It's been nearly one year since Mark Carney became Prime Minister. He made bold promises on the campaign trail and since taking office. Time for a reality check: Does his rhetoric match what Canadians are actually experiencing? Watch👇

#OTD in 1917, the City of London, UK, presented Canada with a parliamentary mace to replace the one lost in the 1916 fire that devastated Parliament. This gift restored a key symbol of the House. ow.ly/T9yh50YvxXy

@cselley Looking forward to his videos on: the religious attire several members of parliament wear or have worn in the House; the prayer the Speaker gives when opening Parliament; the scripture carved into the very buildings of Parliament; the historical roots of bowing to the speaker.

Mark Carney was once named the most influential lay Catholic in the United Kingdom. He talks about his faith openly. We’re supposed to believe he just unclicks the”God” button when he goes into legislator mode.

MORE CARNEY LIES The country with the world’s longest Arctic coastline cannot independently operate in its own northern waters during winter. Canada’s flagship icebreaker, the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, was launched in 1966. She’s 60 years old. She is NOT polar class rated. SIXTY She was supposed to be decommissioned in 2000. Then 2017. She’s still in service because nothing exists to replace her. Many “icebreakers” Carney eludes to ice strengthened patrol boats. Ice strengthened just means they won’t sink if they run into ice. It doesn’t mean they can “break” a thick layer of ice. CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent‘s replacement was announced in 2008. EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO Originally due in 2017. It is now “scheduled” for 2026. No ship has been delivered. The program is old enough to vote. ∙Canada operates nine medium icebreakers, most built in the 1970s and 80s. NONE are polar-class. They handle first-year ice in the St. Lawrence and make summer trips north when conditions allow. ∙Russia operates 40+ icebreaking vessels including eight nuclear-powered heavy icebreakers, with ten more planned by 2035. Canada has zero nuclear icebreakers. ∙Total cost for Canada’s two replacement polar icebreakers: C$4.4 billion. Estimated delivery: 2030 and 2032. If you believe those dates, I have a Northwest Passage to sell you. ∙One of the two replacements is being built in Finland, at a shipyard that was Russian-owned until Davie acquired it in 2023. Canada’s answer to Russian Arctic dominance is literally being constructed in a former Russian yard. ∙Mark Carney just announced C$35 billion in Arctic funding. But the purpose of a system is what it does. And what Canada’s system does is produce announcements and press releases, not ships.​​​​​​​​​​ True polar class ships in service capable of breaking thick Arctic ice? 🇺🇸 One heavy (Polar Star, commissioned 1976) Two medium (Healy, commissioned 1999/2000, and Storis, a converted commercial vessel commissioned August 2025). 🇨🇦 Canada has zero polar-class icebreakers. So no, @MarkJCarney, you may (or may not) have the second most ice strengthened vessels… but true icebreakers capable of real polar security service? USA’s pathetic fleet is #2 in the world.

It seems that Michael Ma designed his rapid fire questions at me so they could be used by Chinese state media showing that he went up against a critic of the regime. That’s what Chinese state media is reporting. It failed spectacularly here, but state media won’t report that.

It should be noted that New Zealand (as @acoyne notes, a country retaining parliamentary sovereignty) imposes life sentences without parole on multiple murderers. New Zealand does not require s. 33, as its courts cannot say (as ours have) that this infringes an entrenched right.

⛸️ Nice to see families and neighbours out enjoying time together on the ice during my free community skate at the Georgina Ice Palace in Keswick. Was great having Elpida Cafe & Roastery providing hot chocolate! 🗓️ Get ready for my final community skate happening this Saturday (March 28) at the Rick McLeish Memorial Community Center in Cannington from 9:30 am – 11:30 am. RSVP here: jacobmantlemp.ca/skate

Canada has a productivity crisis. The CD Howe Institute said it's "a 4-alarm emergency", and now we know that investment per worker has declined 25% since the Liberals took office. Lower investment yesterday than today means declining productivity and lower wages tomorrow. Removing the industrial carbon tax would eliminate a serious drag on business investment, will they do it?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Despite fierce opposition from Conservatives — and despite thousands of concerned Canadians and faith leaders from every background sounding the alarm — the Liberals and Bloc Québécois have just passed Bill C-9 through the House of Commons. I voted against Bill C-9 to protect the free expression and freedom of religion of all Canadians. These shouldn't be partisan issues, they are Canadian values; values worth defending.

I may sound like a broken record, but some truths bear repeating, Bill C-9 is an assault on free expression and freedom of religion. I tabled yet another petition from my residents asking the government to withdraw Bill C-9

The @cpso_ca reiterates its policy of falsifying euthanasia death certificates. "The certificate cannot include any reference to MAID or the medications administered."

Race is one of the "primary criteria" when @LegalAidOntario is deciding whether a person is eligible for representation by the org's senior counsel. In 2024-25, the LAO was 57% funded by the government. Taxation may be colourblind, but the services Ontarians support are not.

Conservatives presented a sensible plan for Canada's auto sector, but the Liberals rejected our proposals and have yet to present viable alternatives. Today, in the House of Commons, at least one Liberal member said that the auto sector would just have to "wait it out". That's not a serious plan.

🚨 'I want to warn you, Mr. Speaker… I may read today from a very dangerous book.' That book? The Bible. A book the government now wants to treat as hate speech. Watch my full speech on Bill C-9 here. 👇 Etched into the very rock of Centre Block, just steps from the House of Commons, are more than two dozen Scriptures. Our national motto 'From Sea to Sea' comes straight from Psalms. How can a nation literally carved from biblical truths now seek to criminalize those truths through Bill C-9? In this full speech, I expose how the Liberals' Faustian bargain with the Bloc removes long-standing good-faith protections for sincere religious expression, ignores centuries of Western commitment to fearless speech, and replaces debate with 'just trust us.' The antidote to hatred is not censorship. It is more speech. More truth. More freedom. Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Will you defend it?

It was a pleasure to attend the chili cook-off at Community Pentecostal Church in Beaverton. Events like these are a great reminder of community. From the friendly competition to the warm conversations, it was clear that community spirit is alive in Beaverton. Thank you to Pastor David and his team for organizing this event.

Joined @PierrePoilievre in NYC to help share a positive message for continued cooperation between our two great nations on the things that matter: the economy, our security, and jobs for our people. @Roman_Baber

This week I joined members of the Stouffville Ministerial to discuss Bill C-9 and the importance of recognizing and protecting freedom of religion. Appreciated the opportunity to connect with faith leaders from churches across the local area and hear their perspectives.

Visited the Shobrook Gardens Community in Uxbridge to spend time with residents and gather with fellow Christians for worship and a short devotional. Thankful for the opportunity to connect and share in faith together.

Will the Chief Justice recuse himself? The Carney gov’t’s appeal of the Emergencies Act decision to the SCC puts the Chief Justice’s impartiality directly at issue. @PardyBruce nationalpost.com/opinion/bruce-…
