The first line in a story found only in the independent media said it all: “Publishers who take federal press subsidies should demonstrate ‘fair balance’ in content.” (Peter Julian MP June 2, 2020 – Standing Committee on Finance, as reported by Blacklock’s Reporter) Recently, an opinion piece masquerading as news showed up with the weekly […]

What is Bill Blair hiding?
Despite misleading Parliament, Trudeau is keeping Blair in place. With the Finance Minister utterly incapable of doing the single most important part of his job, preparing a budget, this government needs to come clean with the true costs of his firearms confiscation plan. I have written to Blair calling for the reversal of his Order-In-Council, […]
CERB CORPORATE PROFITEERS MUST BE STOPPED
I am calling on the Liberal Government to close the loophole in the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), which allows companies to charge fees for completing CERB applications. The Liberals are letting these tax credit promoters profit off a pandemic while scaring citizens from applying for CERB. The Liberals added penalties for fraud, but left […]
Lawful Firearms Owners Risk Arrest
I am calling on Public Safety Minister Bill Blair to immediately allow the public to do searches on the RCMP Firearms Reference Table to prevent further criminalizing law-abiding firearms owners. The bureaucrats have posted a separate document on the internet for the public. The problem being it is outdated leaving lawful firearms owners at risk […]
Canadians Face Greatest Threat To Privacy Ever
Justin Trudeau has cancelled Parliament, is confiscating private property, and is now ‘strongly recommending’ a potentially invasive government tracking app for our phones. The Canadian government claims it will offer contact tracing apps on a voluntary basis. That may not always be the case. The Emergencies Act grants the government extraordinary powers. Trudeau sought to […]
Seeking Ammunition For Highspeed
Today’s digital economy means affordable, reliable access to consistent high-speed internet is a determinant to economic productivity, and individual equality of opportunity. Despite the CRTC designating broadband as an essential service more than 5 years ago, many Canadians in rural and remote regions still do not have consistent access to this essential service. This issue […]
Canadians need to have at least as many Property Rights as Foreign Investors
The newly-signed Canada/United States/Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) on free trade provides greater property rights protections for foreign investors than currently exist for Canadians. Canadians should enjoy at least the same private property rights as foreigners who invest in Canada. I recently introduced legislation, Bill C-222, An Act to amend the federal Expropriation Act (protection of private […]
Wolfe Island Flood Victims Ask for Help
Recently, I met with Wolfe Island flood victims, after being invited by residents to hear first-hand, their concerns. Months after the Trudeau Government signed Plan 2014, the controversial plan that raises water levels in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed basin, Wolfe Island residents were flooded, and worse two years later. As the Member of Parliament […]
Can Members of Parliament Pass A Firearms Quiz?
Despite losing seats in rural Canada, and losing the popular vote, Justin Trudeau is pressing ahead with his plan to ban firearms that look scary. The repeated calls in the Throne Speech to ban “military-style” and “assault-style” firearms should tell Canadians everything they need to know about Trudeau; he cares more about style than substance. […]
Northern Ontario Abandoned in Throne Speech
As the Conservative Shadow Minister for Northern Ontario Economic Development, I expressed my disappointment following the Liberal Government’s Speech from the Throne. Northern Ontario has been completely abandoned by the Liberal Government. With not a single mention of helping those who work in the forestry or mining industries, nor a focus on rural economic development, […]
