Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.

Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.

Legal experts just confirmed Danielle Smith's private healthcare law breaks the Canada Health Act. Wealthy patients pay to skip the line. Everyone else waits longer. Protecting public healthcare is the federal govt's job. So why is PM Carney letting Conservatives dismantle it?

In Davos, the PM pledged to apply the same standards to allies and rivals. Canada rightly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine as illegal. But Carney is backing the equally illegal US-Israeli war on Iran. I pressed the Liberals on this reversal, note their muddled response:

New Democrats are calling on the Liberals to cancel Canada's F-35 order and instead commit to purchasing Swedish Saab Gripen fighter jets. Purchasing F-35s in the face of Trump’s aggression is fraught with risk, economically damaging & contrary to the Carney govt's own policies.

Liberals are selling off Canada’s ports and airports. After Heathrow was privatized, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & China gained major stakes in the airport. Canadians deserve a full national security review before foreign state-owned entities gain control of our strategic infrastructure.

Liberal MPs once claimed to support the tanker ban in Northern BC. Now they’re reversing 50 years of coastal protection and risking billions of dollars of economic activity—without consulting BC or First Nations. Why are BC Liberals betraying voters and risking our future?

Oil companies will rake in an extra $90B this year from Trump's illegal war on Iran. The Liberal response? A tax cut they'll pocket by raising prices. Instead of handing money to big oil, the NDP is calling for a gas price cap, a windfall profits tax & real relief for Canadians.

Moral clarity on the Iran war is needed now. The NDP is calling on the Carney government to: -condemn the attack & state it violates the UN Charter; -rule out any Canadian military participation; & -call for a ceasefire & multilateral diplomacy. Here's my speech in the House:

I'd like a budget that satisfies Canadians, not one that satisfies Donald Trump.
