The bank of Canada did not inflate real estate by 50% by « becoming Trudeau’s ATM. » Stop acting like Trump with your alternative facts. Stop stoking class warfare. You are dragging this party into the gutter. Enough.
I wish to announce that I will not be seeking the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. I sincerely thank all my supporters and ask them to join me in supporting the candidate that I believe can best unify the party and win the next election, the Hon. Jean J. Charest.
As a settler Canadian, I want others to think about what Indigenous voices are saying to them when they take actions like the one we see — Christine Demore, Toronto

Chinese doctors have said the greatest failing in the west is that we don’t all wear them. Singapore mandated wearing them for all and cut transmission. It’s not about catching it, it’s about asymptomatic people spreading it

People choose to get vaccinated or not. People do not choose to be women, minorities, LGBTQ or indigenous. Being beaten, raped or killed for who you are is not the same as not being able to board a plane because of a choice you made, for a time-limited period that is now over.
By 2025 Canadians will be in a fiscal abyss so deep it will take decades to climb out. They will also have well over a trillion reasons to vote Conservative.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today says giving Canadians reasons to distrust the results of the 2021 election is playing into the hands of foreign governments.
They can google every conspiracy theory on the WEF but not the twitter account of Christine Anderson?
If they're that incompetent they should never be in a future cabinet.
You forgot the hostages sir. Hamas doesn’t seem to be exercising any restraint when it comes to them. Oh, and you forgot the Jews in your own country, who are terrified to walk down the street because of threats, graffiti, vandalism and bullet holes in their schools.

Everything you decry is a result of provincial mandates. And the trucker mandate is bilateral. Stop using this situation for your personal political purposes.

Logic check:
If you get vaccinated, you are less likely to get Covid.
If you don’t get Covid, you will not transmit it to someone else.
Thus, vaccinated people will be less likely to transmit the virus. They will also not provide a host to mutate into a new strain.
The misinformation in this CTV "pandemic of the unvaccinated" segment has aged very badly. The "expert" said "you need to get vaccinated to control the virus and stop the transmission of the virus."
This was a totally false narrative. Shameful.

Maybe we should stop celebrating all months in schools and focus on education. And just tell kids not to bully anyone, whether LGBTQ, disabled, racialized, or that weird kid (like me) who got beat up in high school for no particular reason.
In October we celebrate 2SLGBTQQIA+ Month, recognizing the history of the diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender & queer communities. We encourage our schools & students to become allies & stand up against discrimination, bullying & harassment.

This is unacceptable. We will not have enough medical resources for Canadians. Or financial resources to support Canadians hurt by this crisis. If the government closes the border to foreign nationals that should apply to all equally (and Americans on non essential travel too)
BREAKING: Bill Blair confirms illegal border crossers are still being allowed into Canada, but says the government is now doing medical screening and housing them, when necessary, in quarantine.
The official language of government is neither French nor English. It is bureaucratese—lots of words to say little.
It costs billions, hides failures & drives people nuts.
I’ll pass a Plain Language Law to ban bureaucratese in government.

I agree and state quite clearly any violations of sovereignty are unacceptable. But the timing of this announcement is no accident and cynically uses this man’s death to advance political interests. And kills Canada India relations in the process.
Multiculturalism works as long as there is also a parallel common culture newcomers are proud to adopt. Canada has denigrated its history and succumbed so fully to the colonialist narrative that there is nothing left for newcomers to embrace. And so, this.

This flies in the face of conservative principles of local governance and the reality of COVID19; if there is a localized resurgence, will Kenney prevent municipalities from acting?
I believe recent events have brought the party and the country to a crossroads. The party needs to decide what it is, and what it is not. The CPC is not a populist party. The CPC is not an American party. It is a Canadian conservative party.

This video implies the common people know best. That they are heroic and make better choices than experts. Sometimes, yes. But the common people joined the Nazis in Germany as much as the common people resisted them in the UK. Leadership also matters.
Big govt is based on belief that a small group of “experts” know better how to spend other people’s money, tell them what to put in their bodies & censor what they see & say.
In truth, common people know best. I’ll give them back control of their lives.
