Iām very distraught and disappointed it has come to this in the @CPC_HQ Parliamentary Caucus. The party is divided, demoralized and far from being ready to govern. A sad state of affairs that needs to be rectified quickly for the countryās benefit.

I respectfully disagree with this approach. If youāre asking Canadians to make incredible & long term sacrifices, they are entitled to know all projections, good and bad: āCanadian governments refusing to release models or projections of COVID-19 spreadā

Now Mr Trudeau ducked the McClintic vote we tabled, to storm out of the House and call Conservatives āambulance chasersā, for daring to support Tori Staffordās dad in wanting McClintic back behind bars. Trudeauās glib arrogance and nastiness knows no bounds!.

Honoured to be on a @iran_policy panel today to discuss democratic and pluralistic alternatives to the murderous mullah dictatorship in #Iran.
@TonyclementCPC @Maryam_Rajavi .@TonyclementCPC: This is a #democratic, pluralistic alternative. They do not want a theocratic state. They do not want a nuclear state. They want a separation of faith from the state. And they want pluralistic, democratic values. #FreeIran2023.

The killer McClintic lured 8 year old Tori Stafford to a car. Tori was abducted, then assaulted horrifically by McClinticās boyfriend. She then beat Tori to death. And for this sheās been transferred to minimum security; no walls, but cooking and workshops. This is outrageous.

My own view on #covid further lockdowns and curfews (speaking as a former Health Minister): go big or go home. Do a time-limited severe lockdown (2-3 weeks) to act as a circuit breaker.If that doesnāt work nothing reasonable will.Pray for better vaccine rollout. #ontariolockdown.

Canadian MPās join US Congress and British MPās in calling for Global Magnitsky sanctions against the Saudi officials who tortured, killed and dismembered Jamal Khashoggi. Itās one of the obvious tools to deal with the atrocity

Excellent piece on Net Neutrality by my telecom advisors when I was Industry minister a decade ago. NN means more government control over telecom - we need less of it and more free competition.

Exactly. Trudeau and gang promised Sunny Ways but then demean and denigrate anyone who dares ask a question. @AndrewScheer.
This is how you can tell when Liberals are losing. Concerned about illegal border crossers? Youāre a racist. Worried about the cost? Youāre un-Canadian. Donāt like the carbon tax? Youāre a denier. Canadians are sick and tired of this. 3/5.
