The generation that fought the Second World War is passing. Their sacrifice secured our freedoms. Now it's our turn to carry the torch and keep their memory alive. Read more.

Ontario is Canada’s electricity powerhouse. But we need to dream bigger. Demand for AI compute gives us a unique opportunity to finance a massive upgrade to our grid and become a global leader in compute capacity.

While paying my respects to the fallen soldiers on Veterans Day/ Remembrance Day, I ran into the conservative party leader, Pierre Poilievre. We had a quick conversation before heading down to the legion. Never forget the 4 soldiers who paid the ultimate price on October 17, 2026: • Sgt. Morgan Wong (Age 26, from Edmonton, Alberta; Loyal Edmonton Regiment / 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) • Pte. Shaun Farrell (Age 23, from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; 3rd Battalion PPCLI) • Pte. Aidan Goulding (Age 23, from North Vancouver, British Columbia; 3rd Battalion PPCLI) • Pte. Hayden Lykkemark (Age 19, from Langley, British Columbia; 3rd Battalion PPCLI) Lest we forget ❤️ – at Wainwright, Alberta

Today is Remembrance Day. Wear a poppy to honour the Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. Lest we forget.

This year marks the Royal Canadian Legion's 100th anniversary. For a century, the Legion has stood up for Canada’s veterans, supported their families and fought to ensure those who served are never forgotten. Wear a poppy and donate to the Legion’s Poppy Campaign in honour of those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten.

On Remembrance Day, we must look beyond the cenotaphs and poppies to the lives interrupted, families left waiting, and communities forever changed by war. We honour those who never came home, and those who did carrying wounds seen and unseen. Remembrance is the least we can do.

This is the type of government-funded slop you get from CBC Kids? “Some feel that the red poppy focuses too much on soldiers and can be perceived as glorifying war.” I would argue we don't focus enough. Generations of young men never came home. They never fell in love, started families or had the chance to grow old. Their sacrifice helped secure the freedoms we enjoy today. From Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach to Kandahar, Canada's military history is one of service and sacrifice. We should be teaching the next generation to understand that history, not lose sight of it.
Here is a CBC Kids broadcast segment originally published in 2021, promoting different coloured poppies during Remembrance Day because “some feel that the red poppy focuses too much on soldiers and can be perceived as glorifying war.” The segment highlights the white poppy for civilians, a black poppy for African, Caribbean and Pacific Island communities, a purple poppy for animals and a rainbow poppy for “contributions the LGBTQ community has made to war efforts.”

Remember their deeds. Honour their courage. Inspire the next generation. We created this tribute to the Canadian Armed Forces, set to a song celebrating the viewers who make up the NP Nation. All proceeds from the video will be donated to support CAF veterans. #RemembranceDay #ARMY #AirForce #Navy

Canadians should have the right to pray on a day as solemn as Remembrance Day. We honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could have the freedoms we enjoy today. Sign the petition
Mark Carney has absolutely no right to tell ANY Canadian where or when they can pray. Sign my e-petition calling on him to reverse his discriminatory religious directive and allow us the freedom to pray at official Remembrance Day ceremonies: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

These numbers are stark — a grim reality. Too many young Canadians are skipping meals to get through the day. Two in five Canadians aged 18 to 34 are skipping meals. That’s not a statistic. That’s a generation struggling to eat.
No Canadian should have to skip a meal because they can’t afford groceries. Yet 2 in 5 young Canadians aged 18–34 have skipped meals because the cost of food is too high.

The National Citizens Coalition and President Peter Coleman are sounding the alarm: reckless borrowing, an uncontainable deficit, red-tape, and unsustainable immigration are putting Canada’s productive economic future at grave risk. Read the release: nationalcitizens.ca/release_…

Shocking. Canadians are skipping meals to make ends meet just to afford to eat at the end of the day. Why? Soaring grocery costs. This is Canada in 2026. It shouldn’t be happening.
1 in 3 Canadians report skipping meals due to grocery costs: Survey torontosun.com/news/national…

A $62.3 billion deficit is bad enough. But with interest on our national debt projected to hit $85 billion by 2030, Canadians are paying an ever-growing price for yesterday’s decisions.

I have dozens of agents reading the budget, using my extensive policy and parliamentary database to understand the implications for dozens of sectors. It'll be here when it's all done (soon). federalbudget.ca/

Ottawa just tabled a new budget. The numbers are eye-popping. Canada’s deficit sits at $62.3 billion this year. Interest on our debt is climbing fast from $60 billion now to $85 billion by 2030. That’s not investment. That’s a bill for programs locked in by governments long gone. Every dollar spent servicing old debt is a dollar that isn’t spent on Canadians.

Last night, the average voter got their revenge. Voters don't forgive leaders who let trade fights drive up the cost of gas, groceries, and the basics. Americans felt it. They punished the party in charge. Canadians are feeling the consequences of a trade war with our closest neighbour, paying more for less. The median voter doesn't care about your negotiating strategy. They care what it costs to fill the tank and feed the kids. Any government, Washington or Ottawa, that forgets that is on borrowed time.
