Liberal Laws Cost Canadians Their Jobs

November 24, 2025

Last night, ConocoPhillips, a major global oil and gas company and longtime contributor to Canada’s economy, announced layoffs at its Canadian operations. That means just weeks before Christmas, workers will have to go home and tell their families that they’ve lost their jobs.

Make no mistake, this is the direct result of Liberal anti-energy policies that continue to drive out companies that once believed in Canada and Canadian workers. Only Conservatives will scrap anti-development job-killing Liberals laws and put Canadian workers first, for a change.

Carney Made You a Promise and he Failed

October 25, 2025

Mark Carney told Canadians he was the man with the plan and that he would negotiate a win with President Trump and get a deal for Canada by July 21st.

It's now October, and Canada still has no deal. Carney made you a promise and he has failed.

C-5 Exposes Liberal Failures

October 24, 2025

“The favour that C-5 did for us is to outline which pieces of legislation are the problem.”

Natural resources expert says Bill C-5 merely highlights the real problem: Liberal anti-development laws that block building. According to her, what Canada really needs is to reform those anti-development policies to give investors certainty.

Meeting with the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities

October 23, 2025

Thank you to Robert, Sheila, and Shawn from the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities for a comprehensive discussion about defending Canadian farmers from Beijing’s canola tariffs, infrastructure for rural areas, the importance of energy and natural resources development to rural and remote communities, decentrializing funding and decision making power to actually serve the needs of rural Canadians everywhere.

SARM also advocates for the continued need for the responsible use of Strychnine to stop the hundreds of millions farmers have already lost, to protect cropland and livestock; and the rural way of life. I will fight for farmers who continue to call on the Liberals to reverse their anti-science ban, especially during a grocery cost-of-living crisis that the Liberals have created.

Carney Can’t Double Exports While Blocking Canadian Energy

October 23, 2025

Last night, Mark Carney announced that Canada will somehow double its non-US exports. But how does he plan to do that when his anti-development laws, taxes, and policies that block Canadian energy and critical mineral exports, remain in place?

Mark Carney cannot double non-US energy exports until he repeals the Shipping Ban, Bill C-48, that blocks exports to Asia. Not until he scraps C-50, the so-called “Just Transition” bill that kills energy export jobs, and not until he greenlights a West-to-East pipeline to get Canadian energy to Europe.

Until then, all of this is just more Liberal empty promises and rhetoric.

Liberal Laws Strangle Canadian Mining

October 23, 2025

WATCH: Critical minerals expert says Liberal anti-development laws strangle Canadian mining.

According to Dr. Exner-Pirot, the Impact Assessment Act, federal industrial carbon tax, and CERs drive up costs, create uncertainty, and block investment in Canadian mining. She adds that Bill C-5 and the Major Projects Office are an unlikely fix and what Canada needs is real structural reform to unleash its resource potential.

Expert: Scrap Bill C-69 to Make Canada Competitive Again

October 22, 2025

WATCH: Critical minerals expert tells Parliament that the Liberals must remove their mandatory requirements that have nothing to do with the technical, environmental, or economic aspects of major projects for assessment, and repeal the No New Pipelines Never Build Anything Anywhere Bill C-69 that blocks private sector investment and only creates uncertainty.

Only then will Canada be internationally competitive and be a place where investors have the confidence to build.

Liberal Laws Kill Reconciliation

October 22, 2025

“First Nations people across Canada lost the right to shape their future. We lost the right to be heard.”

Liberal anti-development laws like the Shipping Ban C-48 kill economic reconciliation opportunities and Indigenous-led resource development.

Conservatives believe in reconciliACTION and know that Indigenous people want to be given more power over development and self-determination, to pursue equity and ownership, with their own rights and title.

The Liberals must repeal the Shipping Ban for Indigenous prosperity and Canadian energy sovereignty.

The Liberals Must Define National Interest

October 20, 2025

Over four months ago, Conservatives worked to improve Bill C-5 and forced the Liberals to define “national interest” with clear, specific criteria. Since then, they’ve done nothing. In fact, in September, Dominic LeBlanc even admitted the Liberals would ignore the will of Parliament and refuse to define it at all.

Without a clear definition of “national interest,” every major project hangs on the political whims of cabinet, this is pure uncertainty with no accountability. When “national interest” is determined by broad concepts that the Liberal government decides on a case by case basis, the Liberals are able to pick and choose favourites, and make winners of a select few and losers of the rest.

This is blatant political interference. It’s deeply concerning that the Liberals would so easily dismiss the work of a Parliamentary Committee just to push their own “Liberals-know-best” agenda. All Canadians should be concerned that the Liberals continue to keep major project decisions behind closed doors without transparency or accountability.

Liberal Red Tape Kills Investment

October 20, 2025

"We used to be attractive"

When asked if Canada's regulatory environment for energy and mining has deteriorated, critical minerals expert resoundingly answers "YES."

According to him, when "you're faced with 15 years of regulatory review ... people just turn away. We're not attractive."

Experts are clear: Liberal bureaucratic anti-development red tape has driven investment and opportunity out of Canada and killed Canada's competitiveness.
