LIVE: Address to Parliament on the tragedy at CFB Wainwright xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1NGaroZvr…

Pray for Wainwright, everyone. There has been a serious incident that caused a fire at CFB Wainwright. Thank you to the brave firefighters and emergency responders working to save lives. I have spoken to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence to offer our support to everyone on the base and in the community. To everyone in the area, please stay safe, follow local emergency instructions, and keep roads clear for first responders.

Shame on Mark Carney for forcing struggling single moms and small business owners in Canada to pay taxes for foreign aid to a place controlled by a terrorist dictatorship that refuses elections. Cut foreign aid. Put Canadians first for once.

Mark Carney is sending Canadian tax dollars overseas while food bank use is at record highs and homeownership is nearly impossible for young Canadians. No more. Sign to save you money and put Canada First: conservative.ca/cpc/save-you…

Three years ago today, the world witnessed the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Families were torn apart, children kidnapped, women assaulted, and the elderly slaughtered: some 809 civilians were killed, while 252 would endure captivity as hostages. In January, the last body of the hostages killed was finally returned following the return of the last living hostage last year. The return offered some closure to the conflict as the last body was laid to rest, but we know the scourge of antisemitism is not over. The hatred that fueled October 7th did not remain on foreign shores. Right here in Canada, far too many synagogues, Jewish businesses and institutions have been the targets of harassment and hate. This is not, and cannot become, normal. Conservatives will always fight against antisemitism and all forms of hatred: protecting our schools, communities and places of worship so that Canadians of all faiths can live in peace and security. Today, alongside our Jewish friends and neighbours, we remember those who lost their lives that day. May their memory be a blessing.

Mark Carney could not be more out of touch. With Canadians missing meals and mortgage payments, and days before he addresses the European Parliament (instead of the Canadian Parliament) we learn in a foreign newspaper of secret talks to make Canada an "Associate Member" of the European Union. This is not about diversifying trade: we have had tariff-free trade with Europe for over a decade. They would buy more of our goods today if the Liberal government would get out of the way and permit mines, pipelines, LNG plants to produce and ship them. Canadians deserve answers: Is the WSJ report true about associate membership in the EU? If so, will European border policies apply in Canada, further overwhelming our immigration system while our youth can’t find homes? Will Canadian waitresses struggling with rent have to pay tax dollars to the bloated EU bureaucracy? Will Canadian small businesses be buried under the red tape of Eurocrats that have never met a Canadian entrepreneur? All questions I’d ask in Parliament, but it is shuttered. And one more: who decides for Canada? The Welland welder did not elect a Eurocrat to regulate our steel. The Saskatchewan farmer and the Atlantic fisherman did not choose a Brussels agrifood regulator that has never even seen our prairies or coasts. We will NEVER be the 51st U.S. state. And we will NEVER be the 28th EU state. We are Canadians. This is our home, our freedom, our sovereignty, our people. Now and forever.

The Prime Minister promised free trade in Canada by Canada Day last year. It was all show and no go. We still have federal barriers to interprovincial trade a year and a half after he promised one Canadian economy. He not only broke his promise, he also hiked taxes and piled on extra costs for Canadian liquor producers. Canadians should be free to buy Canadian. So let’s pass MP Dan Albas’ bill to allow shipment of 🇨🇦 alcohol across provincial borders, and back the Conservative Economic Action Plan to lower taxes, cut red tape, and boost investment: conservative.ca/cpc/free-tra…

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, we remember all who lost their lives that day, including Canadian Ken Basnicki.

In New York, fighting for free markets and free trade. To save Canadians money and jobs.

Carney has appointed the ultimate Liberal powerbroker to head up the government’s corporate welfare agency. Dominic Barton is the man who ran McKinsey while the firm profited from helping Purdue Pharma “supercharge” the opioid crisis; who chaired Trudeau's economic advisory council while McKinsey's federal contracts exploded thirty-fold to over $200m, contracts the Auditor General later found broke the rules. Now he will help insiders get billions in handouts, bailouts, and carve outs, paid for by you. And he was the man at McKinsey who cozied up to the Communist government in Beijing, even working with state-owned companies that violated international law and he refused to condemn the Uyghur genocide. The Liberal Club gets rich making everyone else poor.

This is a good week to remember that a nation is the sum of its parts. To fight for Canada, therefore, requires we fight for Canadians; the Windsor workers worried about losing auto jobs; the single moms paying a fortune for back-to-school supplies and lunches for kids; the young couple that still cannot afford a house or the families losing theirs to mortgage defaults; the 2.2 million people lined up food banks and all the others who work more and afford less and who are forgotten amid all the drama. Every word we utter, every decision we make must protect their jobs, boost their wages and lower their living costs. Grand speeches, globe-trotting and grandstanding will not do that. Nor will small administrative tweaks wrapped in soaring rhetoric. Let’s focus on what we control. Launch an Economic Action Plan that unblocks the 500 projects awaiting federal permits, cuts spending, red tape and taxes on work, energy, homebuilding, and investment and build up our leverage to fight for tariff-free trade. The goal is an economy that makes more and costs less, with paycheques, not debt, so our people can fill their fridges and gas tanks without emptying their bank accounts; own homes and raise kids and retire in peace. Let’s defend our sovereignty, our flag, our land, our water and, most important of all, our people.

Lake Ontario is and will always be Lake Ontario, and no executive order will change that. It doesn't belong to President Donald Trump to rename on a whim. Our two countries have real trade issues that impact our people. Instead of responding to stunts and distractions, Canadians must stay focused on what we can control: making our economy strong and affordable at home and using our leverage to fight tariffs abroad.

Just finished a call with the Prime Minister to discuss the tariff escalation. My message: release the text of the rejected agreement, recall Parliament, and adopt an emergency Economic Action Plan to save jobs and lower costs for our people. The plan should scrap gas taxes until Canada Day, have zero capital gains tax on reinvesting in Canada, end the industrial carbon tax, green -light the 500 projects waiting for federal permits, and have ZERO sales tax on Canadian-made cars. As the U.S. hikes tariffs, we must lower taxes for Canadians. Let’s all fight for our workers, our businesses, and our country.

As Canadians are vulnerable to an escalating trade war with the United States, Parliament must be reconvened. Canadians deserve answers on how trade talks collapsed, what tariffs will cost their families, and how their jobs will be protected. Prime Minister, reconvene Parliament now.

Conservatives are disappointed that the United States has chosen to impose further unjustified tariffs on Canada. They threaten the jobs and livelihoods of families right across our country. Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses. Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will deindustrialize our country. Nor can we accept a bad deal. Instead, we must continue the fight for tariff-free trade. Later today, I will seek a call with the Prime Minister to discuss what we can do to fight for our workers, businesses, and economy. Conservatives will always put our country first. Conservatives support action to protect Canadians and our industries targeted by these unfair U.S. tariffs. We also need urgent economic reforms to restore growth, protect jobs and save our industry. That must include ending the industrial carbon tax, repealing anti-development laws, green lighting the 500 economic projects awaiting federal approval and major tax reforms to return investment to our country, reward work, and recharge our economy. All Canadians must stand united for our workers, our businesses and our country.

We're cheering for the Prime Minister to deliver the good deal he promised Canadian workers. Let's turn Canada's leverage into results.
