🚨BREAKING: I officially tabled the Stand on Guard Act. This bill would clarify the legal standard for self-defence to add a clear presumption that when someone knowingly and unlawfully enters your home, the force you thought necessary to defend yourself and your family is presumed to be reasonable, unless the facts show otherwise. Your home should be your safe place, not the place where the law turns against you for protecting the people you love. #cdnpoli

‼️🚨BREAKING: The Liberal Finance Minister tried to hide the cost of the sovereign wealth fund from Canadians at committee this morning. What he didn't know is that his own department discreetly shared this data at another committee. Is the Minister being contemptuous towards Canadians or is he just incompetent. You decide.... #cdnpoli

🚨Canadians pay taxes when they earn a paycheque, when they buy a home, when they own property, when they spend money, and even when they die! It often feels like there’s no way to escape the taxman — UNLESS, apparently, you’re wealthy enough to move your assets offshore. Canadians were shocked to learn that Prime Minister Mark Carney once chaired a pension fund deliberately based in Bermuda — one of the world’s top tax havens — to avoid paying the same taxes that every Canadian family pays. #cdnpoli

After years of perseverance, faith, and hard work, the Newmarket Muslim community broke ground on a new Islamic Centre. Canada is strongest when people are free to worship openly and safely, without fear and when every family knows they are protected and respected. This Centre will be a welcoming home for prayer, learning, youth, and community life for generations to come. May it always stand as a symbol of faith, peace, and community.

🚨BREAKING🚨: Today Conservatives moved an important motion to cancel the upcoming April 1st Liberal tax hike on alcohol. Rather than delivering this cost saving measure for Canadians and small businesses, Liberal members threatened to filibuster the entire meeting and refused to vote, adjourning the meeting instead! #cdnpoli

🚨 BREAKING: The Parliamentary Budget Officer has just confirmed the government’s fiscal plan is falling apart. The PBO says there is less than a 1% chance the government will achieve its own deficit target. Federal operating spending has been revised up to $142 billion. Economic growth continues to weaken. Canada is now in a recession. Yet, as the country’s finances deteriorate, the Finance Minister still refuses to disclose the cost of a sovereign wealth fund that would be financed with $25 billion in borrowed money. Canadians are being asked to take on more debt without being told the full price tag. Parliament cannot properly scrutinize a fiscal plan when key costs are being withheld. If this is a sound investment, why is the government refusing to show Canadians the bill? #cdnpoli

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The Parliamentary Budget Officer has exposed a dangerous shift in how this government reports your money. They’re redefining “capital investment” to include subsidies, tax breaks, and housing incentives — moves that make the books look better than they are. Their definition now stretches beyond international standards, and they’re quietly dropping the most important measure of all — the debt-to-GDP ratio. That’s the anchor every serious country uses to measure sustainability. When governments start rewriting definitions to hide their failures, Canadians lose trust — and integrity collapses. Honesty isn’t optional in public finance. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

BREAKING: PBO SHREDS CARNEY’S BUDGET 🚨 Only 7.5% chance the government hits its own deficit target, and the debt anchor is projected to rise, not fall. Mark Carney is touring the country selling a budget he knows doesn’t hold up to the math. The numbers don’t lie. #cdnpoli

🚨The Liberals are playing a dangerous game with our country’s finances. By redefining basic accounting terms, they’ve quietly relabeled nearly $94 billion in operating expenses as “investments”, even things like FIFA security. That’s not investment. That’s political spin. You can’t call your grocery bill a mortgage and expect people not to notice. Conservatives will restore honest budgeting: clear definitions, transparent accounting, and a return to responsible spending that actually invests in productivity, infrastructure, and long-term economic growth. #cdnpoli

🚨Canada no longer has a Parliamentary Budget Officer, because PM hasn't appointed one🚨 At the same time, Canada is running the largest deficit outside of COVID and the Liberals are reclassifying $94 billion in operating spending as “capital investment.”. This is exactly when we need independent oversight the most! #cdnpoli

🚨In Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, we heard him promote respect for international rules of law and global norms while doing the opposite here in Canada. Right now, through the Budget Implementation Act, Mark Carney has proposed giving Cabinet Ministers the authority to exempt any individual, business, or organization from almost any federal law or regulation, with the sole exception of the Criminal Code and with very few meaningful limits. That alone should shock Canadians, but it gets worse. Under this proposal, a minister would be allowed to keep secret any information about those exemptions that the minister personally decides would be “inappropriate” to make public. So let’s be clear about what this means. We are told to respect the rule of law internationally while, at home, the Liberal government seeks the power to secretly decide who must follow the law, and who does not. That is an extraordinary level of double talk. And as a former banker, I find it equally troubling that Mark Carney is deliberately playing with the definition of “capital investment,” breaking from long-standing international financial standards, in order to deceive Canadians about the true size of the operating deficit. You cannot preach respect for international rules and standards abroad while undermining them at home. So the questions are simple: Will he respect the rule of law in Canada and retract the proposal that allows Cabinet ministers to secretly exempt entities from almost any federal law? Will he respect international financial standards in our own public accounts and stop hiding the true deficit from Canadians? #cdnpoli

The Prime Minister claimed being the man with a plan Very well - then where is it? After 14 years in finance, I have learned that if you don’t know your numbers, you’re out. With economic storm clouds moving in, how is it possible to not produce a budget this spring?

🚨BREAKING: The Bank of Canada says Canada’s economy will crawl at just 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.6% growth over the next three years. While the PM brags about “unimaginable” growth, businesses are leaving, productivity is tanking, and every Canadian is on the hook for $2,000 more debt this year. Reality hurts under these Liberals #cdnpoli

🚨The International Monetary Fund has recommended independent verification of financial classifications. The Liberal government changed the definition of capital investment to relabel $94 billion in operating expenses as investments. Stops the Manipulation of Canada’s Books. Sign my petition: #cdnpoli

🚨🎙️Yesterday I attended an interview with Mike Stubbs and was asked about Matt Jeneroux’s decision to cross the floor. I couldn’t help but think about every door I’ve knocked on in Newmarket–Aurora, every volunteer who gave their time and every donor who donated because they believed in the ideas we stood for together. The people of Edmonton Riverbend have never elected a Liberal in the riding's history. The decision to be represented by a Liberal for the first time was made for them, not by them. That's not right. #cdnpoli
