Actually, while you attempt to clumsily wield your axe,
@JustinTrudeau
is masterfully using a scalpel to respond to Canadian’s needs, which shows thoughtful & serious leadership. Wrecking havoc is easy. Steering a ship through uncharted waters takes skill that you do not possess.
After plummeting in the polls, a flailing, desperate Trudeau is now flipping and flopping on the carbon tax as I am holding a gigantic axe the tax rally in a Liberal-held Atlantic riding.
He is admitting he’s not worth the cost.
When the Cons are feeling the heat & threatened they start making stuff up (being polite) & creating diversions. The real issue is why their leader refuses to get a security check during one of the most globally unsettled times in recent history. Good to see 🇨🇦 Defence presence.
@jamesbezan
We’re more than happy to explain our naval deployments to Conservatives who might need a refresher.
As you know, Canada has been tracking the Russian flotilla with a warship and aircraft.
To demonstrate Canada’s military presence, HMCS Margaret Brooke is also visiting Havana.
I don’t understand “but he’s an embarrassment on the world stage”. The PM has made more effort on re-establishing & fostering global relationships than Harper ever thought of doing & he has done so with diplomacy & dignity. Like our fiscal record, it is something to be proud of.
Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. Read a summary of their meeting:

Back in Perth at the doors today & had a great reception! A lot were pleasantly surprised to hear how close so many of the polls were last time. Hope is much stronger than fear!

What a novel idea - investing in preventative care that so many can’t afford & which will result in savings our health care system desperately needs - the improved quality of life is priceless!
Dental restoration is the most common surgery at
@CHEO
, most often caused by a lack of preventative care. Same at most Canadian children's hospitals.
Oral pain impacts kids' sleep, growth, behaviour and learning.
This new program will hopefully help keep children out of hospital.
Thank you to the Cavanagh Family for your incredible generosity, sharing one million dollars to help the Carleton Place Emergency Department fundraiser move even closer to its goal!
Yesterday's incident at the Rainbow Bridge was concerning for us all, but reassuring to see the swift, calm collection of facts for an informed response. A lesson in careful & thorough assessment, as shown by our PM.

Today Randy Hillier has decided to make the Westport Public Library story time a focus of hate. This is not ok. I plan on being there to show our support. We need inclusiveness & acceptance not bigotry & hate. Stand against bullies

Remember this lead to Jan 6 & a deeply divided country. We have been given a glimpse & a chance to do better than this. We have to find a way to unite against it.

It’s important we listen to voters & not just at election time. Today we made rounds in my hometown of Sydenham & heard resident concerns as well as what’s working. More time talking & less time on social media! That’s how we focus on fairness!

@liberal_party
This is appalling! It is so very important that we oppose this type of politics. If you are upset & don’t believe this is the Canada you want then get involved & volunteer with our team. Join us in taking a stand against hate!
#HopeNotHate
I am so sad to learn of the passing of the Honourable Hugh Segal. He was a former Honorary Commander for the Fort Henry Guard, FHG 4, a friend & a mentor. Despite our difference of parties we shared common values & I will be forever grateful for his kindness & counsel.
So very proud of this guy! Perseverance is his middle name, which is a lot of what life is about. You will do great things Keags & we are so happy to see you start your journey up at Carleton! ❤️
My friends, this is not the party Progressive Conservatives once knew. If they repeatedly show you their true colours - believe them. Please do not hold your nose & support them. Stand up & stand for the values the party used to hold.

It’s been a rough week in Lanark-Frontenac. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies involving the students at GREC & those on Bob’s Lake. Our hearts go out to the families of all those affected. Thinking of our first responders with gratitude as well.

So very sad to learn of the passing of Kim Rudd. We were introduced in 2021 when I decided to venture into Federal politics. She was so supportive & happy to speak with me anytime. I always knew she was in my corner & will sincerely miss her. Deepest condolences to her family.
In March 2019,
@ScottReidCPC
demanded that Randy Hillier be reinstated to the PC caucus and said, "it will be an honour for me to campaign in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston on his behalf". Where does Scott Reid stand on Randy's divisive rhetoric?
We completely ran out of popcorn & buttons at Perth’s Festival of the Maples today. Never question the power of hope & taking the time to talk. People want ideas not an 🪓. Thanks to all our great volunteers!

Just got our second shots! So grateful for our strong vaccine program with collaboration at all levels. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers making this happen too - you are awesome & we are so lucky! Keep up the great work Canada!!! 🇨🇦
It’s hard to make progress when conservative provincial governments keep kicking the building blocks over, then try to cry foul. But I believe Canadians are wiser than they think & can see through this a mile away. (Like if I’m right)
The municipal staff who administer the child-care system across Ontario are telling Education Minister Stephen Lecce that an $85.5-million cut to their budgets puts the success of the $10-a-day program at risk.
Happy Canada Day everyone 🇨🇦!!! We had a great start to the day at the

And so he should be afraid, because all the investments the Liberals have made in Canadians since 2015 are producing results & if he waits till 2025 he will have burnt out his base. No one can sustain that level of rage farming indefinitely & he knows it. 🌎🇨🇦🍁
Why is Pierre Poilievre so anxious to get Trudeau out of the way? It doesn’t look like a guy who’s leading in the polls or a guys who’s confident he’ll win the next election. It looks more like a guy who’s afraid to run against Trudeau in 2025.
The choice is clear. We can’t afford to follow the Conservative party backwards - we need strong climate action that helps us move

’s Scott Reid, whose family owns Giant Tiger, is part of those same oligarchic chains. Chains that were also part of the bread price fixing. It’s not about the facts - it’s about playing on people’s emotions. Be informed!

👇Facts matter to Canadians & misleading the public stokes anger & upset. This does not make 🇨🇦 better. Ideas & positive discourse do. Beware of the snake oil folks!
The post ⬇️ by a Conservative MP is wrong —another example of Conservatives misleading people!
The inclusion rate has increased to 66.7% on capital gains over $250k; that defines what is “taxable” not the tax rate!
But facts don’t seem to matter to Conservatives!
