to work through politics to develop good policy,” moderated by Conservative strategist Tasha Kheiriddin, alongside Alvaro and NDP strategist Kathleen Monk. The conference remained primarily “a room of Conservatives,” Alvaro told The Hill Times, but she welcomed the invitation from Kheiriddin to join a panel of diverse views Liberal strategist Amanda Alvaro, left, NDP strategist Kathleen Monk, and Conservative strategist Tasha Kheiriddin appear on an Oct. 28 panel at the Centre Ice Canadians conference.

Ford-CUPE feud portrays Tories as ‘black-hearted accountants,’ an image which could harm federal ConservativesSome federal Conservatives are concerned that Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s ongoing labour dispute with CUPE education workers is negative portraying federal Conservatives, and putting them at a disadvantage in the upcoming Mississauga-Lakeshore byelection, say some Conservatives. “The strike and the notwithstanding clause is going to create a perception that these Conservatives are black-hearted accountants,” said one veteran Toronto-area Conservative, who spoke to The Hill Times on a not-for-attribution basis to speak their mind. “This is going to be a serious problem for us in this byelection.” Another Conservative source who is following the byelection closely echoed the same view. Both sources said this is the third time in a general or a byelection since 2018 that Ford’s Progressive Conservatives have hamstrung their federal cousins, given most Ontarians do associate the provincial and federal Conservatives. Sources said the Conservatives were in a similar situation prior to the 2019 federal election because of Ford’s then-controversial budgetary cuts in education, public health, legal aid, child care, library services, and a number of others, which caused a slide in their popularity. This gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) an open shot against then-Conservative leader Andrew Scheer (Regina-Qu’Appelle, Sask.). Prior to the 2021 election, Ford announced publicly that he would stay neutral, and instructed his cabinet ministers and staff not to take any sides. This did not go over well with his federal counterparts, who accused him of rooting for the Liberals. In the 338-member House of Commons, more than one-third of the seats belong to Ontario MPs. The provincial and federal Ontario riding boundaries are almost the same. Ford won the 2018 and 2022 provincial elections with landslide majorities, which does give the federal Conservatives hope. Currently, the Liberals are behind Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s (Carleton, Ont.) party in nation
