Whether you're in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Timmins, or Halifax, or anywhere in between, you should be able to order any Canadian-made beer, wine, or spirits of your choice. Conservative MP @DanAlbas has introduced Bill C-262 to remove roadblocks and let Canada Post deliver alcohol anywhere in Canada.

70% of our food is made in Canada, but we still face the worst food inflation among G7 countries. It's a made-in-Canada Liberal hunger crisis, with people unable to afford their groceries. To fix it, let's boost competition, eliminate hidden Liberal grocery taxes, and cut inflationary deficits so families can buy affordable food again: conservative.ca/cpc/stop-the-l…

Conservatives condemn the 20-year prison sentence imposed on Jimmy Lai by the PRC and the government of Hong Kong, simply for exercising his freedom of speech, assembly, and association. We stand in solidarity with him and the people of Hong Kong and call for his immediate and unconditional release.

Conservatives call for the immediate release of newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai following Hong Kong’s imposition of an unjust 20-year prison sentence. My statement below. #cdnpoli

Today, we honour those that served and continue to serve, and remember the sacrifice of the many Canadians who didn’t come home. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay [Passchendaele, 1917. Canadian War Museum]

Polls, not the national interest, are what’s driving the Carney govt’s trade talks with the US, according to Minister Leblanc’s own words. Public opinion is driven by emotion. A government should be driven by rational decision making.

We should be the richest country in the world. But Canada's current standard of living is lower than it was in 2019—while the U.S. saw an 11% increase over the same period. Liberal taxes, inflation and red-tape drive investment and jobs south while crushing the value Canadians paycheques and taking 42% of what's left. Mark Carney's handout & bailout economy is making a small group of elite rich by making everyone else poor. Unlock free enterprise, cut spending & taxes, restore sound money to enrich all our people. fraserinstitute.org/commentary/can…

The Harper government made a huge effort to diversify Canadian export markets, in part to reduce our over-dependence on the US market. We signed new trade agreements with 39 countries, moving Canada from 6 to 45 free trade agreements between 2006-2015. That included free trade with most of Europe and Asia through CETA and TPP. This helped marginally to diversify our exports away from the US, but then the Liberal government oversaw a huge increase in our dependence on the US during the Lost Decade. While they were busy hammering our resource industries, the “progressive” Liberal trade agenda was focussed on promoting DEI and ESG language in annexes to existing agreements, rather than hard nosed commercial negotiations and market expansion. Now we’re paying the price. The single biggest thing Canada could do to diversify our exports and improve our balance of trade would be to build coastal oil and gas pipelines and LNG terminals, moving our energy to fungible global commodity markets. That would increase our exports to the world by tens of billions of dollars. But instead of doing that hard work, it’s a lot easier to send Ministers to an endless circuit of summits and conferences to virtue signal with cliché talking points about our “progressive” trade agenda. This chart is what that approach has given us: much more dependence on an unreliable, protectionist American market.

Wow! This is the period that Mark Carney was the top guy at Brookfield. His investments show how much he believes in Canada.

Who has been in charge in Canada over the last 10 years? We’ve had anemic growth under Trudeau, who was advised by Carney on the economy, for the last 10 years. As our peer countries grew, got richer, we barely kept our heads above water.
