I am pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the Canada 150th Anniversary Award. I am asking the public to nominate community workers, who have made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, to their community, or to Canada, but who otherwise are given no official recognition. This award will continue the proud tradition of […]
What do pot sales and bringing back the long-gun registry have in common? A lot, according to this Federal Government. They both waste time. Wasting Parliament’s time with foolish campaign promises that were made to be broken confirms what we said during the last election, Trudeau was not ready to govern and he’s still just […]
The Liberals have announced their plans to legalize marijuana, and it is nothing like we thought. Their proposed law allows for kids under 18 to legally possess up to 5 grams of pot.

You might have heard the Liberals’ 2017 Budget announced $950 million would be spent on a new SuperCluster program. The CBC included it as a highlight, the Sun mocked it, and Maclean’s criticized it as just another example of bad economic policy. It’s only when you read the fine print of the budget that you […]
When Trudeau is a Threat to Democracy It is no co-incidence that Trudeau and his party used Federal Budget week to slip in fundamental changes to the rules governing how democracy works in Canada. That, and passing government Motion 103, which seeks to limit free speech in Canada, is not out of character for someone […]
