The Constitution matters. Parliamentary democracy matters. Even in an emergency. Especially in an emergency #cdnpoli

[Adam Chambers @adamchamb]

Socializing losses and privatizing profits is not how it's supposed to work. It is surprising the PM, who lived through the global financial crisis, would encourage this moral hazard.

But there's more. Rents are falling in many markets. And record supply of rental is coming online. The taxpayer through CMHC is already over exposed to rental. This scheme may put taxpayers at even greater risk of losses. More details are needed and should be scrutinized at a Parliamentary Committee.

The Nakba exhibit hasn’t even opened, and it’s already a scandal.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is moving ahead with a Nakba exhibit despite serious concerns from Jewish Canadians that it lacks context and transparency.

The museum consulted anti-Zionist voices, met with the Palestinian representative to Canada, and refuses to tell the full story — including the 850,000 Jewish people forced to flee Arab countries after Israel’s founding.

That is not education. That is political activism dressed up as human rights.

Public money should not be funding one-sided political narratives.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Samuel de Champlain was one of Canada’s greatest founders. This tearing down of statues must end.

Instead, we must celebrate the history of Canada.

Tell our stories, sing our songs, and remember those who built this great country we call home.

That is how we will build up an even stronger Canada.

🚨UPDATE on the lying Liberal MP🚨

YOUR PRESSURE IS WORKING!

Under the Liberals:

• More than 115 municipalities in Ontario have declared intimate partner violence (IPV) an epidemic.

• 3 provinces have officially declared IPV an epidemic:
▪️ Nova Scotia (2024)
▪️ New Brunswick (2025)
▪️ Newfoundland & Labrador (2026)

• Sexual assaults are up 75%.

• Human trafficking is up 84%.

• Violent crime is up 55%.

• A woman is killed every six days in Canada.

• According to Peel Regional Police, a woman is strangled every day.

Meanwhile, violent offenders are repeatedly released on bail while families are left to bury their loved ones.

Your pressure is working. Keep it up!! Message all of them ⬇️⬇️

Victims and survivors deserve respect, not smears, insults, and political deflection.

Demand accountability. Demand an apology, retraction and clarification.

A CBC reporter asked me what we say to Canadians with mental illnesses who’ve been waiting for the government to give them MAID.

My answer is simple: we won’t give up on you. You deserve care and support to get you through your darkest days.

[Mike Lake @MikeLakeMP]

This is just blatant Liberal misinformation. Crime statistics objectively show that Canada is less safe than it was in 2015. This decline happened as a result of intentional decisions made by the Liberal government, and many of those decision makers continue to hold key Cabinet positions today.

If we’re going to improve the situation, we need to be able to start with an accurate assessment of our current state and how we arrived here.

[Andrew Lawton @AndrewLawton]

For those keeping score after nearly 11 years of Liberal bail:

- Total violent crime is up 54.88%.
- Homicides are up 29.39%.
- Total sexual assaults are up 75.97%.
- Total firearms crime is up 130.57%.
- Extortion is up 330.11%.
- Theft of a motor vehicle is up 25.35%.

[Andrew Lawton @AndrewLawton]

Liberal shamelessness is really something else.

Their justice “reforms” from last decade are what keep releasing repeat criminals onto our streets.

They’ve effectively eliminated mandatory minimum sentences.

Liberals are the problem, not the solution.

[Jeff Kibble CML @JeffKibbleCML]

Canadians deserve answers on defence spending. At committee this week, I asked DND officials point blank where the .5 percent GDP in NATO spending actually went — and they couldn't tell me. I also pressed them on a plan for purchasing vital military equipment. No strategy. No plan. Just more uncertainty at a time when our allies are watching. Watch both exchanges below.

[🇨🇦 Blake Richards 🇨🇦 @BlakeRichardsMP]

Since the Liberals cobbled together a majority in Parliament, nearly half of Veterans Affairs Committee meetings have been cancelled or held behind closed doors.

Including today's meeting which the Liberals completely cancelled.

Veterans deserve to be heard, not ignored.

Why is the Carney Government silencing veterans and shutting Canadians out of the conversation?

Is this the level of arrogance and disregard Canadians can expect from this Liberal government?

[Rachael Thomas @RachaelThomasAB]

🚨Shocking: The taxpayer-funded Canadian Museum for Human Rights met with the Palestinian representative to Canada to develop its controversial Nakba exhibit, a deeply divisive and political display.

Many Jewish Canadians and organizations have sounded the alarm, warning that this exhibit risks promoting a one-sided radical narrative that targets Jewish people at a time when antisemitism is already on the rise.

Crown corporations receiving taxpayer dollars should be accountable to the Canadian public, not foreign representatives with radical agendas.

The exhibit must be stopped in its current form. But Minister Marc Miller refuses to do anything.

[Larry Brock @LarryBrockMP]

Bill C-16 creates a “safety valve” that allows judges to sentence below mandatory minimum penalties.

If Liberals believe this power should only be used in the narrowest circumstances, why did they vote against Conservative amendments that would have:
-limited it to first-time offenders 
-prevented sentences from dropping below half the mandatory minimum 
-excluded aggravated sexual assault 
-excluded extortion offences 
-excluded serious violent and child sexual offences 

Every one of those amendments was voted down by the Liberals.

If the safety valve is truly only intended for the rarest cases, why reject every safeguard designed to keep serious violent offenders from using it?

[Michelle Leahy Ferreri @mferreriptbokaw]

She’s a full blown liar.

On behalf of victims and survivors of IPV please hold this woman accountable.

Demand a retraction and apology. Email, call or visit her office:

Same goes for the mandatory sentences in Canada's human trafficking laws. How exactly is this supposed to protect women from violent offenders? #cdnpoli

[Sean Phelan 🇨🇦 @ST_Phelan]

This Liberal MP is spreading misinformation.

It is a FACT that total sexual assaults are up 75.97% since 2015. Here are the numbers from Statistics Canada.

Crime has exploded in Canada since the Liberals took power. Bill C-16 will only make the situation worse #cdnpoli

[Kristina Tesser Derksen @KristinaTesserD]

I've spoken with many people across Ontario who have seen claims about Bill C-16, the Protecting Victims Act, circulating online.

Many were surprised to learn that those claims simply don't match what is actually in the legislation.

That's why I wanted to share a few facts. Bill C-16 creates a new criminal offence for coercive and controlling behaviour in intimate relationships. It strengthens protections for victims of stalking and harassment. It expands protections against AI-generated intimate images used to target and exploit women. It strengthens victims' rights and introduces new measures to help protect children from exploitation and abuse.

Reasonable people can disagree about public policy. That's part of democracy.

But Canadians deserve debates based on facts, not outrage, misinformation, or attention-grabbing headlines. Before sharing a claim online, take a moment to check the source, read beyond the headline, and look at what the legislation actually says.

When it comes to protecting victims and supporting survivors, we should all expect better than political spin.

[Sean Phelan 🇨🇦 @ST_Phelan]

Under C-16, judges will be able to ignore the mandatory sentences for aggravated sexual assault committed with a firearm. So offenders could get a slap on the wrist and be back out on the street in no time to reoffend #cdnpoli

[Shuv Majumdar @shuvmajumdar]

So let’s be clear. Liberal Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP saw reports of Hamas ties within UNRWA.

Then responded with ANOTHER $100 million.

A Jew hating exhibit about to launch at the federally funded Museum of Human Rights.

This is a Canadian museum for Canadian human rights stories, not foreign agendas!

[Michael Chong 🇨🇦 @MichaelChongMP]

Palestinian representatives met with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights during the development of its upcoming Nakba exhibit.

This should be a Canadian museum for a Canadian perspective on human rights, not foreign agendas.

I asked the minister for his position.

[Toronto Crime Watch @CrimewatchTO]

Nothing says ‘tough on crime’ like years of voting to weaken laws and then announcing you’re fixing them.

You voted "yes" to Bill C-75 in 2018 which states "a peace officer, justice or judge shall give primary consideration to the release of the accused at the earliest reasonable opportunity and on the least onerous conditions"

You voted "yes" Bill C-5 in 2022 that repealed mandatory minimum jail sentences for:
-Using a firearm or imitation firearm in commission of offence
-Possession of firearm or weapon knowing its possession is unauthorized
-Possession of prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition
-Possession of weapon obtained by commission of offence
-Weapons trafficking
-Possession for purpose of weapons trafficking
-Importing or exporting knowing it is unauthorized
-Discharging firearm with intent
-Discharging firearm — recklessness
-Robbery with a firearm
-Extortion with a firearm
