🚨The Liberals are backpedaling!
Last week they said they couldn’t do anything about the CRTC’s decision to triple the streaming tax and voted against our Conservative motion to reject the costly increase.
Today, the Liberals said they are ordering the CRTC to review the streaming tax.
Turns out, they could have stood up for Canadian consumers all along but refused to do anything until Conservatives applied pressure.
Mark Carney led Canada to the only recession in the G7 through failed Liberal policies but has repeatedly refused to change his approach.
How much longer can Canadians afford this?
I had a good meeting with representatives of SCI:First for Hunters which represents hunters in Canada and internationally and are active in conservation.
As an economist Carney likes to quote projections, but Conservatives live in reality, and the reality is the Liberal prime minister Mark Carney is the only G7 leader that put his economy into recession.
Sure, Liberals say, Canada is the only G7 country in recession.
Sure, two back-to-back quarters of shrinking GDP is the textbook definition of a recession.
But, they say, it is just a “technical recession”. A fluke. Everything else is great.
So let’s look beyond the back-to-back quarterly decline: Canada’s unemployment is now the 2nd highest in the G7—a third higher than in the U.S.—as Canada lost 112,300 jobs in just three months, leaving 45,800 more Canadians jobless since Carney became Prime Minister.
The economy contracted in three of Carney's four quarters in office, something unmatched in the G7, as business investment fell another 0.7% for a fifth straight quarterly decline, and more than $20 billion in net investment fled Canada.
Meanwhile, insolvencies hit their highest levels since 2009, up nearly 19%, with 1.5 million Canadians missing debt payments in just three months and mortgage delinquencies rising 32%.
Canadian households carry by far the highest debt in the G7, while food bank use continues to surge. 1 in 10 GTA residents are now relying on them and visits are hitting a record 4.1 million last year—up 340% since 2019. Nationwide, food bank demand is up 100% in 7 years.
Almost all these measures are worse than when Carney took office and worse than any other G7 country—so blaming world events or tariffs won’t cut it.
Stop the excuses. Own it: This is a full-blown Carney Recession.
While millions of Canadians struggle every single day just to put food on the table, Carney’s luxury in-flight catering costs soared sky high to $195,000 for just three trips.

I had the opportunity to welcome the Serbian foreign affairs minister and his delegation to Parliament with the Canada-Serbia Parliamentary Friendship Group.
We discussed ways to improve economic ties between our two nations and about the new direct flight from Toronto to Belgrade with Air Serbia.
Big shoutout to @NedKurucMP for all his work.
I was pleased to meet with members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Canada Post is extremely important to our community and country despite the last 11 years of an overbearing and interventionalist Liberal government causing Canada Post to run deficits of over $1.5 billion. Conservatives will revitalize Canada Post to make it more financially sustainable while delivering quality mail service to all Canadians.
At the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus @HunterandAngler Clays Competition in Washington with @ctochor
We along with U.S. Members of Congress and Senators support conservation, preserving public access and sport shooting.
Our shared 100+ year Canada-U.S. outdoor sporting heritage remains strong.
Canadians deserve more money in their pockets.
Canada could be affordable by ending Liberal inflationary deficit spending and Liberal taxes to bring down the cost of food and transportation.
Will Carney listen?
What do you mean you have done enough?
Gas prices are 13.4% higher in Canada than in the U.S., and 50 cents-a-litre higher than under Harper, when oil was also at $100 a barrel.
Get rid of all the taxes on gas for the rest of the year so Canadians can afford gas and groceries: https://t.co/w3HLM90tut
First it was Bill C-11 controlling what Canadians see online.
Then Bill C-18 blocking and manipulating access to news.
Now Bill C-22 takes the next step: surveillance and state control.
Signal, the encrypted messaging app, says it would rather leave Canada than comply.
Why? Because this bill reportedly gives government sweeping powers to force surveillance capabilities into private technology.
Think about the pattern:
C-11 → control the algorithms
C-18 → control the news
C-22 → access the devices themselves
This is no longer about “safety” or “protecting Canadians.”
It is about control.
A government that froze bank accounts without court orders, shut off committee cameras, and faces hundreds of unresolved wrongdoing complaints now wants expanded access into your digital life.
Canadians should be asking a very serious question:
How much freedom are we prepared to surrender in the name of government “oversight”?
