Common sense conservative. Golden retriever enthusiast. AirPod evangelist. Agreeable contrarian. 🇨🇦

Last month I left my role in the Opposition Leader’s Office ahead of the start of the legislative session.

It was a privilege to advance @PierrePoilievre's common sense Conservative agenda across our great country for the past two & a half years.

There’s nothing @doodoos2008’s butter tarts couldn’t sweeten!

Honoured to meet Canada’s legendary butter tart queen at @ButterTartFstvl & spend a pretty sweet day with friends old & new in Midland.

@J_L_Partners @CarsonSCBradley Congratulations Carson! Ottawa’s loss is New York’s gain.

[Sebastian Skamski @Skamski]

A bittersweet sign off from the @CTV_PowerPlay Front Bench panel!

It was a delight to bring common sense commentary to Canadian airwaves.

Thanks to @VassyKapelos, my co-panelists, & the CTV team who made it so special.

Grateful to all who tuned in & engaged! Till next time! 👋🏼

🇵🇱✝️ 21 years ago, John Paul II passed away, a figure whose influence extended far beyond religion and helped reshape European history.

He became one of the key figures of the 20th century, playing a vital role in the fall of Poland’s communist regime.

His impact is recognized even by those outside of Catholicism: the Pope’s moral authority and his support for society became a powerful force that weakened the system from within.

The election of Polish cardinal Karol Wojtyła to the Holy See in 1978 shocked the Soviet Union and the entire socialist bloc.

In Moscow, there was a longstanding concern about Polish Catholicism and its influence on society, while communist authorities in Warsaw repeatedly sought to limit the Church’s role.

His visits to Poland were especially significant. His first trip in 1979 proved to be a turning point: millions took to the streets, and his words “Do not be afraid” sounded like a political signal.

These visits strengthened society and catalyzed the rise of the Solidarity movement.

On April 2, 2005, the day he died, Poland essentially stopped. Thousands gathered in streets, squares, and churches across the country.

In Warsaw, Kraków, and other cities, people held spontaneous vigils, lit candles, and stood in silence. Television broadcasts were interrupted, streets emptied, and the nation experienced a rare moment of unity.

His influence was not only political or religious, but it was deeply personal for millions.

His legacy encompasses not only faith but also freedom, dignity, and resistance to oppression.

Dziś przypada rocznica śmierci Jana Pawła II. Wspominamy wielkiego Polaka, który uczył nas odwagi, wiary, solidarności i miłości do Ojczyzny. Pamiętamy.

The future belongs to Canada.

[Cole Hogan @colewhogan]

I suggest you listen to @PierrePoilievre speak about his daughter Valentina.

He discusses how she's changed his view on politics and offers advice for parents of autistic children.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine_]

A beautiful and deeply personal moment where Pierre Poilievre opens up about his father being gay.

Bittersweet watching @Skamski’s final CTV Power Play: Front Bench panel 🥲

Week after week, he brought a thoughtful, principled Conservative voice to Canada’s most pressing political and policy challenges.

So proud of you, my friend.

[Sebastian Skamski @Skamski]

Deal or no deal, Mark Carney promised to protect Canadian workers & get major projects built.

We can’t control what the Americans do, but we can get to work in our own backyard. It’s time to get projects built, not just talk about them.

This isn’t rocket science after all! 🚀🌔

[Michelle Rempel Garner @MichelleRempel]

Canada has no obligation to let non-citizens who murder children in Canada stay here.

Jamaica is not a war zone.

This woman lost the privilege of staying in Canada when she murdered a child and should have been deported years ago.

[Sebastian Skamski @Skamski]

Congratulations to the brilliant @elanharper who will make an exceptional MP & serve Canadians proudly as part of @PierrePoilievre’s team!

Whip-smart & hard working, exactly the kind of candidate Conservatives should be putting forward - a great get for @CPC_HQ! 👏🏼

Elan Harper, the sister‑in‑law of former prime minister Stephen Harper, won the Conservative nomination in Calgary Confederation last night. This means she will run against Liberal MP Corey Hogan in the next federal election. #cdnpoli

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

No Canadian flag.

But a flag of a non existent state that is the raison d’être of banned terror groups like Hamas.

But they regard Canada as an “illegitimate settler state” characterized by white supremacy and genocide.

Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave.

Half of the people who were identified as fraudulent cases were granted new permits after their fraudulent ones had lapsed.
We don’t have a competent government in Ottawa.

“Dumpster fire” may actually be the polite version…

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Amanda Galbraith on the AG report exposing the foreign student program disasters "Yeah, I think a dumpster fire is a kind way to describe what is before us here."

"And respectfully, if the minister is one saying, I've only been in the job for a fraction of this audit, so don't point the finger at me, you've been part of."

"There's a Liberal government that's been in place for over a decade... it is at their feet."

"...And frankly, this is part of why our... consensus in this country around the benefits of immigration is eroding because we see abuse in the system and this should be taken seriously solve and good for the AG for getting to the bottom of it." @agalbraith
