I was honoured to present a petition signed by more than 5,000 Canadians expressing concerns about proposals for a national digital identification system. The petitioners are calling for greater safeguards for privacy, personal freedom, and individual autonomy. They are concerned about the collection and linking of sensitive personal information, the risk of data breaches and identity theft, and the potential for government overreach. As technology continues to evolve, Canadians deserve transparency, accountability, and the assurance that their privacy and fundamental freedoms will be protected. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make their voices heard.

Imagine being cut off from every facet of your online life, your social media, online banking, email, and work portal, without a court order and without being able to determine the cause. This is what Liberal Bill C-8 could do to Canadians in the name of cybersecurity. Without proper safeguards added to this bill, Canada runs the risk of implementing security at the cost of liberty.

BREAKING NEWS Newly released emails confirm the Liberals misled Parliament. 1. BC Ferries warned the Minister’s office 6 weeks before the Chinese ferries deal – yet she claimed she was blindsided. 2. At the same time, staff in the Prime Minister’s Office were plotting how to spin a $1-billion infrastructure bank loan that shipped Canadian tax dollars and jobs straight to China.

Bill C-22 is being rushed through Parliament without fully addressing how this surveillance framework will affect Canadians, especially those in rural communities. The impacts of this legislation will be felt across rural Canada, where population density, connectivity, and digital infrastructure differ significantly from urban centres. Rushing a bill that shapes how Canadians’ data is accessed and managed is a mistake. We do not need to trade liberty for security. We can, and must, protect both.

The CEO behind the $206 million taxpayer-funded Mersey River Wind Farm project admitted that his company board is made up of people who were related or connected to former Liberal politicians. Canadians have a right to be frustrated that the Canada Infrastructure Bank is giving over $200 million to a project that benefits Liberal insiders, and that they refuse to disclose any terms or details.

When we read Bill C-8 and look at what it actually says, it’s clear this bill risks digitally shutting out Canadians who dare to dissent, while giving the Minister sweeping power to decide who gets a voice. If Canada is to stand as a beacon of freedom, we cannot erode our liberties—or our ability to speak up—in the name of security. We cannot allow government ministers to usurp the courts and decide who loses their right to speak freely.

Bill C-9 isn’t about fighting hate - it’s about giving Ottawa more power to silence our voices. Existing law already criminalizes genocide, hate propaganda, symbols, and vandalism (Sections 318, 319, 423, 430). C-9 removes Attorney General oversight, replaces objective “hatred” with a vague emotional test, and risks criminalizing dissent. This isn’t protection — it’s politicized power. Canadians need real protection — NOT laws that weaponize free speech. #cdnpoli

Last year I put out this video on the dangers of Digital ID. At that time, the government refused to admit that they were working to implement it, and labelled me a conspiracy theorist for telling you the truth. Ironically, standing up for truth even in the face of ridicule is one of the best parts of my job! Unfortunately, the Liberal government is quietly moving towards imposing universal Digital ID, and completely circumventing Parliament and public consultation. Watch my video so you can understand how governments can easily abuse Digital ID.

The Liberal Infrastructure Bank admitted they knew BEFORE approving a $206M taxpayer-backed low-interest loan that the wind farm project involved individuals with ties to the Liberal party. So let’s be clear: They knew who the loan was going to. When asked what safeguards were in place to ensure political independence, there was no clear answer. Canadians expect independence and transparency, not a system that rewards political connections.

Bill C-22 (Lawful Access) allows the government to build a system that makes it easier to access your telecom data, your phone, internet, and other digital activity, by requiring networks to be ready for that access. The problem is how that system is being built. It is being shaped by government ministers, behind closed doors, and without full parliamentary scrutiny. Ministers will set the rules for how your data is collected, retained, and accessed — through regulation, not through open debate in Parliament. Bill C-22 is not just about access to your data. It is about control over the system that makes that access possible.

BREAKING NEWS A $206 MILLION taxpayer-backed loan given to Liberal insiders connected to former MPs. Small businesses in Haldimand—Norfolk are paying ~8% interest. So what rate did the Canada Infrastructure Bank give a wind project tied to Liberal insiders? If public money is on the line, and if ordinary Canadians can't access this kind of subsidy, Canadians deserve transparency.

Canadians should never fear persecution for sincerely held beliefs. This is why I have fought Bill C-9 from the beginning. While the Liberals claim it provides protection, people of faith across Canada are reaching out by the thousands with deep concern about how this bill will impact their ability to practice their faith freely. The government is elected by the people, and it's time that they listen to the people who will be impacted by this legislation, instead they have taken every action to limit debate. As we approach the stage of the final vote, I will not support Bill C-9, because freedom is foundational to our democracy.

When Liberal Budget 2025 calls a digital program “generationally transformative,” Canadians deserve to know exactly what that means, and how it will reshape their rights, their democracy, and the integrity of the nation. This budget sets in motion changes to your life in fundamental ways. Under this new digital framework: You will see national infrastructure begin shifting from physical assets like bridges and power grids to AI networks, data centres, and emerging digital ID systems that govern access to services. You may experience your economic activity being redefined, as your data, behaviour, and digital interactions become counted as part of Canada’s capital assets and GDP. You will eventually spend money differently as the government moves towards programmable digital currency to control when, where, and how your funds can be used, and even expiring if not spent. You will be tracked more closely, as your purchases, travel patterns, and even your carbon footprint become part of a centralized ledger that monitors real-time interactions. You will see ownership replaced with access, as government and corporations move toward systems where you rent, subscribe, or log in, where Gen-Z's should forget about ever owning a home, products, or tools outright. I warned five years ago that this shift was coming, and now the foundation for it is being laid. My hope is that this serves as a wake-up call for Canadians to become more engaged in our public life, because the future of our rights, our democracy, and our national identity will depend on your consent.

PM Carney still hasn’t shown Canadians a budget, but we already know the deficit: $68.5 billion. That’s enough to buy Canadians a few NHL teams, the Blue Jays, the Raptors, Air Canada, WestJet, Lululemon, and Canadian Tire with billions left over. And remember, this isn’t the entire budget. That’s just the deficit. When Liberals spend recklessly, Canadians pay the price through higher taxes and a higher cost of living.

Liberal insiders connected to former Liberal MPs received a $206M below-market loan from the Canada Infrastructure Bank and $150M in subsidies for a Nova Scotia wind project. Canadians struggling with the rising cost of living deserve answers. Why are Liberal-connected insiders getting rich on the taxpayer dime?

Hate speech is already illegal in Canada (Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code). Bill C-9 won’t change that. What it will do is weaken long-standing Charter protections by removing safeguards for beliefs and opinions held in good faith. The government should not police our thoughts, beliefs or conscience.

The Liberal government has a track record of dismissing Canadians over their vaccine choices and concerns about the COVID vaccine. Now, it has been revealed that their vaccine injury program has been plagued by chaos, contractor misconduct, and failure — hallmarks of this government’s record.

Finance Min Chrystia Freeland received $2B for a company that doesn't exist, with no board of structure in place. They say "just trust us", the Canada Growth Fund will attract private capital at a rate of 3:1. Remember, the Infrastructure Bank was to attract private $$, but failed.

The Minister responsible for the $1B loan is distancing himself from the deal sending Canadian jobs to a Chinese state shipyard. He claimed neither he nor the CIB knew. But BC Ferries said otherwise and now the CIB has confirmed it. This Liberal government misled Canadians.

Liberals were so ashamed of Canada that they erased Canadian historical figures & moments from our passport. Conservatives will restore those Canadian symbols. It's time for a Canada First PM who will unite and restore pride in our country, shared heritage & national identity.
