Downtown Kitchener Ontario. Anyone remember growing up in Canada and seeing anything like this? How about prior to 2015? Trudeau has failed Canadians & Canada in immeasurable ways.

Canadians!!!. This is your Parliament on a confidence vote. Both sides of House with empty seats. Where are Cabinet Ministers & MPs? Virtual Parliament undermines the seriousness of debate & votes. Attendance on votes in Parliament should be compulsory.

Laureen and I are profoundly saddened to learn of the passing of a great Canadian and valued friend and colleague, the Hon. Chuck Strahl. Chuck was an outstanding Minister of Agriculture, Transport, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and, a valued colleague at the Cabinet table.  An early ally in helping build our united Conservative Party, over the course of 18 years in Parliament he was a respected voice for his constituents and a tireless advocate for western Canada.     None who served with Chuck will ever forget his warm and personable character, natural talent as a communicator, and striking baritone voice. Chuck was also a man of abiding faith. His positivity shone through even as he navigated the toughest of challenges.      Chuck’s greatest legacy was his family, of which he was rightly proud. Debby, Karina, Mark, Loni, and Kyla – thank you for supporting Chuck through his many years of public service. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Last night, as Canadians began to celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend, Israelis were attacked by the terror group, Hamas. Today, as Canada wakes up to unspeakable images of terror, pain and war we must remain shoulder to shoulder with Israel as it responds to, and defends itself from, these criminal and cowardly acts of terror. To friends in Israeli and around the world, I hope you know that today and always, through fire and water, Canada will stand with you.
