The Liberals could lower gas and diesel prices today by scrapping their costly fuel standard tax. But they refuse. Conservatives put forward a motion to remove all federal taxes on gas and diesel, including the fuel standard tax. Mark Carney and his Liberals voted against it. Canadians need relief at the pumps, not more Liberal taxes. The Liberals had a choice: scrap the fuel standard tax, remove all federal fuel taxes until at least Canada Day, and give Canadians a break. Instead, they chose higher costs for Canadians.

We’ve heard what matters to Albertans. Keeping taxes low and making life more affordable. That's why we've reduced the education portion of your property tax bill and frozen the rate for three years. Every municipality in Alberta will now pay the same fair, consistent rate. That certainty matters. It helps families plan their household budgets and gives municipalities the confidence to plan theirs. A special thank you to Mayor Jeromy Farkas @JeromyYYC for his advocacy and willingness to work with us to get this right.

BC Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson on the federal tanker ban: "it is punitive against Canadian companies and only Canadian companies... It's a little bit bizarre to me that the only companies that can't are Canadians."

For fucks sake “we” didn’t ban Pride flags. We banned all flags other than Canada. And AB. “Do your homework” is my message to the moron writing this narrative. Or quit. You can do better @globeandmail

🚨 BLOCKED: Ottawa continues to restrict Western Canada’s energy export options. Liberals, New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois voted to defeat Bill C-264, which would have repealed the federal oil tanker ban on B.C.’s northern coast.

Mark Carney promised to make Canada an energy superpower. Today, his Liberals voted against Conservative Bill C-264 to repeal their shipping ban. Strathcona Resources has proposed exporting up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert, but the ban stands in the way. Repealing it would open the door to proposals like this, creating opportunities for Canadian jobs, private investment, and new export markets beyond the U.S. The Liberals had a chance to work with Conservatives to open new markets for Canadian oil and reduce our dependence on the U.S. Instead, they voted against Bill C-264. Energy superpower promises, same old Liberal roadblocks.

The best person for the job should get the job. Period. Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions. Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

Strathcona Resources is proposing to ship up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day by rail to Prince Rupert and then on to overseas markets. Only one thing stands in the way: Mark Carney's tanker ban. Let’s create more 🇨🇦 jobs, get better prices for our resources, and be less dependent on the U.S. by voting YES to Conservative MP @DMcKenzieCPC's bill on Wednesday to scrap the tanker ban and put Canada first.

Canadian oil & gas is not a "necessary evil,” as Liberals would say. Our abundant energy is a contribution to higher living standards and the well-being of humanity: conservative.ca/cpc/more-can…

Sì racconta che un giorno Winston Churchill passeggiasse per Londra insieme alla moglie Clementine. I passanti riconoscevano il Primo Ministro, lo salutavano e cercavano di scambiare qualche parola con lui. A un certo punto, uno spazzino si avvicinò alla coppia. Ma anziché rivolgersi a Churchill, si fermò a parlare con Clementine, con una confidenza che incuriosì il marito. «Chi era quell’uomo?», le chiese. «Un vecchio corteggiatore. Molti anni fa era innamorato di me.» Churchill sorrise, compiaciuto: «Pensa, cara. Se lo avessi sposato, oggi saresti la moglie di uno spazzino.» Clementine lo guardò e, senza perdere la calma, rispose: «Ti sbagli, Winston. Se avessi sposato lui, oggi sarebbe lui il Primo Ministro.»

How can any Liberal MP in their right mind not want to go after the $434.8 million that was wrongly paid out for the Dental Plan. This is taxpayers' hard earned money. The Liberals have no right to not to try to get taxpayer monies back. This is the same as when Ms Joly said it would not be in the best interest of Canadians to recoup the billions "lost" in the Green Energy scandal. When will the Elbows Up crowd get angry over the loss of tax dollars.

How come neither the ROYAL FAMILY nor Carney made any comment at all about Quebec recently bypassing the oath of allegiance to the MONARCHY, but they surely spoke up about Alberta 👀
