“On behalf of Canada’s 60,000 beef producers, the Canadian Cattle Association is deeply troubled by the adoption of Bill C-202 through Parliament.
“Bill C-202, same as Bill C-282 before it and Bill C-216 before that, undermines Canada’s reputation as a reliable trading partner and threatens our credibility at a time of growing global uncertainty. We are extremely concerned that the bill was fast-tracked by Members of Parliament through unanimous consent with no consultation and no debate. At a time when Canada should be focused on strengthening trade diversification and opening new markets for Canadian goods, we are disappointed to see Canada’s Parliamentarians prioritize protectionism through legislation.
“Trade is not a political game and C-202 was never about supply management. At its core, Bill C-202 is bad trade policy. Canada’s economy depends on exports, and further growth will require expanding them. Population and consumption growth are happening worldwide and the global demand for protein is growing. The Canadian beef sector exports $7 billion dollars annually. Our beef farmers and ranchers are ready to meet growing global demand and will need support from our government to help us take advantage of these opportunities and help meet that global demand. We look forward to new market growth and development, and to government addressing regulations and non-tariff barriers that impact existing trade agreements.
“Canada’s beef sector contributes $21.8 billion to Canada’s GDP and creates almost 350,000 full-time equivalent jobs throughout our sector. We are a critical part of Canada’s rural economy and national economy. CCA will continue to work with the government to achieve our trade objectives as a sector poised for economic growth across Canada.”

Dear Pierre,
On behalf of all 400,000 Jews in this country—yes, even the Liberal ones—I want to offer a message not of thanks, but of solidarity and recognition. In a political climate where moral clarity is rare and courage even rarer, you have stood tall. You’ve condemned Hamas for what they are: a genocidal terrorist organization. You’ve stood with Israel, with the Jewish people, and with truth itself—without flinching.
Let’s be honest: politically, this gains you nothing. There’s no electoral calculus that tells a politician to stand up for Jews. And yet, you do. That’s not politics. That’s conviction. That’s leadership. And it cuts through all the noise.
We see it. We remember it. And we back it.
Sincerely,
A small-town Canadian mayor who refuses to stay silent.

Why in the world would you want the government to build your home? If they were good at this, FN reserves would have the best housing in this country. They can't get safe reliable drinking water to FN communities. Let's start there!

This Conservative Ad is 🔥
No wonder Donald Trump is backing Mark Carney and the Liberals.

Building homes should never be the government's business.
Maintaining the economic conditions in which sufficient homes are built to meet demand is the government's job.
Yours has failed, repeatedly and completely.

The Government of Canada announced March 22 a proposal to increase compensation through its AgriStability program from the previous 80% to 90%, and to double the current payment cap from CA$3 million to CA$6 million per entity.
While the cap increase was designed to get significant press coverage it is misleading and almost irrelevant specifically to this situation.

What’s most striking about the graph below is that the Liberals, despite presiding over Canada’s lost economic decade, remain viable contenders in the next election.
It underscores a troubling decline in economic literacy across the country.

I listened to Pierre's speech and it's quite the contrast from Carney's. Carney spoke about using an emergency response to fast track projects. Pierre spoke about speeding up the permitting/approval process and eliminating project stalling bills like C-69.
Pierre proposes a funding mechanism that will give Indigenous communities the autonomy to address urgent needs in their community like clean water. Giving that decision making back to our leaders is something that I can stand behind.

This is big: A Conservative government will build an arctic military base – CFB Iqaluit – to take back control of Canada's North. It will be funded by taking money from the foreign aid budget.
