Buried deep in the government’s 600-page Budget Implementation Act is a provision that would allow ministers to exempt individuals or corporations from federal laws for up to six years, without parliamentary approval, under vague justifications like “public interest” or “innovation.” Canadians expect transparency and accountability, not sweeping powers that... show more

🚨Canadians from coast to coast are signing petitions because they know something is deeply wrong. No single Cabinet minister should ever have the power to quietly pick winners and losers by exempting individuals or companies from federal law — behind closed doors. That is not transparency. That is not accountability. And it has no place in a democracy. #cdnpoli

🚨Protect the Rule of Law. Restore Fiscal Integrity.🚨 Join me in standing up for transparency and the rule of law. This petition raises serious concerns about the use of the Budget Implementation Act to give individual Cabinet Ministers the power to quietly exempt companies or individuals from federal laws. It also calls out misleading budgeting practices that redefine capital investment to include operating expenses like subsidies and corporate handouts, masking the true state of the government’s finances and undermining long-standing accounting standards. We deserve a government that plays by the rules, applies the law equally, and is honest with Canadians about our public finances. If you believe in transparency, accountability, and fiscal integrity, stand with me. ✍️ Sign the petition now— link in bio. #cdnpoli

🚨‼️MUST WATCH: Hidden inside the Budget Implementation Act are sweeping new powers that concentrate authority in ministers’ hands, weaken parliamentary oversight, and sidestep democratic accountability. It’s not just Conservatives raising the alarm. A broad coalition of civil liberties groups, legal experts, economists, and governance watchdogs are speaking out and calling these provisions undemocratic, a dangerous overreach, and deeply concerning for the future of our institutions. When voices across the political and professional spectrum are shocked by what’s being proposed, Canadians should be paying attention. Power must be accountable. I will continue to oppose this overreach and fight to protect Parliament’s role and Canadians’ right to a government that plays by the rules. ‼️You can join me by signing my petition.

Today in the Senate of Kenya, I will substantiate how public money is being hidden and stolen in plain sight through budget lines labelled “Other Operating Expenses.” OVER 90 BILLION! If salaries, utilities, travel, maintenance, fuel, training, procurable items, and other expenditures already have specific vote heads, what exactly is hidden under this vague and ever-expanding category? Even more troubling, the Constitution requires parliamentary approval for all public borrowing. Yet billions are spent under opaque budget lines that escape meaningful scrutiny. Kenyans deserve transparency, not blank cheques for wastage, mismanagement, and theft. Every shilling collected from taxpayers must be traceable, justified, and accounted for. The era of hiding public funds behind vague budget descriptions must come to an end. STAY TUNED

Canadians have fought to protect their privacy before and they're doing it again. In 2003, public pressure stopped a proposal that would have allowed law enforcement to read Canadians' mail without a warrant. Now, as Parliament studies Bill C-22, one question stands out: Why would the Public Safety Committee try to stop the Privacy Commissioner from testifying? Privacy rights aren't Liberal or Conservative. They're Canadian. Canadians deserve to hear the evidence and make up their own minds!

🚨 WAKE UP, CANADA! 😡 Bill C-15 is a TOTAL POWER GRAB by the Liberals, handing ministers UNPRECEDENTED authority to exempt ANYONE—including themselves or their corporate cronies—from ALMOST EVERY FEDERAL LAW except the Criminal Code! That’s right, buried on page 300 of this sneaky omnibus budget bill, they can wave a magic wand and say “public interest” or “innovation” to let big shots dodge environmental regs, conflict of interest rules, or even anti-corruption laws for up to SIX YEARS! How the hell is this not straight-up DICTATORSHIP vibes? 🤬 Critics are screaming it’s the biggest threat to our rule of law yet, eroding Parliamentary democracy while Mark Carney pulls strings like he’s got a majority government. Remember Chrystia Freeland’s recent election law slip-up? Bet she’d love an exemption pass! And don’t get me started on how this could shield WEF-style blended finance scams at the Canadian Infrastructure Bank from accountability. Canadians, this should SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! Are we really okay with ministers playing God over our laws? NO WAY! Demand answers, share this NOW, and let’s stop this before it’s too late! #BillC15 #LiberalPowerGrab #DictatorshipCanada #CorruptionExempt #MarkCarney #PierrePoilievre #CdnPoli #CdnPolitics #CdnGovernment #WEFScam #RuleOfLaw

When people are denied refugee status, denied appeals, and still allowed to remain in the country for years, that is not compassion. That is a system failure. Canadians deserve transparency. We deserve safety. And we deserve a system that actually works. Asking questions is not hateful. It is responsible. . . . . . #Accountability #PublicSafety #ImmigrationPolicy #Canada #Toronto

How do critical details in political vetting timelines manage to slip past public scrutiny? This is a stark look at how internal party processes and background checks operate behind closed doors, away from real transparency. When the structure of political accountability feels opaque, voters are left in the dark about how candidates are actually filtered. We need to keep pushing for institutional transparency that answers directly to the public. Check out link in bio. Watch. Listen. Follow. Independent Voter @independentvoter #ad

Lying under oath to Congress is a federal crime, primarily prosecuted as perjury. The penalty is a fine that is typically under federal guidelines, potentially up to $250,000 for individuals and up to 5 years in prison, or both!

🚨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

When government redefines “infrastructure” to include AI and data systems, the impacts are not abstract. Workers face displacement, and vulnerable Canadians risk being shut out as essential services move toward AI-enabled, digital-only models. Yet Parliament was never given the opportunity to debate or approve this $10-billion expansion of the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s mandate. Even the Minister of Infrastructure has acknowledged there is no bill authorizing this sweeping change. Redefining how billions in public dollars are allocated is not a technical adjustment. It is a fundamental policy shift, and Canadians deserve clarity, transparency, and full parliamentary accountability when changes of this magnitude are made.

Mark Carney made Canadians promises. In the name of getting elected. Those promises have been broken. Our tariffs went up from 25% to 35%. Canada is still struggling to make a deal. The Liberals have tabled nearly half a trillion in spending, with no timeline to balance the budget and no parliamentary approval. We are spending at record levels. With no clear path or budget in sight. Carney has betrayed Canadians. Something that the Liberals consistently do.

The Federal Reserve is meeting right now to decide whether to lower rates. We will not know what was said in that meeting until July 2030 because the Fed unlawfully withholds their meeting transcripts for 5 full years. Our Founding Fathers would be appalled to learn that an unelected, unaccountable group of bankers is meeting in secret to decide the interest rate of every mortgage and credit card in America all while denying the American public the right to know what they're up to. That's why @InvestAzoria is suing Jerome Powell in federal court. Americans deserve transparency and accountability from him and the Fed.

Our attention has been drawn to public remarks by the Controller of Budget suggesting that certain public funds fall outside any framework of oversight and accountability. This characterisation is inaccurate and requires clarification. The mandate of the Office of the Controller of Budget is defined by Article 228 of the Constitution and the Controller of Budget Act, 2016. Under Article 228(4), the office authorises withdrawals from public funds under Articles 204, 206 and 207 — the Equalisation Fund, the Consolidated Fund and County Revenue Funds — and, under the Act, from any other public fund that an Act of Parliament expressly places under its approval. In every case, Article 228(5) requires only that she confirm the withdrawal is authorised by law. The funds referred to in the interview were established by their own legislation, each with defined mechanisms for management, withdrawal and audit. They remain fully subject to the oversight of the Auditor-General and Parliament. To suggest that money lawfully appropriated and administered under an Act of Parliament is beyond scrutiny is to misstate both the law and the facts. The Controller of Budget is an independent constitutional office, and Government respects that independence. Independence, however, is exercised through the constitutional and statutory instruments provided — reports to Parliament and lawful approval of withdrawals — not through public commentary that mischaracterises the legal framework. Where any office holder believes their mandate should be widened, the proper avenue is the legislative process. Government notes that amendments to the Public Finance Management Act to expand oversight of funds and levies outside existing budget channels are already before Parliament, and it welcomes that debate on its merits

For years, Canadians have watched the Liberal government push DEI ideology deeper into federal hiring, promotions and research. Yesterday in the House of Commons, I presented Petition 451-00624 on behalf of the people of Richmond Hill South, calling for a federal system that puts merit first. Canadians are tired of watching public institutions drift further from fairness and common sense. Jobs, funding and public decisions should not depend on ideological requirements. They should reflect ability, performance and what is best for taxpayers.

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.
