Grateful for my amazing team of volunteers working around the clock to put up signs, and thankful for all my supporters requesting lawn signs and showing their support at the doors. We are on our way to turning Nepean blue and bringing common sense back. It’s time to put Canada first—for a change and for our next generation!🇨🇦

Another Day….Another Tax Cut. This time for Seniors in Nepean!

Seniors in Canada have spent their lives building this country and they should not be penalized for continuing to work and save for retirement. That’s why Conservatives are committed to policies that will help balance the family budget:

✅ Allowing working seniors to earn up to $34,000 tax-free—an increase of $10,000.
✅ Extending RRSP savings growth until age 73 instead of 71.
✅ Keeping the retirement age at 65.

Seniors should not be in a position where they feel that are forced to work. Those who choose to work, should be able to keep more of what they earn.

Are you ready to put Canada First for a change, with a new Conservative government? 🇨🇦

Conservatives will get the job done and put Canada First, while Liberals make promises they never keep. After a decade of failure, their record speaks for itself. Let’s put Canada First—for a change! 🇨🇦

It was so humbling to see the turnout that we had at our campaign office last night. We hosted training for the new wave of volunteers that have signed up. The Conservative momentum is growing daily; Nepean is ready to put Canada First!🇨🇦

[Barbara Bal @BarbaraBalCPC]

Nepean, another incredible day on the campaign trail with my amazing volunteers! The Canada First Conservative message is resonating, with a renewed hope for Canada, and our future generation! 🇨🇦💙

With 28 years of experience in law enforcement, I will work hard alongside our Canada First Conservative leader and Canada’s next Prime Minister, @PierrePoilievre to bring home safe streets and safe communities to Nepean and Canada. It’s time to put Canada First—for a change!🇨🇦

[Barbara Bal @BarbaraBalCPC]

GREAT NEWS, Nepean! This week, our Canada First Conservative leader and next Prime Minister, Pierre Poilievre, announced a 15% income tax cut and the removal of the GST on new homes up to $1.3 million.

Conservatives are cutting taxes so you can keep more of your paycheck and help balance the family budget.

While Liberals keep making life more expensive, Conservatives are working hard for Canadians and putting Canada First. 🇨🇦

My wonderful team and I had another great day at the doors! One of the most talked-about issues was the rise in violent crime in our community. With 28 years in law enforcement, I’m committed to working hard to restore safety to our streets and communities. Let’s put Canada first—for a change! 🇨🇦

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Canada First Conservatives will bring mandatory life sentences for:

❌ Mass gun smugglers
❌ Human traffickers
❌ Fentanyl traffickers

These monsters should rot in jail for the crime, death and destruction they cause to our people: https://t.co/u9eFS3joij

Another day, another good news for Nepean’s trade workers! It’s time to respect our trade workers who travel from coast-to-coast, helping get our country moving forward. Let’s put our Canada’s workers first—for a change!🇨🇦

[Barbara Bal @BarbaraBalCPC]

The snowstorm didn’t stop me and my team from door knocking today! We’re having a fantastic day connecting with both longtime and new supporters at the doors. Our local volunteers have been with me all day, keeping the energy strong and positive. The community is coming together, united for Nepean and committed to putting Canada First. 🇨🇦

Saget lit up. "I got in a car which drove me to a venue, walked directly on stage, the crowd erupted, I walked off stage and got right back in a car. It was the best!"

It really was. RIP, Bob Saget.

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

Many years later Ryan was hanging in LA with mutual friend Jeff Garlin when Saget showed up. After a while, Ryan asked him if he even remembers walking on stage at the Boston Opera House during the Guster show...

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

Except Bob Saget actually burst through the banner. The crowd went fucken bananas. He hugged Ryan, shook the band members' hands, waved at the crowd, told Ryan “this is awesome" and walked off stage. That was it...

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

... he's strumming his guitar super aggressively because he thinks this is a lame joke, an exercise in anti-climax. That we’ll have our bus driver or our guitar tech burst through and then play a deflated encore after riling up the crowd with an unfulfilled promise.

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

The encore comes and we realize we never even told Adam about the plan. We’re onstage getting the audience to chant “Bob! Bob! Bob!” so that Bob Saget might magically burst through this oversized sheet of paper, and I can see Adam getting super annoyed...

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

..in some capacity. We reached out to his management to ask if he’d burst through a Bob Saget banner during our encore.

They told us to go ahead and make the banner. It was really homespun...

[Brian Rosenworcel @bowl_of_worcel]

I have a Bob Saget story to share.

I never really met him. But in 2007 Guster was playing at the Boston Opera House. We noticed that Saget was performing a sold out show at the Orpheum down the street, and we thought it’d be funny to invite him to appear on stage with us...
