This $1B infrastructure bank loan to a Chinese state-owned shipyard is either Liberal incompetence of the highest order, or a betrayal of Canadian workers and the economy at the worst possible time. Which is it?
The Minister of Transport said she’s “dismayed that BC Ferries would select a Chinese state-owned shipyard to build new ferries”. Minister for the CIB said they didn’t know they were shipping jobs to China with a $1Billion loan. BC Ferries says they knew all along. Who’s lying?
This past weekend, the deadline passed for Canada to reject the World Health Organization (WHO) amendments to the International Health Regulations. Canada did not reject these binding regulations, which would grant power to the WHO to influence Canada’s public health response…
The Parliamentary Budget Officer confirms that after 8 years, the Liberals' flagship infrastructure experiment has failed: "The current report projects that the CIB will ... still fall short of the target and is slightly lower than the projected disbursements in the previous…
The industrial carbon tax has the same impact as the consumer carbon tax - it costs you more on everything you buy. PM Carney’s carbon tax is also putting steel workers jobs on the line. If the Liberals were serious about saving Canadian jobs, then they should insist on using…
If Prime Minister Carney wants to stop the damage to our steel and aluminum workers, he should axe the Liberal industrial carbon tax. President Trump & PM Carney both want to tax our steel and aluminum workers—one with tariffs, the other with carbon taxes.
How can anyone believe anything Mr. Carney says? Only months ago, he ran an entire campaign promising he would never back down on trade. Now he is accepting permanent U.S. tariffs on Canada. A complete and utter capitulation.
It’s deeply disheartening that an RCMP Staff Sergeant has labeled traditional values as “extremist.” Differing viewpoints should not be demonized or dismissed outright. Healthy discourse is dependent on our ability to respect and engage with diverse beliefs. To label those…
I was honoured to join Christian leaders from across Canada on Parliament Hill for Canada’s first-ever National Day of Prayer. At a time when our country is facing many challenges, Canada needs prayer more than ever. It was a privilege to be part of this inspiring event.
Days after it was discovered that the Canada Infrastructure Bank funded a $1 billion contract for ships to be built by a Chinese shipyard, Parliament's fiscal watchdog confirms that the Liberals' Infrastructure Bank is a failure. CIB promised it would attract major private…

BREAKING: Conservatives call on the Liberal government to cancel their $1 billion loan to BC Ferries that will outsource Canadian steel, aluminum and shipbuilding jobs to a foreign, state-owned enterprise. Unjust and illegal American tariffs are attacking Canada's steel and…
Many people long suspected that the one-sided, biased reporting of the CBC lacked integrity. Now another CBC journalist has left the state broadcaster citing systemic bias, and that there was suppression of diverse ideas. It's clear why Canadians don't trust its reporting.…

The Liberal govt and the Canada Infrastructure Bank appear to be complicit in offshoring Canadian jobs. Steelworkers and their families in Haldimand and across Canada deserve much better from this elbows-down government. Conservatives will be getting answers from the CEO of the…
Transport committee votes to have ministers explain $1-billion loan for BC Ferries’ purchase of Chinese vessels theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
It's outrageous while our steelworkers face job loss that the Carney-backed Liberal Infrastructure bank is sending $1B in taxpayer funds to a Communist controlled shipyard, offshoring jobs & selling out our workers. Today Conservatives successfully launched an investigation.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank is using your tax dollars to fund a $1 billion project for a Chinese shipyard to build four new ferries. The federal Liberals have failed to prioritize Canadian workers and resources like Canadian steel. Instead, your tax dollars are being…
If you thought the Trudeau deficits were bad, it’s time to get ready for Carney. More reckless spending and inflation. Canadians are already struggling to make ends meet, more inflationary spending is going to weaken our ability to purchase everyday items, sending us into a…
What a beautiful Canada Day in Haldimand—Norfolk, with so many incredible events across our community. I was glad to be able to join in the parades in Caledonia and Port Dover as well as stop by Dunnville’s Canada Day celebration in the park. A big thank you to all the…
For generations, Canada has stood as a beacon of hope, opportunity and freedom. Canada was built upon the ideals of democracy, equality and unity. Yet the true heart of Canada has always been its people — from farmers and entrepreneurs to volunteers and frontline workers,…
The Parliamentary Budget Officer is urging the Liberals to show Canadians how they're spending their tax-dollars. Canadians didn't give this Liberal government a blank cheque -- they elected a minority Parliament to keep it in check, and a stronger Conservative opposition to…
When Chrystia Freeland slammed the purchase of Chinese-made ships by BC Ferries, she conveniently forgot to mention that her government was providing a billion-dollar loan. Canadians deserve answers. This must be investigated by Parliamentary Committee.
