Being gay is not a choice and nobody should be running for office on a platform to roll back hard-won rights.
Emphasizing his "so-con" values, Décarie says "LGBTQ" is a "Liberal" term and that being gay is a "choice." #cdnpoli #ctvpp

I advocated for the F-35’s back in 2010 and was roundly criticized and mocked by the Liberals and journalists. Now they plan to buy the same aircraft we intended to buy but at an additional cost of billions to taxpayers torontosun.com/opinion/colum…

If the Finance Minister does not resign then he should be fired. Accepting such a $41,000 gift would be a firing offence in every organization in Canada… except for the Liberal Party.

New Fraser’s institute study states : if Canada doubled its LNG production & exported additional supply to Asia, it could reduce GHG emissions by 630 million tonnes globally per yr : equivalent of removing approx 137 million cars from the road. What on earth are we waiting for ?

As a Nova Scotian, I am outraged that Justin Trudeau is using our tragedy to punish law-abiding firearms owners across Canada.
As Prime Minister, I can guarantee to all Canadians that I will never take advantage of a tragedy like this to push a political agenda.

The government just confirmed they’re allowing illegal border crossings. Instead of turning people away, we’re letting them in and paying for their health care and quarantine. There are concerns about having enough equipment just for our own citizens. This needs to stop now.
During the news conference @BillBlair confirmed that the illegal border crossing at Roxham Road is and will remain open despite the government saying the borders are closed to all foreign nationals except Americans. And apparently anyone who can get there. #COVID19 #coronavirus

Say it isn’t so. Hearing that 2 NS Judges have ordered court staff, some of whom are Vets to remove poppies in the courtroom. What an outrage. A previous “ban” on CAF/Vets wearing uniforms in schools when mtg students was broadly repudiated. Bravo @TimHoustonNS who again spoke out & may legislate protection for PS’ right to wear the poppy.

Rather shallow apology and was made after he was caught. These potential breaches are serious and need to be investigated. The Ethics Commissioner & police have to do their work to see if violations occurred. Average Canadians don’t get to just say sorry when they break the law.
