My only thought today as the states’ electoral votes were listed off: they skipped Canada. We’ll fix that next time!

An Edmonton non-profit says it faced an “intense and rapid legal challenge” from city police just days before screening a documentary about Mathios Arkangelo, the man fatally shot by an officer in 2024. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

Only TWO countries retaliated against the U.S. over tariffs: China and Canada. Canada is one of America’s closest allies. It’s time for them to start acting like it.

I had a similar situation this week. A man flew from Kamloops to help his 96 y.o. mother, my constituent, with a # of things including getting a new ID. He called the registry before coming & was told her citizenship docs would be acceptable. On arrival, they said no. #ableg

I was in the backcountry for a few days and came back to some commentary about my leadership campaign. Here’s my response, not as a “liberal lobbyist from out east,” but as a born-and-raised British Columbian and lifelong federal Conservative voter. As someone who cast my ballot for Pierre for party leader, who voted for him again in the last general election, who publicly endorsed him ahead of his leadership review, and who has never had any reason to wish him anything but the greatest success: Let’s set aside the apparent personal disputes, bring people together and win, because Conservatives fighting with each other only helps our adversaries and fails Canadians. Let’s focus on the massive challenges facing everyday citizens and propose a path forward that they can get excited about - a path that’s only possible if Conservatives unite and form government. Let’s be proud of what we stand for as Conservatives, constructive about our nation’s very real difficulties, and welcome those who share our interest in empowering Canadians to live up to their enormous potential. There’s simply too much at stake to do otherwise.

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers.
