If the media won’t hold the Liberals to account for breaking Canada’s immigration system, I will.

I joined Kevin Klein to discuss the terrible story from Hamilton where two air cadets and their supervisor was assaulted, and why it matters beyond the case itself. Not to mention a Manitoba MLA’s now infamous comments on crime.

“Hope is not a strategy.”
The Carney government's Budget 2026 is not serious about tackling Canada’s deficit or the productivity crisis
Despite a major revenue windfall driven by soaring global oil prices and inflation, the government is choosing to spend it all rather than address the massive deficit that leads to inflation.
Every household would have to pay over $3,500 more in income tax just to balance this budget. If it is not paid today, it will be due tomorrow with interest.

Carney’s costly credit card budget adds a record-smashing $765 billion in new debt over five years. That’s $44,000 for every Canadian household.
Instead of cutting taxes on fuel, food and housing, the Liberals are adding more than $151 billion in spending, piling on debt and leaving Canadians to pay the bill through higher costs and future taxes.
Conservatives are clear: Cut wasteful Liberal spending, lower costs for Canadians and stop burying future generations in debt. We will vote NO to this costly budget.

Last week, we uncovered that dozens of employees at the Major Projects Office are having parts of their salary paid by private companies.
None of the details have been made public.
None of the potential conflicts of interest have been cleared by any third party.
If there is nothing to hide, why are they refusing to release the list?

Our veterans deserve better.
The Liberal government chose an American company over the Commissionaires for CRA security, freezing out Canadian veterans. Carney had the chance to fix it and and voted no.
The Commissionaires are Canadian and employ veterans. It shouldn’t be complicated.

Prime Minister Carney told Canadians that affordability is the best it’s been in a decade.
Oshawa, does that sound like your reality?

🚨 FACT CHECK: FALSE!
Mark Carney's housing minister lied to Canadians... and even CBC is calling him out!
These Liberals are building only 10% of the houses they claim.
ALL TALK. NO RESULTS!

Kate Harrison, responding to JP Tasker, turns the focus back home:
“The government has looked to blame our economic situation heavily on the tariff impacts… Just before the comment on the weekend from the prime minister, he had told Politico we were prepared to wait another two and a half years to deal with the tariff dispute. So how can this both be the greatest economic crisis since the Second World War, but also something that Canada is prepared to withstand for another two and a half years?”
Economic reality, Harrison says, is colliding with political reality for Carney @KatlynHarrison

60 hospitals.
120,000 affordable housing units.
$6,000 in tax relief for every Canadian family.
That’s what $58.7 billion could buy, but instead the Liberals are spending that on debt interest — money that buys Canadians nothing.
Why are the only ones getting ahead in Canada right now Mark Carney’s banker buddies?

B.C. voted for change. Lorne Doerkson has committed to a new Massey Bridge.
Conservatives want the Carney Liberals to commit their promised funding of up to $3 billion to the bridge.

KPMG is trying to hire 15 foreign accountants in downtown Toronto at $80,000+ each.
In four days, Mark Carney will let corporations hire high wage occupations from abroad without even trying to hire a Canadian first.
Toronto’s unemployment rate is sitting at 7% with youth unemployment at 17%. KPMG should be hiring and training Canadians, not getting a free pass to bypass local workers.
Joyce Bateman retweeted
This is shameful.
Anyone looking for an accountant job in Toronto?
@KPMG_Canada in Toronto is claiming they cannot not find Canadian workers to fill 15 accounting jobs.
Do you think there aren't 15 out of work Canadian accountants in Toronto? Mark Carney does. ⬇️

As many Canadians starve, Carney eats like a King 👑.
Last year around this time, Mark Carney said Canadians should be ready for some “challenges” and “sacrifices”. 2.35 Million of our people (up 9% in one year) are using food banks every month while he spends $175,000 in plane food on one trip that would feed a family of 4 for 10 years . #cdnpoli

Canada is facing three major challenges: a productivity crisis, an affordability crisis, and a birth rate that has fallen to historic lows.
That’s why Conservatives are proposing three practical reforms: flexible parental leave, learning on leave, and better support for parents providing child care.
There is a growing gap between the families Canadians want to have and the families they can afford.
Housing costs, child care expenses, career uncertainty, and financial pressures are making it harder for Canadians to build the families they want.
No single policy can solve all these challenges, but we can start by removing barriers and giving parents more flexibility, choice, and support.

Up to 200 staff at feds' Major Projects Office are on half pay from unnamed corporations without @EthicsCanada vetting: 'Is this out of the goodness of their heart?' asked MP @BrandenCPC.
