At the Rideau Lakes Legion in Portland for Honours and Awards this afternoon with MPP @SteveClarkPC. Three Life Memberships were awarded along with recognition pins to members with milestone years of service. Thanks to all of Br. 231 members for your work in our community.

Let’s get this straight: while rampant violent offenders are released hours after their most recent charges & antisemitic rioters vandalize businesses, terrorize daycares & block traffic without consequences, the Crown wants 7 years prison time for the charge of mischief for Lich…

Great day at the Westport Car & Truck Show with @SteveClarkPC & Mayor Robin Jones. Classic vehicles, great crowd, and a perfect setting on the shores of the Rideau. Appreciated the chance to connect with the Blairs and the Morgans and see the cars they brought out for the show.

Great to join the Thousand Islands Association for their annual breakfast this morning. A beautiful day on the River and a great turnout to support safety, stewardship, and community in one of Canada’s most iconic regions.

The Prime Minister is now conceding that American tariffs on Canada will be part of an eventual deal. Another unilateral concession from a man who said he would never back down to the U.S. President.

Honoured to join Cystic Fibrosis for their King Charles III Coronation Medal presentation to two deserving recipients Caroline Rigutto and a posthumous award to Teri Lang. Their incredible advocacy helped shaped better support and treatment for Canadians living with CF.

The Liberals say they’ll spend less—while running a $92B deficit this year. That’s not change. It’s worse. Canadians can’t have confidence in PM Carney to “spend less” when they’re already paying the price.

LIVE: Sell The Assets To End Carney’s Conflicts x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Liberal gov’t let two firms collect nearly a billion dollars in contracts—many under an Indigenous program—despite failing audits and not meeting the basic criteria. Now they’re hiding the full audit findings. Same secrecy. Same waste. Same Liberals.

We knew it was bad—but not this bad when PM Carney’s officials said they’re working to “manage all the conflicts”. Mr. Carney and his Cabinet know the dozens of investments in the “blind trust”. He should sell his holdings and have a trustee invest in a truly blind trust.

Summer was in full swing at the Elgin Days Parade today! ☀️ Team Barrett joined the Canada-themed fun, walking the route lined with folks celebrating community. 🇨🇦 Big thanks to the volunteers who make this a great weekend every year!

Mark Carney must explain why he kept these conflicts secret from voters until after the election. Now he will be in a position to profit from big decisions or will be forced to sit out those decisions altogether. Either way, Canadians will pay the price.

Two special ladies celebrated milestone birthdays in Spencerville this week! 🎉 Carol Butcher marked 80 years with the community at the Legion, and Veita Hutton celebrated 95 years with the community at St. Laurence O’Toole. Wishing them both many more joyful birthdays to come!

BREAKING NEWS Conservatives are calling for immediate committee hearings into the CBC for forcing the resignation of Travis Dhanraj. The CBC is again accused of workplace harassment and bias reporting. All of this while the CBC is funded by taxpayers and executives pay…

Wonderful night in @TownofPrescott to honour and celebrate a remarkable legacy of service to the community by members of the Prescott Fire Department. 👏 Fire Chief Renny Rayner was recognized for his 35 years of service. 👏 John Houston for 30 years. 👏 It was a double…

Joined the Grenville Federation of Agriculture for breakfast at Dixon’s General Store & Café. Great conversations with the farmers who feed our communities. If you ate today—thank a farmer!

No amount of spending on our brave men and women could be enough. The way to pay for it is by cutting other wasteful government spending, not another Liberal tax hike. Yet Mark Carney’s out of control spending, which is worse than Trudeau’s, now threatens to further impoverish…

Joined with the community to celebrate the grand opening of the new all-season recreation pad in Spencerville and 35 years of service by the Spencerville & District Optimist Club. Grateful to the Optimists and Agricultural Society for investing in youth, sport, and community.

The Liberals made a choice. Prioritizing the safety of our communities wasn’t their choice.

Amazing day celebrating Canada Day with patriotic Canadians in communities across Leeds & Grenville. Great people, great communities, and the greatest country! 🇨🇦
