Episode 4: 112 Social Media posts to 136,000 followers! Our Riding? Not So Much

Image
You read that right, folks. My MP Michelle Ferreri posted 112+ times in 5 days Nov 18-22/24 on her 3 official MP social media channels, reaching 136,000 followers.  Those 5 days cost taxpayers just under $20,000 in salary and expenses, based on tracking her spending since being elected. What did our Riding get? Well, let's Examine that. Flooding her channels with videos, statements, attacks on female colleagues, Committee expert witnesses and re-shares, her point is to overwhelm - no one can keep up with 22 posts/day from your elected MP, each one designed to leave you on edge, looking for sources, trying to make meaning out of the rage she's baiting you with.  Personally, I can come to a few conclusions. Conservative support numbers are bad, Poilievre is still the only Party leader to not have a top level security clearance, she's working hard to remain on Poilievre's front bench, Liberal progress is astoundingly positive and the Foreign Interference Inquiry report is ...

Episode 3: 96.3% of Riding Businesses Don't Want to "Axe the Tax"

Well folks, our Riding of Peterborough-Kawartha finally got some attention from our MP Michelle Ferreri this week. It doesn't come off as planned though, nor as she presents it on her social media feeds. Shocker. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business spent the week on The Hill, meeting with many MPs and Senators. The CFIB is one of the most frequent and largest lobby groups, and was a darling of Stephen Harper, who according to this 2016 Maclean's article said, in rough translation, "I love you guys. And I'm willing to do whatever you want to show it." Their meeting with our MP Michelle Ferreri was but one of many last week. After the meeting, she of course posted proof on her socials, and true to form, makes it sound like the Liberal government is dreadful and that everyone is against our current government. Its all she does. But when you dig in, which you have to do with this MP, it really does backfire. You see, according to the 2024 Business Count ...

Episode 2: e-Petition Author, sponsored by Ferreri, celebrates at Trump rally in Georgia

In the aftermath of the US election, its enticing to give up.  But then a social media post surfaces that strengthens our resolve. "Melissa Anne", on the right (literally) in her own Facebook post, is unemployed Melissa Outwater, Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri's constituent responsible for leading the e-petition to initiate one of several failed non-confidence votes to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. To note: as an MP, Michelle Ferreri can initiate a non-confidence vote on her own at any time. Ferreri's e-petition stunt, in line with and complementary to Conservative messaging, used taxpayer money, both in her own Riding and in her Ottawa office, as well as Parliamentary resources to sponsor, draft, promote and certify this e-petition to get it on to the House of Commons floor and into the Parliamentary record.  It then required additional staff to provide a Government response in both official languages.  How much did that cost taxpayers? Ferreri hosted Ms. Out...

Episode 1: MP Ignores Victim Experience While Excusing Perpetrator Behavior!

After 22 hours of Status of Women Committee meetings and countless hours of private meetings on Intimate Partner Violence, Femicide and Coercive Control, Ferreri sends employee out to answer for her ludicrous comments that tax cuts will save victims and homeless people are criminals. MP Ferreri shows she has no grasp of the topic and hasn't been listening to victims or expert testimony AT ALL. But she sure has gotten a lot of anti-Trudeau video clips.  Her comments and behavior completely negate victim experiences while at the same time excuses perpetrator behavior.
