Interprovincial Pipelines are Federal Jurisdiction

Every Canadian observing the pipeline chatter going on right now should know this truth: pipelines that cross provincial borders, and pipelines for export, are indisputably FEDERAL jurisdiction in Canada.
This isn't a theoretical question, a philosophical debate, or an ideological perspective. It's not even a concept evolving judicially either. It's settled fact in Canada. Period.

One Premier is right, with a pipeline proposal that will benefit all of Canada. One Premier is politicking, with divisive, non-sensical rhetoric that denies his own people jobs and spin off opportunities, plus lots of money for their government.

It really makes you think because after all, he seems to be okay with turning a blind eye to open pit coal mining and coal exports in his own province (which the other doesn't criticize in support of resource development and jurisdictional respect) while he simultaneously blocks proven, safe, efficient transportation infrastructure of another source of fuel that has lower emissions intensity, is fully reclaimed when developed, with the vast majority extracted sub surface, and would benefit the whole country.

One might say that's not very neighbourly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Secondly, since the proposal is squarely in federal jurisdiction, the federal government absolutely has the power to ensure such infrastructure can get done. Don't let them tell you otherwise. The Liberals already proved it when they killed two others (Northern Gateway and Energy East) through veto and interference, and let the TMX private sector proponent get forced out because building was blocked by other levels of government and activists, precisely because this same federal government did NOT exercise all its tools and authority.

Canadas Food Insecurity Crisis

After a decade of the Liberals, Canadians can hardly afford the basics.

Canada's food insecurity crisis is the direct result of Carney's reckless inflationary spending and the Liberal's high taxes on food packaging, fuel, livestock feed and the fertilizer farmers need to grow their crops and feed the world.

The Liberal Buyback Will Cost Millions

The Liberal buyback boondoggle is expected to cost taxpayers about $742 million at a minimum!

Gun crime isn't caused by law-abiding hunters, farmers, sport shooters, collectors, or people with family heirlooms precisely because they are trained, vetted, law-abiding, and licensed. Only Conservatives support common sense firearms policies that protect the rights of law-abiding firearms owners, and keep illegal guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals.


Canada Needs Pipelines and Investment

Canada needs nation-building private sector pipelines to be built in all directions more than ever before, but Carney continues to fail to deliver.

Governments shouldn't have to put together consortiums to beg another level of government to consider major necessary critical infrastructure. Canada should be a place where investors, entrepreneurs, and companies want to invest and build big projects to create powerful paycheques and government revenue for all Canadians.

Carneys Bait and Switch

Carney promised he was the man with the plan, and now US tariffs are twice as high than when he was elected.

Carney promised you a win, and Canadians have only gotten broken promises and photo ops, a typical bait and switch.

Pass the Jail Not Bail Act

Today, the Liberals have a chance to do the right thing by voting to immediately pass the Conservative Jail Not Bail Act that will reverse reckless Liberal catch-and-release laws and keep repeat violent offenders behind bars.

Every morning, Canadians wake up to new horror stories about broad daylight shootings, violent home invasions, assaults, and more. This cannot be Canada's new normal. Parliament will vote on the Conservative Jail Not Bail Act today.

Will the Liberals finally take action to fix their own mess and make Canada's streets safe?

Liberal Gun Buyback Boondoggle

Illegal gun crime is up 130% under the Liberals, and what's their response? They go after the guns of legal, trained, tested, and licensed Canadian firearms owners.

Gun crime isn't caused by law-abiding gun owners because they are trained, vetted, law-abiding, and licensed. The vast majority of skyrocketing crime in Canada is caused by a revolving door of repeat offenders, that the Liberal catch-and-release bail system created.

Only Conservatives support common sense firearms policies that protect the rights of law-abiding firearms owners, keep illegal guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals, and keep repeat violent offenders behind bars where they belong.

The Consequences of Liberal Soft-On-Crime Policies

What have the Liberals given Canada? Violent crime is up 55%, sexual assaults up 76%, and homicides up nearly 30%.

This is what happens when Liberal soft on crime ideology replaces common sense.

Conservatives are calling on Parliament to quickly pass the Jail Not Bail Act to strengthen public safety and rebalance Canada's justice system. I'll always vote to lock up dangerous criminals to keep Canada's families and communities safe. Do you think the Liberals will?

High Liberal Grocery Taxes

Millions of Canadians will use a food bank again this year and a basic healthy meal is more and more costly. But the Liberals still voted against a Conservative motion in Parliament to lower grocery prices for Canadians that would've scrapped high Liberal food taxes.

Instead, the Liberals are charging ahead with their high taxes. Conservatives will continue to fight to restore Canada's promise with stronger paycheques that buys affordable food for families across Canada.

All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church

I am deeply saddened to hear about the All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Bellis that burned down. Hundreds of Christian churches have been torched across Canada, and this is deeply alarming.

This tragedy is especially painful as so many Ukrainians have come to Lakeland to escape war, only to see their places of worship destroyed after a decade of rising crime in Canada. I hope authorities hold those responsible fully accountable for this terrible act.
