I am disturbed by
#RoeVsWade
being overturned.
While I recognize there are strongly held beliefs on this issue, reproductive rights in Canada are non-negotiable.
I will remain focused on issues that unite Canadians, not divide us.
I am pro-choice. A gov't under my leadership will not support legislation restricting reproductive rights.
While I respect the democratic rights of MPs to bring forward private members bills on matters of conscience, I will not vote to support them.

Jeremy Mackenzie, founder of Diagolon, just posted a picture to his Telegram of him shaking hands with Pierre Poilievre.
It’s unclear when the photo is from, but it looks like it’s from one of Poilievre’s campaign meet and greets.
For months, Pierre Poilievre has supported protesters who threatened to overthrow a democratically elected gov. Now he’s attacking the legitimacy of the Bank of Canada. He is stoking the flames of populism. We cannot take this lightly.

I’ll be campaigning from home for the next few days as I have tested positive for COVID.
Out of an abundance of caution, if we were in close contact and you’re not feeling well please follow your local public health guidelines. /1
Politicians don’t get to pick and chose when to follow the law. The rule of law is not a buffet.
One of my opponents believes he is above the law. No one is above the law.
This vitriol is corrosive for our politics and bad for the country. Politics by intimidation has no place in Canada.
Our leaders need to work together to overcome these divisions, not stoke the flames further dividing us.
Warning: contains explicit language.
It's not clear whether Poilievre will procure vaccines for Canadians in a future pandemic.
The only way to stop this is with a serious leader who won't risk the health and well-being of millions of Canadians for his own power, buy a membership and vote:
Tearing down institutions for short-term political gain is not Conservative. It’s dangerous and short-sighted.
Mr. Poilievre is skilled at pointing out problems with institutions, but after 18 years in power, he doesn't have a single serious solution as to how he'd fix them.
Firing the BOC Gov. to fix inflation is dangerous and intellectually dishonest. Canadians aren't the only ones suffering from the global cost of living crisis: firing one person will fix it all?
Serious problems need serious solutions, not sound bites.
While we may disagree on policies, I will always reach across the aisle within my own party or beyond it for the greater good of Canada.
Happy Birthday
@PierrePoilievre
. Wishing you a great day surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
The data is clear, 80% of Conservatives and 85% of Canadians know we already live in one of the freest countries in the world.
The only ones that don't are Mr. Poilievre and the PPC.
From housing to our economy, let's solve real problems in Canada.
3/3 Thank you to my supporters and team members. I'm so proud of our campaign. We stuck to our principles. We still have a critical role to play in shaping our forward-looking policy agenda and attracting new voters to the Conservative Party. I will have more to say tomorrow.
Are we voting for our Conservative Party, or to become the PPC?
Are we voting to focus on real solutions for Canadians, or conspiracy theories?
Are we voting to solve the affordability crisis, or attack our institutions?

We will review CBC’s mandate to keep it focused on things the private sector can’t deliver.
CBC doesn't need to buy American shows to rebroadcast them here. We get enough American content from Mr. Poilievre.
But defunding our nation's broadcaster entirely will harm Canada.
While I support the removal of vaccine mandates, the problems at Pearson remain due to the labour shortage.
Canada's air navigation service provider has too many experienced workers retiring, and CBSA is short hundreds of staff that need to be recruited and trained.
We need an independent investigation to get to the bottom of whether the Trudeau gov't directed the RCMP to advance their partisan agenda at the risk of jeopardizing a criminal investigation of a mass murderer. This is grounds for resignation.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG

Canadians have a right to know whether Mr. Poilievre is going to attack our other institutions.
Will he attack:

Being on the ground with our allies is the right thing to do.
