How will the credit agencies view the new Prime Minister missing his fiscal targets at the first opportunity?

The Liberal government says it wants to buy Canadian and support veterans. Its words don’t match its actions.
A $12M CRA contract went to a U.S.-owned firm, not a Canadian non-profit employing veterans. Bids were less than 1% apart.
The government needs to fix its priorities.

This past Saturday, British Columbians chose change! They elected a government committed to cutting red tape and increasing affordability.
Congratulations to Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson and all the Conservative candidates.
The blue wave is strong, our movement is growing, and we are just getting started! 🇨🇦

RESCON has endorsed my Bill C-287, the Housing Cost Transparency Act, calling for its passage and expedited implementation.
Canadians deserve to know how proposed building code changes will affect the cost of their homes before decisions are made.
Thank you to Richard Lyall and RESCON for backing greater transparency and accountability. Let’s make the system show its work.

A much wiser, MLA once told me that as an elected official you have two choices: respect the voters and get to work or get out. Because sooner or later, voters will always figure out what kind you were.
I am glad to hear @LDoerkson confirm he is the former, not the latter…
Lorne Doerkson on Wab Kinew’s comments that the BC results “should concern every elected politician” and that being elected is “a responsibility not to be played with”:
“Well, I don’t disagree. We should all be concerned. British Columbians voted for change last night and for whatever reason they liked the platform that we put forward. … I’ve always been somebody that the moment I’ve been elected I’ve got to work and for me that isn’t going to change. I intend to get to work right away. I intend to work for British Columbia hard because four years comes quick.” @WabKinew @LDoerkson

West Kelowna–Peachland, thank you.
It’s an incredible honour to be re-elected as your MLA. Thank you for trusting me to keep standing up for the place I call home.
To my campaign manager, Jane, volunteer coordinator, Nicole, and our volunteers and supporters, I couldn’t have done this without you.
Whether you voted for me or not, I am here to serve you. I will remain accessible, listen and work hard to earn your trust every day.
Let’s get to work.

#Cdnhistory fun fact. Tommy Douglas’ fav dessert was raisin pie. On his deathbed - as daughter Shirley told me - Tommy asked for raisin pie. “Is it good for him?” worried the family. Doctor: “Let him enjoy what’s left of life. Give him the pie.”

The Carney Government had better consult with the Premier Designate of BC. I am fearful of a potential deal being struck without buy in from the incoming BC government that doesn’t include Softwood lumber- a key industry in BC.
The PBO is right to flag that the Carney Liberals are not disciplined or transparent on their deficit spending.
We’ve seen what happens in 🇨🇦 when Government borrows & spends too much indiscriminately. Large debt payments puts pressure on programs & services
Are you concerned?
Great to see so many people wearing their poppies at #YLW today. Grateful for the assistance of local Cadets that are here selling them on behalf of the RCL’s poppy fund. #lestweforget

Sending a huge congratulations to our new Premier and his majority government. BC citizens spoke loudly on the need for change and it cannot arrive soon enough. Thank you to everyone who came out to vote.
