@RoyceKoop Over 60% in the last bi-elections. The MPs who have confidence in the government were duly elected to make their decisions.

This is an outrageous misrepresentation of how parliamentary committees are formed.
Committees should be constructed to reflect the composition of the House of Commons as determined by Canadians. The voters spoke in the last election and gave the Liberals a minority.
Canada is still a democracy.
We have never seen a government transform a minority into a majority via enticing opposition members to cross the floor. MacKinnon's "long-standing principle" is one day old, invented post-hoc to justify the Liberals' power grab.
I have never seen a government do more damage to our parliamentary institutions than this one.

Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon announces motion to take control of committees: "In Parliament, there is a long-standing principle. A party that has the majority of seats in the House also has a majority in committees. This is at the core of our Westminster system of government."

@elevatereport Pierre is like fingernails on a chalkboard. He is annoying. He is unaffected. He is like Charlie Browns teacher. blah blah blah. No substance.
English
I think Pierre is actually getting under his skin.
Carney's ego is more fragile than I suspected.
We'll see how this plays out.

@dkreative1 Parliament shouldn't be for sound bites. Questions should be serious, answers should be listened to, MPs should not sound like yelping seals.
Your attack dog leader is leading in the wrong direction.
English
@RomanFisher__ Until your party members learn to treat QP as something more than seals clapping behind their ilegitamate leader, it will never be an effective use of time.
English
Apparently the PM doesn’t go to QP because he has better things to do than fulfill his duties as a parliamentary and head of government.
Why does he get to decide what questions are worthy of his time? If he thinks they’re foolish questions, that’s for Canadians to decide for themselves. It’s incumbent upon him to be present in the HoC chamber.
The PM wants a frictionless environment where he holds unbridled power over the levers of an expanding state. Everything he’s done since becoming PM has been to consolidate power.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
LPC MP Ben Carr on the PM not attending QP: "If the Leader of the Opposition took Question Period a little bit more seriously as opposed to just being a factory for clips... perhaps it might elicit something different."
English
Prime Minister:
There was someone perfectly capable. He was critical of your government’s “stupefying” spending.
So you fired him.
I think context matters.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney
I welcome the appointment of Annette Ryan as Canada’s new Parliamentary Budget Officer. With more than 25 years of experience in economic analysis, fiscal policy, taxation, and public finance, Ms. Ryan will provide the rigorous, independent analysis that parliamentarians need to hold the government accountable and safeguard Canada’s public finances.

@AndrewLawton In the 2 Ontario bi-elections last week the Liberals had more than 60% of the votes.
Confidence in the government is growing. Voters kicked PP to the curb but your kwasi leadership review ignored them.
Who is really not listening to the voters?
English
The Liberals got less than 44% of the votes in the last election.
Thanks to their aggressive recruitment of floor-crossers, they now have 51.4% of the seats in the House of Commons.
They now seek to ram through changes that will give them 58% of the seats on committees.
Steven MacKinnon@stevenmackinnon
Our government is committed to working hard on an ambitious agenda to build Canada strong. Liberals now comprise a majority of MPs in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government are determined to work constructively both in the House and in parliamentary committees. There is an undeniable, long-standing principle in Parliament: a party that has the majority of seats in the House also has a majority in committees. For that reason, I intend to give notice of a motion that reflects this principle to be considered in the House in the coming days.
English
@LarryBrockMP Larry, now that you cannot dominate committees, we may see some bills pass through parliament. Due to insufficient funding for provincial jails, bail is still a problem in our riding. Ford has a 20 year plan to fix the over capacity. Maybe you should be talking to @WillBoumaBrant
English
It’s the same story every time: Liberals talking tough while delivering nothing.
Violent crime is up 55%, and Canadians watch everyday as repeat offenders walk free with judicial discounts instead of real consequences.
When it mattered, the Liberals voted against our common-sense proposals like Jail Not Bail, consecutive sentences, and One Law For All.
How many more Canadians have to suffer because of a failed justice system before these Liberals admit their failure and stop giving criminals judicial discounts?

@DeanAllisonMP Trump has only reach Agreement with 9 countries. The rest are only frameworks being negotiated.
English
I hit a Liberal nerve with this one
Dean Allison@DeanAllisonMP
If your job depends on Canada-US trade, Carney thinks your job is a weakness
English
@DeanAllisonMP No you hit yourself with it...just goes to show how much you don't think we should stand up for Canada.

When I read this story I didn't think it was news, more a restatement of what has become clear - Trump will ask for pre-concessions, pocket them, and reprice the actual negotiations. Or make a "deal" and then cancel or vary it.

BREAKING: Trump demands "entry fee" from Canada to BEGIN CUSMA negotiations.

@brianlilley U.S. Demands 'Entry Fee' Concessions from Canada Before CUSMA Review Talks
Pay to play....Trump is consumed with power and wealth.
English
Have you noted Mark Carney's hypocrisy in warning Canadians about being too close to the United States while he himself is fully invested there?

@MarcNixon24 Terrified? Laughing is more like it. He's a clown! He couldn't even win his own riding like Joe Clark did. Joe at least remained prime minister for 9 months!
English
@Momoftwo45i @MarcNixon24 You honestly don't understand what socialists stand for and unlike PP's rhetoric, what Canadians want is a socialist democracy. When Pierre calls for the government to build more pipelines and oil reserves, that is Socialism. He just doesn't understand.
English
@MarcNixon24 This is the reason I voted for him, I will vote for him. I would never vote for a socialist, big government . It is oppression dressed in pretty cloths. Power of people for people.
English
This is the reason the Liberals are TERRIFIED of Pierre Poilievre and want him GONE
He Stand For FREEDOM

@MarcNixon24 Marc Nixon: shit for brains. Fiscal conservatives want Poilievre gone today! Poilievre's roster of X bloggers are part of the problem. Poilievre is finished. Get over your butt hurt and deal with reality.
English
@MarcNixon24 Is freedom found in wealth divide favouring the rich?
Is freedom found in death, pain and suffering due to poverty?
Is freedom found in debt for healthcare and education?
Is freedom found in loss of rights, equality, equity?

@AndrewScheer Bill C-14 Bail reform has been stalled by your committee antics for over a year. You claim that the government has done nothing on this file while you actively fight any movement forward.
All you work to do for the past 10 years was to bring the government down.
English
Instead of focusing on making life more affordable for Canadians, Carney is using precious time in the House to make life easier for Liberals.
They are giving themselves the power to shut down investigations into Liberal corruption; to block the release of documents; to hear from whistleblowers.
We know what Liberals do when they think they won’t get caught (Green Slush Fund, ArriveScam, Indigenous procurement).
Carney is proving to be just another Liberal. Stacking the deck to avoid accountability.
Shame.

@AndrewScheer Your don't investigate corruption, you bring the same questions to every committee to dominate, stall and obstruct. Any "investigation" you refer to 3rd parties fall flat because it is just air...talking points...sound bites.
