The Liberals Have Driven Out Investment

September 05, 2025

After 10 years of Liberal anti-development laws, Canadian energy companies now invest in American energy and create American jobs while Canadian workers and communities lose out.

It is inconceivable that Canada has world-class energy producers ready to build major projects, for the benefit of all Canadians, but this Liberal government says no. Instead of pipelines here in Canada, Canadian companies are driven down south and invest hundreds of millions of dollars and create jobs in the U.S.

Why does Mark Carney need an ethics screen to block him from over 100 companies?

Why does Mark Carney need an ethics screen to block him from over 100 companies?

Mark Carney has deep ties and major shares in Brookfield, which benefits from the Liberal ban on gas-powered vehicles and government heat pump programs.

And it gets worse: the Liberals' Bill C-5 nearly gave him a free pass from the Conflict of Interest Act and Criminal Code. But Conservatives stopped him!

Common Sense Conservatives will always stand with Canadian farmers

September 04, 2025

The Liberals banned one of the most effective tools that works, and now farmers, and you, pay the price.

The Liberals' ban on strychnine wasn’t science based and it ignores decades of safe use and threatens Canada’s food supply. Prairie farmers now have to watch as their crops, land, and livelihoods get destroyed, while Ottawa refuses to act.

There has always been a business case for LNG

September 02, 2025

News flash Hodgson: there has always been a business case for LNG! You Liberals should have listened to Germany, Poland, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine and more. While our allies begged for Canadian energy, the Liberals stalled, and now the U.S. and Mexico race ahead.

It’s not that Canada couldn’t lead. It’s that the Liberals chose to keep it in the ground and hold Canada back.

More mixed messages and uncertainty from the Liberals

September 01, 2025

No wonder nothing gets built in Canada anymore. The Liberals said TMX was “in the national interest” when they used Canadian tax dollars to buy it, instead of enabling the private sector proponent to build it. Now, TMX sits in the hands of a government-created corporation, and suddenly it doesn’t even count? More mixed messages and uncertainty from a Liberal government that has delivered no results.

Of course TMX should be optimized, but so should all of Canadian energy. Pipelines must run in every direction to increase exports and make Canadian energy self-sufficient, self-reliant, affordable, and secure.

Carney copies Poilievre AGAIN!

August 26, 2025

Conservatives have called for the expansion of the Port of Churchill since 2022 and now Carney takes another Conservative idea and claims it as his own. You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

But don’t be fooled. Conservatives have always called on the Liberal government to develop Canada’s natural resources to make Canada strong, self-reliant and secure. Instead, under the Liberals’ anti- energy, anti-development agenda, Canadians have lost opportunity after opportunity. While other countries raced ahead and built their energy future, the Liberals held Canada back. For a decade, as Canada’s allies asked for Canadian energy, the Liberals forced them to turn to hostile foreign regimes instead.

$63 billion of investment has poured out of Canada into the U.S

August 26, 2025

Under Mark Carney, $63 billion of investment has poured out of Canada into the U.S.

Those billions of dollars could have built Canadian energy and developed Canadian natural resources to make Canada strong, self-reliant, and successful.

Instead, that money will help American jobs and businesses. Maybe that’s why Trump wanted Carney to win.

Ukrainian Independence Day

Today is Ukrainian Independence Day, a day to remember the freedom, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people.

Canadian tax dollars must support Canadians, not create jobs for a foreign regime

August 21, 2025

The new canola tariffs will punish Canadian farmers, like all the farm families and agri-businesses all across Lakeland. Yet Carney and the Liberals push ahead with their plan to hand the communist regime in Beijing $1 billion in taxpayer money. This must end. Canadian tax dollars must support Canadians, not create jobs for a foreign regime.

It's been 159 days since Carney became PM, and still nothing has been done

August 20, 2025

The Liberals are “hopeful” they’ll release a major projects list this fall. But it has been 159 days since Carney became PM, and still nothing has been done. Just more empty words and lofty promises.

The Liberals vowed projects would get built in two years, yet Canadians have seen no list, no timelines, no projects, no commitments, no results, and no clarity. That two-year countdown started when Bill C-5 passed and Conservatives will hold them to it. These are the same Liberals who killed $670 billion in natural resource projects with their anti-energy policies.
