I’ve known Pierre a long time…..and this is who he is.
He understands what regular Canadians are facing because “his people” are normal people… him parents, his family, his friends are Canadian facing the stress and challenges most Canadians face.
He fights for normal Canadians because those are the people he knows, understands and loves.
This is absolutely unbelievable!
WATCH QP October 27, 2026: The government is not a family-run business. The Prime Minister created an official Government role for his wife as Canada's new "Ocean Envoy" and gave her more than $1.2 billion tax dollars to work with. Liberals shut down a motion to have her appear at Committee to explain her new role, her mandate, her priorities, and what the $1.2 Billion tax dollars will be used for. #cdnpoli

Things that make you go Hmm! Liberals shut down debate on a motion to have Diana Fox Carney, Mark Carney's wife appear before the Fisheries and Oceans Committee to discuss her appointment as Canada's new "Oceans Envoy" and the $1.2 Billion plus tax dollars she's been given to do it. #cdnpoli
This was the motion:
That, given the recent appointment of Canada’s Ocean Envoy and Chair of the 12th Our Ocean Conference, and the Government of Canada’s recently announced $1.2 billion investment in ocean protection, the committee invite Canada’s Ocean Envoy to appear for no fewer than two hours, at the earliest opportunity, but no later than Friday, November 27, 2026, to discuss the Envoy’s mandate, priorities, and plans to advance Canada’s ocean conservation and fisheries interests, including preparations for the 2027 Our Ocean Conference, the government’s financial commitments, and the anticipated costs associated with hosting the conference; and that the Ocean Envoy be requested to provide the committee with a copy of the formal mandate, any associated terms of reference, and a breakdown of the anticipated costs of hosting the conference prior to the appearance.

Canada has an opportunity to reach new markets, create jobs and reduce our dependence on the United States.
Strathcona Resources is proposing to export up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert, using existing rail lines and a new marine terminal. The project could reach overseas markets in under two years, without government subsidies, supporting Canadian energy, railway and port workers.
But C-48 remains in place.
On Wednesday, October 28th, Bill C-264 will be voted on in the House of Commons.
Conservatives are calling on the Liberals to support Bill C-264 to repeal the tanker ban so Canadian workers, businesses and communities can benefit from the opportunities Canada’s energy sector has to offer.

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

UNREAL: Liberal government-funded company RAIDED by the RCMP.
For years, Liberals poured taxpayer money into Lion Electric. François-Philippe Champagne called it a Canadian EV “flagship.”
He bragged that this Liberal government was with Lion Electric “every step of the way.”
So why did this Liberal government back them with over $500M in taxpayer money, and what did they know about the risks to Canadians, and when?

"That is exactly what I did not say."
After endorsing @WabKinew's call to reform or abolish the Indian Act, @MarkJCarney walks back on his statment when pressed by reporters.

A lot of terrible takes about what just happened in the BC provincial election.
Lorne Doerkson and his team ran an almost flawless campaign, articulated a compelling vision for the province, and did so WITHOUT abandoning key conservative priorities or principles, including DRIPA, SOGI and ending safe supply.
Those trying to use this victory to argue the federal Conservative Party needs to abandon its conservative principles in order to win an election are doing so either disingenuously or ignorantly.
Conservatism, thoughtfully communicated, is inherently and increasingly popular in all regions of Canada – and with many demographic groups.

This is a major vote of confidence in Pierre Poilievre.
Cedric Lapointe, the former right hand man of Eric Duhaime - who just won big for the Conservatives in the Quebec election - is moving on to work with Poilievre in Ottawa.

Carney’s view of standing up for Canada appears to be making speeches and taking international trips, not fixing our own domestic policies that hurt us.

Only one thing stands in the way: Mark Carney's tanker ban.
Let’s create more 🇨🇦 jobs, get better prices for our resources, and be less dependent on the U.S. by voting YES to Conservative MP @DMcKenzieCPC's bill on Wednesday to scrap the tanker ban and put Canada first.

This is yet another epic fail by Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, this time with the United Kingdom.
It comes as the same time as BOTH France and Germany don’t want Carney’s “Associate Membership” with the EU.
Which is especially embarrassing for Mr. Carney going into his EU Summit in Montreal.
After a ridiculous bid to build a Strategic Partnership with an obvious strategic rival in Türkiye.
All while Canadian workers are being laid off, uncertainty is killing our jobs, and costs rise in a stagnation economy.
Any of our friends in the mainstream press prepared to admit he’s not the negotiator they keep claiming he is?
“Britain has decided not to join a global defence bank spearheaded by Canada, as chancellor John Healey prepares to throw his weight behind a separate UK-led initiative to help fill a multibillion hole in the UK defence budget.
“Andy Burnham, UK prime minister, discussed Britain joining the Ottawa initiative with Mark Carney, his Canadian counterpart, last month after officials began exploring the proposal, as first reported by the FT.
“But on Sunday it was announced that the plan would not go ahead, a move which will be seen in some quarters as a snub to Carney and his attempt to forge closer ties among the world’s “middle powers”.”

Congratulations to @LDoerkson and the @Conservative_BC on a strong majority mandate to bring common sense Conservative principles to British Columbia.
I look forward to working together to save Canadians money and jobs, lock up criminals, reduce immigration, and put Canada first.
Wow!
The Liberals don’t like when the voices of regular Canadians are brought to parliament.
Conservatives will never quit fighting for millions of Canadians who are struggling under these Liberals.
Keep up the good work Carol!

Carney really doesn’t like being called out on his BS.
He knew what he was doing when he discussed plans to repel an American invasion with the New York Times.
Then a Canadian reporter asks him about that just after Carney spoke to Trump and he gets snippy again.
With a woman.
Carney in Turkey, snippy when a Canadian reporter brings up his own NYT comments:
Reporter: A month ago you told the NYT you were preparing for the possibility of a U.S. invasion. You just spoke with the President — did that come up?
Carney: The New York Times has the transcript. That is not what I said. Quote the transcript, don’t change things
Then he pivots to “we will never be the 51st state… we’re preparing… strong and getting stronger.”
Carney said the “extreme tail risk / irresponsible not to look at it” thing to the Times. He just doesn’t like when Canadian media is asking him about it @MarkJCarney @AbigailBimman

The safety, security and recovery of the heroes injured at CFB Wainwright are our top priority.
We are grateful to Alberta’s medical teams caring for them, and to the medical professionals who have come from Saskatchewan, Ontario and elsewhere to work alongside them.
I sincerely thank U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra for reaching out to me as Wainwright’s MP with an offer of medical assistance. We deeply appreciate this gesture of support for our injured soldiers and their families at such a difficult time.
We have informed the Minister of National Defence and the Government of Alberta of the offer so they can determine whether these additional resources and expertise are needed.
Our prayers remain with our heroes and their families.
Our prayers remain with all affected by the tragedy at @CanadianForces Base Wainwright. To support the recovery of soldiers affected by traumatic burns, the U.S. government has made a formal offer of assistance and resources to the Government of Canada, should it be deemed necessary.

Prime Minister, beyond the Iranian regime lies the strategic challenge of Erdoğan’s Türkiye.
From Beijing to Doha, and now Ankara, your “strategic partnerships” read like corporate-Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who turned to Castro and Mao, a search for some middle path between the West and the Kremlin.
It was a costly mistake then. It remains one now.
Lots of talk…no results.
