“Who cares?” — That was Mark Carney’s response when asked about talking to the U.S. President while Canadian workers, families, and businesses are getting crushed by American tariffs. This is the same Mark Carney who brushed off major Canadian projects as “so boring.” Now he

Still much work to do, and it will require the voices of Canadians to get it done. The only reasonable solution is to prioritize the safety and rights of victims immediately. This is what Section 33 was created for. Met Minister @SeanFraserMP Nov 10. He told me—to my face—no
Today, Conservatives delivered a major victory to protect our children. After a lengthy Liberal filibuster, our Justice team was able to pass a motion compelling the government to bring forward a new law by the end of the year to address the outrageous Supreme Court decision to

Unbelievable. Another convicted killer moved out of maximum security. This is what the Liberal government’s weak justice system looks like—more comfort for violent offenders, less justice for victims and their families. Victims deserve better. Conservatives will fix this

Hundreds of sexual-assault cases are being thrown out because of court delays. Survivors are being retraumatized, trials are dragged out, and cases collapse before justice can be served. That’s unacceptable. Under this Liberal government, our justice system has become weaker

Canadians can’t afford the cost of Carney’s bloated bureaucracy. Since 2015, the federal bureaucracy has grown by 100,000 new public servants and the cost of government has skyrocketed 80%—up $6 billion just last year. Yet government services keep getting worse. Carney says

The only thing happening at “historic speed” is how quickly Carney’s housing plan is falling apart. Mark Carney promised 500,000 new homes a year — but housing starts collapsed 17% in October, falling to less than half of that target. Canada was building more homes in the 1970s

The government cannot be offering MAID to Veterans — full stop. No government should ever respond to a veteran seeking help with an offer of assisted death. Our heroes deserve care, treatment, and respect — not a system that gives up on them.

Carney’s Costly Credit Card Budget has officially been exposed. The Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed what Canadians already suspected — the Liberals cooked the books. Their inflated “capital spending” numbers don’t add up, leaving a $94 billion gap and no plan to balance

I’ve heard too many heartbreaking stories from veterans who were offered MAID instead of the assistance in living they were seeking. Kelsie Sheren shared her testimony of how veterans are having MAID pushed on them — and how many are too afraid to speak up, worried they’ll lose

Liberals Still Don’t Understand How a Strong Economy is Built. For decades, Liberal governments have been picking winners and losers — handing out tax breaks and subsidies to a few favoured industries while leaving everyone else behind. Mark Carney’s latest budget repeats the

It’s time for the Carney Government to come clean with veterans. After days of spin and confusion, the Liberals still can’t truthfully explain where their $4.23 billion in cuts to Veterans Affairs are coming from. Our Veterans deserve honesty — not excuses. Conservatives will

“Big promises. Big spending. But where are the results?” Mark Carney promised a “historic” budget and warned of major sacrifice — yet what Canadians got instead was more of the same: higher debt, unclear direction and a government that looks more like a spending machine than a

How can anyone “respect” a decision to ban the wearing of a poppy?? And this is the person responsible for ensuring we support our heroes and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice?? It’s little wonder that veterans wait years for the benefits and services they earned and

Lest We Forget 🇨🇦 Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who have served — and continue to serve — Canada with courage, honour, and sacrifice. Their selflessness secured the freedoms we cherish, and their legacy lives on in every community, every act of service,

A recent Toronto Sun editorial highlights how non-citizens are receiving lighter sentences for serious crimes — even ones that should lead to deportation. This is just another example of how the Carney Liberals have broken Canada’s immigration and justice systems. Canadians are

This is just plain wrong. The poppy is the symbol of remembrance for all those who gave their lives for our freedoms. The right to show that respect for what they gave for all of us must be absolute.

My Remembrance Day message to Canada - this is the second last in a series of messages from my fellow Members of Parliament. We put this series together as our act of Remembrance. I hope to see everyone out at their local cenotaph tomorrow. Lest We Forget… @AlexRuff17
