Today, I stood alone holding this sign at one of the busiest intersections in my small, rural, conservative hometown.
I had people raise their middle finger at me, call me an anti-Semite, and yell at me that Palestinians deserve to be bombed. (1/4)
Fuck off, Pierre, you pathetic little weasel.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, karma is going to come and fuck you up, you fuckin’ hoser.

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.
In one of the more interesting moments in the campaign, @42kareemallam - who was @KevinFalcon’s leadership campaign manager - whips up the crowd in Yaletown and explains why he’s taken out an NDP membership to vote for @Dave_Eby
People expect governments to work together to tackle the housing crisis and provide more homes for people. 🏡
Which is why I’m proud to announce today that: nearly 90% of BC communities have already adopted small-scale multi-unit legislation!

Hey @MatadorRest - My partner and I are coming to Redmond this weekend and are dying for a meal with you. What time does your food service go until on Friday night?
Welcome to the family new baby Gwendolyn Kay Eby! 9 lbs 6 oz. Everyone is happy and healthy. Gwen’s name comes from Great Grandma, long time Victoria resident, born on the prairies. Thanks to our obstetrics team, the great nursing and hospital staff for all your amazing work ❤️
We’re leaving no stone unturned in our work to deliver more homes for people, faster. 🏡
In January, we commissioned a report to work with all partners on updates to the Building Code with Single Egress Stairs.
Today, I released that report:

We didn't ask the police for an apology, we demanded lasting change from @JohnTory and Toronto's political class. we continue to demand police defunding and ultimately abolition, and no apology can substitute for that

This is what a political arsonist looks like up close.
When real leadership was needed to de-escalate this occupation Candice saw political gain.
"We need to turn this into the PM's problem".
She turned it into Canada's problem.
Respectfully, @ChrisWalkerCBC, the far-left threat in this country is a fantasy. I challenge you to give concrete examples of how the far-left has organized and threatened democratic norms vs the far-right and people like Pat King and Tamara Lich.
Prove me wrong.
The sad irony: The "freedom" convoy actually had a lot of freedom...To travel across the country. To honk their horns all day & night. To party in hot tubs. To occupy Ottawa for 3 straight weeks.
Privilege is having freedom & having no clue that you have it.
Sometimes as an MP you get to add to the rich history of parliamentary language.
The House verification team have asked me to define the term "boo hoo" generation.
It is the whining sound of Conservative backbenchers using a national crisis to promote grievance and paranoia.
So…Zexi Li, the 21-year-old Ottawa resident leading a class-action lawsuit vs the “Freedom Convoy,” says that one of the protestors actually backed his truck onto a sidewalk in an attempt to hit her yesterday.
Zexi Li is the DEFINITION of a hero.
Who else stands with her? ✋🏾
