WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!! #WANTITALL

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

We must put CANADA FIRST.

That is why Common Sense Conservatives condemn President Trump’s massive, unjust and unjustified tariffs on Canada’s already weak economy. Canada is the United States’ closest neighbour, greatest ally and best friend. We share the longest undefended border and fought alongside Americans in two world wars, Korea and Afghanistan, where 158 of our brave men and women died helping the U.S. avenge the 9/11 attacks. There is no justification whatsoever for this treatment.    

The Liberals must put aside their partisan interests and recall Parliament now to pass a Canada First Plan that will: 

1. Retaliate with dollar-for-dollar tariffs carefully aimed at maximizing impact on American companies while minimizing impact on Canadian consumers. That means targeting U.S. products that we can make ourselves, buy elsewhere or do without. For example, we must retaliate against American steel and aluminium, as Canadians can make those vital products at home. 

2. Put all the tariff revenues into help for affected workers and businesses; Government should not keep a dime of the new revenue. 

3. Pass a massive emergency Bring It Home Tax Cut to bolster the economy, stop inflation and save and create jobs. Canada needs a massive tax cut on work, investment, energy, homebuilding and making stuff at home. The Liberal carbon tax and capital gains tax hikes must be the first on the chopping block.  

4. Immediately scrap the Liberal anti-resource law C-69 and greenlight LNG plans, pipelines, mines, factories, and port expansions to overseas markets.  

5. Bring in truly free trade within Canada by knocking down interprovincial barriers to help replace lost north-south trade with east-west trade and to make us self-reliant.

6. Rebuild our military and take back control of our borders to regain the confidence of our partners, assert our sovereignty, protect our people and put Canada First.   

We will protect our economy, defend our sovereignty, bring home production and paycheques and never back down. We will put Canada First—now and always.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

God save the Queen.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

[Society of United Professionals @TheSocietySays]

Today’s report on Ontario’s skyrocketing energy emissions is a much-needed conversation starter. Thanks, @jacoblorinc and @MarcoOved.

But the idea that Quebec hydro imports can solve the problem is preposterous. Pickering can be part of the solution.

It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

JUST, WOW.😍
Grab the popcorn because the @NASAPersevere rover has sent us a one-of-kind video of her Mars landing. For the first time in history, we can see multiple angles of what it looks like to touch down on the Red Planet. #CountdownToMars

A big congratulations to Darlington staff & OPG on a run well done!

Nuclear energy creates an uneasy feeling of danger for many people: ancient and dangerous minerals are concentrated to awaken seemingly unnatural powers, creating horribly toxic elements. How many people has nuclear energy killed and how?

Corporal James Choi, a member of the Royal Westminster Regiment, based in New Westminster, B.C., died on October 31, 2020 as the result of a gunshot wound sustained while training. https://t.co/bYdNx8MGON

He died serving Canada, we will remember him.

[Ontario Power Gen @opg]

Darlington Nuclear Unit 1 has reached a milestone of 1,000 days of continuous run! Thanks to our amazing employees who ensure a safe, reliable supply of clean power every day for Ontario.

[Ontario Power Gen @opg]

Construction is now complete on the Darlington Refurbishment Unit 2. We thank all of our dedicated employees, suppliers, union trades and vendors for their commitment in seeing this project through during these unprecedented times. #PowerON https://t.co/POFSYfLB3c

Important update: the alert regarding #Pickering Nuclear was sent in error. There is no danger to the public or environment.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Small modular reactors (SMRs) could generate clean, cost-effective and reliable energy, helping our rural and remote communities, as well as sectors like mining. This technology could bring great benefit to the people of our provinces and our country.

Dear climate strikers!
Sorry for not joining today. I stayed in the office working on assuring the efficiency of Swedish nuclear power, so that it may continue delivering fossil-free energy for the benefit of mankind for many years to come.
Keep up the good work everybody!
