And that’s a wrap on this year’s Calgary Stampede!

Two days until CSFN Vancouver 2026. Panels, keynotes, a live Conservative Party of BC leadership debate, and an evening networking reception, all this Friday at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. Didn't register online? You can register on site. Don't miss it. #CSFNVancouver2026

If there is one political event defining spring 2026 in Canada, it is CSFN Ottawa 2026. May 6 to 9 at the Westin Ottawa, the Canada Strong and Free Network is bringing together the thinkers, leaders, and decision-makers who are serious about where this country goes next. Canada's sovereignty, its economic future, its role on the world stage: these are not abstract debates right now. They are immediate questions demanding real answers. The speaker lineup reflects that urgency. Mike Pompeo brings a front-row perspective on global power and what it demands of allies like Canada. Jason Kenney has been at the center of the battles over energy, federalism, and national identity for decades. Magatte Wade challenges the policy assumptions that keep nations from reaching their potential. Tristin Hopper cuts through the noise on the stories that actually define this country. Jasmin Laine adds a perspective that connects Canadian values to the broader democratic moment happening across the Western world. This is not a conference for people who think things are fine. It is a gathering for people who know Canada can do better and are willing to do something about it. @mikepompeo @jkenney @magattew @TristinHopper @JasminLaine_ Registration is now open: canadastrongandfree.network/date/csfn-otta… #CSFNOttawa #CanadaStrongAndFree #Ottawa2026 #CDNPoli

In his Economic Club speech, @PierrePoilievre made the compelling case for a stoic approach to confronting Trump & an unstable world. Focus on what you can control, strengthen yourself, build sovereignty by building unbreakable leverage. We could use a dose of national stoicism:

Had a blast with these amazing women!! @alex0spence @mferreriptbokaw @SandraCobena_

"In an age where optics move faster than facts, a single photo of someone unknowingly wearing one of these buttons... is enough to mislead the public about the conference’s tone and purpose," writes @ariellakimmel #cdnelxn #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/2025/04/18/why…

I have been getting a lot of questions about what happened at #CSFN25 @canstrongfree this year: 1. I can indeed confirm that #CSFN25 was the largest and best attended conference in our history. 2. We heard from movement conservative leaders from all over the world. 3. It's true: I lost my voice. Almost back now. 4. It appears even some Liberals paid to attend. The more the merrier. But next time, save the buttons- aren't you guys against single use plastics !?!?!

Good to be gathered with almost a thousand fellow conservatives at the #CSFN25 @canstrongfree conference, hearing from @bariweiss and @Baird on free speech, antisemitism, and finding consensus in an increasingly polarized world. #cdnpoli

Seems odd if press secretaries from other political parties are not recording scrums and monitoring what reporters are asking MPs… That sort of a key part of the job.

Talk about an end of an era...

This week, I was thrilled to witness @jamiljivani be sworn in as Member of Parliament for Durham. Jamil has been a tireless leader and community advocate, and will be a strong voice for Durham and a wonderful contribution to the Conservative team. Congratulations, Jamil!
