Some in the media are still claiming Canadians aren’t interested in pipelines. That couldn’t be further from the truth, and I was glad to set the record straight with the facts.

Conservatives Launch Investigation into Liberals' Financing of BC Ferries from Chinese Shipyard
July 7, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – Today, Conservatives launched an investigation into the Liberal government's financing of four ships from a Beijing state-owned company for BC Ferries. The Transportation Committee voted for a Conservative motion ordering the testimony of the Minister of Transport, Chrystia Freeland, the Minister of Infrastructure, Gregor Robertson, along with the CEO of the Canada Infrastructure Bank and the head of BC Ferries.

At a time when Canada’s shipbuilding and steel industries are under unjustified attack by American tariffs, Canadians were shocked to learn the federal government is providing $1 billion in low-interest financing for the purchase of foreign ferries. This is despite Mark Carney promising to “establish Buy Canadian standards for federal infrastructure funding,” and saying that Canadian taxpayer dollars should be “invested wisely, including by prioritizing made-in-Canada manufacturing and supply chains.”

This isn’t the first time Canadian workers have lost out. In 2017, the Liberals provided $28 million in funding to BC Ferries for vessel replacements that went to a Dutch company that built the ships in Romania. This project-specific funding is all on top of the over $37 million in annual funding the federal government provides to BC Ferries.

Not only will Canadian shipbuilding jobs be offshored, but the Liberals are financing the purchase from a Communist Party-controlled company. Mark Carney previously called the communist regime in Beijing “the biggest security threat to Canada.” Yet, his Liberal government is now providing taxpayer dollars to China Merchants Industry Weihai Shipyards, which brags about being “a key state-owned enterprise directly administered by the central government.”

Canadians deserve accountability to make sure their money is not supporting Beijing state-owned enterprises at the expense of Canadian workers. Conservatives will get answers for Canadians and ensure their tax dollars are putting Canadian shipbuilders, workers and industry first.

A veteran host just blew the whistle: question the state-funded broadcaster's narrative, and you get demoted or shut down.

This isn’t journalism. It’s taxpayer-funded groupthink & Liberal propaganda.

David Eby and the NDP handed BC Ferries contracts to a Chinese state-owned shipyard—one tied to slave labour, no environmental standards, and the CCP’s military-industrial complex.

Meanwhile, B.C. shipbuilders can’t compete because of the NDP’s industrial carbon tax and red tape.

Don’t buy the spin about “no local bids.” Our yards didn’t stand a chance.

Now even Ottawa’s furious—and Eby’s scrambling. He sold out our jobs, our industry, and our security.

This is exactly what I warned about for weeks.

1/4: Timout for a little business: I previously posted about the Canada Infrastructure Bank providing $1 billion in taxpayer funding to BC Ferries to purchase four new Chinese PRC-made ferries. Conservatives vowed to get to the bottom of that decision.

Politicians from different parties toured @Seaspan in North Van recently, emerging with differing opinions about BC Ferries’ decision to build new ships in China and next steps to grow local shipbuilding.

Folks, this is Valley Waste Recycling. Boxes and boxes of COVID test kits. Dumped. 540 per box...If we do the math, that's $400,000 worth of tests. Your tax dollars in the GARBAGE.

[Karm Sumal @KarmSumal]

For all the debt BC is in we have nothing to show for it that isn’t the usual stuff during a political term. No special projects. No light rail, Skytrain to UBC or North shore. Nothing. What an epic mismanagement of tax dollars. No investment in growing the economy. No support for small business. This is just sad. We should be thinking big to invest for the future. Lure the right kind of international investment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 3rd, 2025

Ottawa, ON — Larry Brock, Member of Parliament for Brantford–Brant South–Six Nations, has launched a national petition calling on the Liberal government to repeal its soft-on-crime legislation and immediately reform Canada’s failing bail system.

“Police are doing their job, pulling illegal guns, fentanyl, and violent offenders off the streets, but thanks to Liberal soft-on-crime laws Bill C-5 and C-75, the same violent criminals keep walking free over and over again. When is the justice system going to do its part?

“Since the Liberals came to power in 2015, violent crime in Canada has increased by 50%, with sexual assaults up 74%, gang-related homicides up 78%, gun crime up 116%, and extortion exploding by 357%.

“And increasingly it’s repeat violent offenders committing these crimes; individuals who never should have been back on the streets in the first place.

“That’s why I’m calling on the federal government to take immediate action and:
1. Amend Canada’s Criminal Code to make bail more restrictive for repeat violent offenders, especially those charged with firearms offences, intimate partner violence, and serious violent crimes;
2. Repeal Bill C-5, which eliminated mandatory minimum sentences for serious violent offences;
3. Repeal the so-called “principle of restraint” introduced in Bill C-75, which instructs judges to release accused offenders “at the earliest possible opportunity” under the “least onerous conditions”;
4. Support law enforcement and victims’ rights advocates by ensuring the justice system puts public safety first and provides real consequences for repeat violent offenders, and;
5. Work with provinces, territories, and Indigenous communities to ensure consistent and effective bail policies across Canada.

“This is an issue all members of all parties heard during the campaign. Canadians are scared, and they’re tired of revolving door justice. Judges want to keep violent offenders behind bars, but their hands are tied.

“That’s why we need a change to our justice system that ends the soft-on-crime laws enabling repeat offenders and backs our police, protects victims, and keeps dangerous criminals off our streets.”

Interesting part is mayor of Stewart writing letter to EHS, Northern Health and Min Josie Osborne June 25 asking for info + help and getting... nothing.
No response from anyone.
Then phoning EHS leadership and getting told to wait for media dept to reply to her letter.
A mayor.

Let’s talk about immigration.

The Alberta we know and love was built by newcomers from all over Canada and the world; however, immigration levels must also be sustainable…and the Liberal’s open border policies have destroyed that balance resulting in high inflation and increased unemployment.  

The Alberta Next Panel is asking: should Alberta take control of our own immigration system to ensure a more sustainable number newcomers that will more strongly contribute to our economy.

Blanchet "I get the impression that Mr. Carney has borrowed Mr. Trudeau's spine"

[Harman Bhangu @HarmanBhanguBC]

Carney’s Canada video was a snoozefest — until you actually listen to the gaslighting coming out of his mouth!

He claims Canada is going to rebuild using “all things Canadian.” Meanwhile, his government handed Eby’s NDP a BILLION DOLLARS— so they could send it to China to build ferries for our province.

Six months of preaching Buy Canadian — the second a major project drops, the money’s shipped overseas, fueling a regime openly engaged in unrestricted warfare.

It’s not just hypocrisy. It’s a slap in the face.

[Larry Brock @LarryBrockMP]

Canada’s crime crisis is out of control — and Liberal bail laws are making it worse.

I joined Northern Perspective to talk about why we need urgent bail reform, and how soft-on-crime laws like C-5 and C-75 are putting our communities at risk.

🖊️ Sign my petition to demand bail reform now and show this Liberal government that Canadians have had enough.

[Larry Brock @LarryBrockMP]

Everyday repeat violent offenders walk free, again and again.

Police are doing their job. But revolving door bail laws are tying judges’ hands and putting our communities at risk.

📢 Sign the petition and send a message to the government: it’s time to end the soft-on-crime laws and fix our broken bail system.

Liberals let a banned terror group keep charitable tax status. Totally insane.

Lock up their leaders. Strip their charitable tax breaks.

[Northern Perspective @NorthrnPrspectv]

Larry Brock is not your typical politician.

He sees it, and calls it like it is.

And he's had about enough of the disastrous policies that Trudeau introduced, and Carney is keeping.

Now he's trying to do something about it.

But he needs your help.
