This is a song I’ve sung to Jaden since he was a baby. Several years ago, he started to sing along with me. People ask me all the time, “Does Jaden communicate with you?” The answer, of course, is yes. He just has his own mysterious and incredibly beautiful language. ❤️

I have received more calls and emails in opposition to Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act than perhaps any issue I’ve seen in 16 years. I agree with my constituents on this. It’s massive Liberal overreach, a dangerous precedent, and I will be speaking and voting against it.

Yesterday, I made my annual World Autism Awareness Day statement in the Canadian House of Commons. Being 2021, I was in my basement, with Jaden watching on CPAC rather than from the House of Commons gallery. The words, though, were no less heartfelt! 🙂♥️ #autism #cdnpoli

In a single post, the @TorontoStar captures perfectly everything that is wrong with Trudeau's $600M media bailout. Among the least ridiculous attributes of this tweet is the incorrect spelling of their own columnist's name. #cdnpoli

You’d think Andrew Scheer would just keep his mouth shut until the new leader takes over in August.But that, it seems, is not his style. He continues to demonize Trudeau, even though most Canadians say the PM doing a reasonable job, Thomas Walkcom writes.

It’s #WorldAutismAwarenessDay . Spent a busy week in Ottawa w/ my favourite guy, filled with moments like this. Whether singing or talking, Jaden’s “Bababababa” is always filled w/ meaning. You just have to take the time to step into HIS world & intentionally engage with him! ❤️

This is a song I’ve sung to Jaden since he was a baby. Several years ago, he started to sing along with me. People ask me all the time, “Does Jaden communicate with you?” The answer, of course, is yes. He just has his own mysterious and incredibly beautiful language. ❤️

This is a very different World Autism Awareness Day for us. Jaden’s had COVID. He seems to be doing better now, but abstract stuff is so difficult for him to communicate. I can’t imagine how tough that must be for him. Can’t wait for more moments like this again soon! ❤️

The Liberal Question Period strategy is increasingly troubling. Serious questions are regularly met w/ scripted, dramatic indignation & no attempt to answer. This blatant disregard for transparency is the opposite of a ‘Team Canada’ approach & we are all worse off for it.

Today, I had a chance to ask Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan about his surprising admission that, after four years of Liberal government, investors don't currently "know what direction we're heading in and what the rules are." His answer? Well, just watch. #cdnpoli

Thousands of grocery stores across Canada open safely every day. PM Trudeau says House of Commons, one of Canada's most secure buildings, w/ access to Canada's top public health experts, can't adapt to operate safely 5 days a week. Simply not credible.

5:45 AM. Been up 24 hours now - voting for 12. Haven't missed a vote so far. Liberals will no doubt keep going, steadfast in their refusal to allow a committee study of the Atwal fiasco. I have a feeling #protectingbutts will be trending again soon. Let's give it a good start! 🌞

My brother’s wife is amazing. One of the most (brutally) honest people I know. I can’t imagine a world where I’d think anyone would accept that she could be the (even interim) Ethics Commissioner. I’d shudder at what the Liberals (and media) would say.

12:15 a.m. in Ottawa and 6 1/2 hours into another marathon voting session. Liberals choosing this route rather than having a sitting member of THEIR OWN CAUCUS testify before a committee she wants to appear at. You can't make this stuff up! #cdnpoli

With respect, for well over $1B/yr Canadian taxpayers might expect their national broadcaster to find three Canadian journalists (regulars or otherwise) to weigh in on a breaking story of this significance.

In QP today, I pointed out that the Liberals have clearly broken their campaign promise to establish a Canada Mental Health Transfer. The Minister responded by calling my very measured, fair question "annoying" & "despicable". Watch & judge for yourself. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #GetReal

Conservatives have been relentlessly fighting the Liberals’ Bill C-11, which will significantly affect what Canadians see & hear online. On Thursday, I had the chance to add my voice to the debate in the House. I'd love to hear what you think!

Free speech is fundamental to democracy. Here are four ways to exercise it more impactfully, and perhaps actually change minds: 1. Be respectful. 2. Do your research. 3. Tell the truth. 4. Understand that it goes both ways. What would you add to the list?

This is quite something from a former Liberal MP. There is not one credible person in Ottawa, from any party, who would use the word ‘ridiculous’ to describe @janephilpott . Less than 3 months ago, @justintrudeau appointed her President of the Treasury Board.

Thank goodness for Judy Sgro. She had the courage to say publicly what so many Lib MPs are thinking and believe. JWR & JP have become ridiculous actors in a truly silly soap opera of their own making. Time to grow up and put your grownup pants on.

Three tips for #BetterTwitter . What are yours? 1. Use your real name. First and last. Own your posts. 2. Be respectful. Name-calling may get you retweets, but it won’t cause anyone to change their mind. 3. Draft. Wait. Re-read. Post.

@MumofSR @PierrePoilievre I haven’t chosen anyone to support yet. Just sharing the video announcing that he’s running. Very relevant to those who follow me. Whatever you might think of his political views, he’s a very intelligent, articulate individual. Worth a Twitter follow to diversify your feed. 🙂

There are very few ridings in Canada that you can walk. Adam’s is one of them. Only one riding has Union Station in it. Any guesses? Also, Toronto’s monthly average high never falls below 0. Adam, post-COVID, come for a visit to Edmonton-Wetaskiwin. You need to get out more.
