Republican Politics Enjoyer

BREAKING: Alpha News has obtained cellphone footage showing perspective of federal agent at center of ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis

It is with humility and appreciation that I have accepted Damien Kurek’s offer to resign his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot so that I can work to earn the support of citizens there to serve them in Parliament. Damien’s selfless act to step aside temporarily as a Member of Parliament shows his commitment to change and restoring Canada’s promise. I will work to earn the trust of the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot and I will continue to hold the Liberal minority government to account until the next federal election, when we will bring real change to all Canadians.

I want to commend Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada for delivering material gains — in both votes and seats — and for forming a principled, strong opposition. Millions of Canadians rallied behind Pierre’s message of affordability, freedom, and common sense. Across Canada, and especially here in BC, I am encouraged to see the emergence of an energized, strengthened, and durable Conservative movement that includes more young Canadians, new Canadians, and blue collar Canadians than ever before. For our broader movement to have the best chance to succeed, I believe Conservatives must support Conservatives at all levels of government. It takes political courage, but I believe — if conservative parties are aligned on policy and approach — it’s the right thing to do. I am proud that here in BC, our team of MLAs spent time calling, organizing, and advocating for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party of Canada. To every candidate who put their name forward, to every volunteer who gave their time, and to every Canadian who voted for change — I want to personally thank you. The future of Canada’s conservative movement is bigger than any one election. Now, in BC, we must turn our attention to renewing and reworking Confederation to create the conditions for the West — and especially BC — to thrive, as well as restoring self-reliance, and rebuilding trust in the promise of BC and Canada: the simple idea that BC and Canada are a land of opportunity and prosperity where you and your family can work hard and get ahead. For all Conservatives in BC, our work continues now — and we will not stop. Finally, I want to acknowledge Prime Minister Mark Carney for securing a narrow minority mandate in this remarkably close election. While I did not support a fourth term for his Liberal government, this is the choice Canadians have made. This government now bears the responsibility of delivering results in a country that is more divided, more strained, and more urgently demanding change than ever before — we will all be watching closely, for the future of BC and Canada the stakes have never been higher.
