Hey All - really don't post much here anymore, nor do I look at the DMs. Come find me on other socials. Until we meet again.✌️ #cdnpoli

Not long ago, a bill tried to ban floor crossings.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner delivered a blunt, clear-eyed case for why that’s a terrible idea — and why she and her colleagues voted it down.

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

Stephen Harper certainly had no problems with MPs crossing the floor.

Unlike Conservatives, I refuse to use my faith as a weapon in the House of Commons.

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

This is not your parents’ Conservative Party — And Brian Mulroney agrees.

📢 Good news!
Canada added 54,000 jobs in November, bringing unemployment to its 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 in 16 months.

But..but..PP keeps saying “Canada is broken!” 🙄

The results are in.
Yesterday's official winner of the internet is @brucefanjoy, the incredible MP for Carleton.
🤣😂🤣😂

This coming from the guy who literally had MPs hiding behind a curtain just one week ago because he was afraid he might accidentally trigger an election with all his rhetoric. 😆

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

Conservatives just keep digging deeper and deeper.
Great job calling it out, @BenCarrwpg.

[Ben Carr @BenCarrwpg]

Questioning the Prime Minister’s loyalty to Canada because he’s overseas securing trade deals isn’t the kind of serious leadership Canadians expect.

Conservatives: “Extortion is a problem!”

Liberals: “We agree. Here are two bills to help fix it.”

Conservatives: “We’re voting against them!”

Tonight Budget 2025 passed on a vote of 170 - 168.

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

Canadians don’t want a Christmas election — they want a budget that meets the moment.
Budget 2025 strengthens our defence, speeds up nation-building projects, and boosts trade diversification for the economy of tomorrow.

Pssst…the whole world is talking about it now. 😱

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

This childish statement *actually* came from Pierre Poilievre’s office. Zero ability to self reflect and completely unwillingly to accept even the tiniest amount of responsibility for what happened. 🤦‍♂️

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

It’s been a horrible week for Pierre Poilievre as progressive MPs are one by one abandoning the Conservative Party of Canada.

[Ryan Turnbull 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @TurnbullWhitby]

There is no way for Conservatives to spin better than expected job numbers as bad news!

Canada’s economy is strong and only going to get stronger and more resilient as a result of generational investments in Budget 2025! 🇨🇦💪🏻

The Conservative MP benches were EMPTY for today’s budget vote. If they can’t even be bothered to show up for critical House votes, how can they expect to be taken seriously as a political party?!
