CANADA has the BIGGEST ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY in a GENERATION.
ALASKA is moving fast on pipelines to the northwest Pacific, backed by private finance.
And Mark Carney’s Liberals? They propose nearly a billion dollars for a road to a Beijing-owned mine in the north. They ram a $90 billion high-speed rail fantasy through a conflict-of-interest laden budget.
Our potential. Our jobs. Our resources. All in Liberal hands – and they’re throwing it all away.
The Alaska LNG pipeline will be the largest infrastructure project in the Arctic and a game-changer for U.S. energy leadership.
@SecretaryWright called it the single most important energy infrastructure project of this administration. @GovDunleavy
Canada silently joined consensus on April 8 to nominate Iran to this body. We should have rejected it then and there. We should have worked with allies to stand with the Iranian people, ensuring the regime faced rigorous competition, as we did in 2010.
Yet you did none of these things.
Canada is steadfastly opposed to giving Iran a seat on the UN Committee for Programme and Coordination — and Canada voted against Iran’s inclusion today at the UN. The committee should be comprised of countries entrusted with shaping the work of the United Nations and must uphold the principles of its Charter. The Iranian regime silences dissent at home and fuels instability across the Middle East. We stand with the people of Iran.
Honoured to represent Canada to lay the wreath at Calgary’s Field of Crosses. We honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of generations of Canadians who answered the call of duty.
Their sacrifice is our inheritance. Their memory is our responsibility. The freedoms they died for is our covenant.
Lest we forget.
On Remembrance Day 2026, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP backed the IRGC’s state terror as statecraft at the United Nations.
Always a great conversation with @RealCTZN about the defining issues facing Canada.
Keep an eye out for their upcoming episode, where we discuss the federal budget, Canada–U.S. relations, and Canada’s relationship with the European Union. Coming soon!
A great evening with the great people of Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge, and their great Conservative MP @MarcDalton!
We spoke about the future of our country: unleashing Canada’s vast natural wealth, defending our Western inheritance, and restoring tariff-free trade with our American neighbours.
Canada’s prosperity, sovereignty, and national identity are worth defending. That is the work before us.
Our exporters are already contending with tariffs and trade uncertainty. They cannot afford bottlenecks at home.
Canada needs reliable ports, greater rail capacity and fewer barriers to getting our products to market.
A great visit to @WTCGroupInc in Port Coquitlam to see the workers behind getting Canadian natural resources, grain, lumber and manufactured goods to markets at home and around the world.

The consequences of a deteriorating Canada–U.S. trade relationship extend well beyond the negotiating table.
Joined Conservative BC Caucus Chair and MP, my friend @MarcDalton, and MLA-elect @DougMorneau in Maple Ridge for a roundtable with local entrepreneurs on the costs of tariffs.
Businesses face difficult decisions, and workers are at risk. Their voices must be heard. We have to act decisively to save their money, and their jobs.
Joined MLA-elect @GordonZhang20, @IainBlackBC, and business, thought leadership and industry leaders in Vancouver for a roundtable hosted by my friend @VancouverClub President Colin Metcalfe on Canada–U.S. relations, tariffs, energy, and critical minerals.
Our economic and national security are inseparable. We must unlock our resource potential by getting government out of the way, deliver our goods to markets, and restore certainty for workers to thrive.
That means serious negotiations that deliver results, not political theatre that prolongs uncertainty.
“It’s all performative stuff. None of it’s actually resulting in things that people can plan their payrolls over, plan their budgets with.
There’s no market security that’s being offered up while steelworkers are being laid off, lumber mill towns are being shut down.”

“Attacking the Canadian auto sector attacks the American auto sector as well.
We jointly produce 11 million cars a year and are losing market share to Korean and Japanese firms when we should be working more closely together to produce more cars and get more international market share together.”
We need to get to Washington to negotiate a deal and stop playing politics domestically over it.

Great night at the @BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Delta and Lakshmi Narayan Mandir (@surreymandir) in Surrey with my friend and the great @CPC_HQ MP @TamaraJensen!
In the gathering darkness we light the lamp with a message of hope. We bring people together, from all backgrounds, all faiths, all walks of life. We celebrate this festival not just today but in every day. For freedom.
Light over darkness. Good over evil. Knowledge over ignorance. A festival kept across millennia that outlasts every tyranny, uniting all who celebrate in the triumph of hope over fear.
May this ancient light fill your home with peace and prosperity, and may you know freedom and joy. Happy Diwali!
You’re fearless! Congratulations my friend. Well deserved.
I was honoured to receive an Allyship Award from @WiesenthalCA at their Spirit of Hope Gala in the presence of my dear friends and family ❤️. The award recognizes individuals who demonstrate meaningful solidarity with the Jewish community and take a stand against antisemitism, hatred, discrimination and intolerance.
Antisemitism is rising at an alarming rate in Canada and around the world. I hardly recognize the Canada I grew up in. A country where diversity was celebrated, differences respected and hatred had no place.
As an Iranian, I have also witnessed firsthand the tremendous solidarity and friendship the Jewish community has shown the Iranian people. Our connections go back thousands of years, and despite the actions of our governments, the friendship between our peoples endures.
I am grateful for the important work the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center does to educate future generations about the Holocaust, preserve its memory and combat antisemitism.
May we all do our part to keep the Spirit of Hope alive and help build a Canada we can once again be proud of. Thank you @LevittMichael and your wonderful team.
Students are on the frontlines of a wave of critical theory indoctrination that denies our inheritance, our history, and our freedoms.
Great to connect with students from the @UBCCons and @SFUCPC at their Vancouver Pub Night.
The Conservative movement, and the young who championed it in British Columbia, are strong!
A real pleasure catching up with my friend @UjjalDosanjh in Vancouver.
We have never shared a political party. But his decades of public service as British Columbia’s Attorney General and Premier, and later as Canada’s Minister of Health, reflect an independence of mind increasingly rare in public life.
Moral clarity knows no party lines. Canada is better for his service, his principled leadership, and his unwavering courage.
Thank you Ujjal and Raminder, for your warm hospitality, your wisdom, and the snacks. Until next time!
Joined the great MP @ChakAuRichmond, the @hk_pa_, and Richmond’s Hong Kong community for an important discussion on Canada’s commitments to Hongkongers and our potential in the Indo-Pacific.
We discussed the federal budget, the need to save Canadians money and livelihoods, to achieve transformational growth, and to preserve freedom for all Canadians.
And we remembered @SupportJimmyLai, Beijing’s National Security Law that shredded Hong Kong’s Basic Law halfway through a half century deal that was to protect Hongkonger’s universal suffrage, and rededicated ourselves to the spirit of Hong Kong that was never confined to a city. It lives in our people, in Richmond, and across Canada.
It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Sahbra Anna Markus, one of the last voices who could say: I was there. I saw it. It was real.
She was born in the Warsaw Ghetto, two months after the Nazis murdered her twin brothers. What followed was a childhood no child should survive. The escape across the Bug River, stalked by soldiers and wolves. A church that promised shelter and delivered cruelty. Years in displaced persons camps outside Munich. And at seven, the radio carrying the United Nations vote for Israel’s independence, which she called the best day of her life.
Then she chose beauty. She danced. She took to Broadway. She toured the world and settled in Calgary, opened a dance school, and for thirty-five years told her story to students who needed to hear it.
In July we celebrated her 85th birthday, and noted that her life was itself an act of defiance against everything the Nazis stood for. It was.
Light outlasts darkness. Sahbra Markus was proof. May her memory be for a blessing. I will miss my friend.
Good discussion with Shaun Govender at @PortVancouver on supply chain security, national security, and unlocking Canada’s vast resource potential.
Our resources are a strategic advantage. We must build the infrastructure to get them to market, strengthen our economic sovereignty, and secure Canada’s place in global trade.
Generations of forestry families built one of Canada’s most important industries. That industrial capacity remains a strategic national asset.
A valuable discussion with the @BCLumberTrade Council on mounting U.S. tariffs, market access, and the future of Canadian forestry.
We must defend this industry, secure its place in North American supply chains, and unlock its full economic potential.
