It should go without saying, Canadian jobs should go to Canadians first. But Mark Carney’s Liberals are letting corporate powerbrokers use the foreign workers program instead of hiring Canadians. Liberals broke our immigration system. Sign to fix it and put Canadian workers first: conservative.ca/cpc/fix-cana…
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.

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. ⬇️

WAIT! WUT? Why is Carney's Major Projects Office working with the Immigration Ministry? Are they going to import foreign labour to work on projects deemed in the national interest of Canadians?

Gross and Unparliamentary While trying to cover for his own government's decision to subsidize a company who fired Canadians to hire illegal workers, this Liberal disparaged the ability of Alberta MPs to ask questions about fisheries.  We are one country, we pay federal taxes, and we defend the rights of workers in every region. As Conservative Shadow Minister for Jobs, I will continue to fight for workers everywhere. MP Ernie Klassen should apologize.

The Libetal grift continues. But is even worse than this. When Liberals have $240m of your money to Cohere for sovereign compute, Cohere subcontract all that build and management of the facility to a US company-Coreweve making all Canadian data at that centre subject to US law. So not sovereign. And markets are bettering Coreweve will go under as its credit default swap prices continue to rise above their share price. cnbc.com/amp/2026/10/15/core…
There's another layer to Carney's 1.6 billion Cohere announcement he left out...

$24B → $59B → $83B That's the cost of servicing Ottawa's debt. Interest doesn't build anything. It simply pays for spending that has already happened. #cdnpoli #deficits – at Ottawa, Ontario

Ursula von der Leyen leads the EU bureaucracy. They killed venture tech across Europe with red tape. Now she’s announcing Canada can access 12 EU supercomputers. That’s fine - but Canada does more trade with with a single US state - Texas - than all 26 EU nations combined - with more tech assets than all of Europe. The EU visit is nice. But they’re an economic basket case. It’s time to get a deal done with the USA.

Did Mark Carney just told the truth?? "Mortgage affordability down every month in this government." And with Bank of Canada's interest rate increase, mortgage affordability in Canada will continue to decrease.

“Provincial and federal governments have other tools to lower prices at the pump, as up to 40 per cent of the cost of a litre of gas comes from taxes.” “But there is another lever to pull: the clean fuel regulations.” “In July, the Nova Scotia regulator assessed the CFR compliance costs at 13.57 cents a litre for diesel and 12.24 cents a litre for gasoline.” “To add insult to injury, HST is charged on top of these costs. The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimated in 2023 that the cost of the CFR would rise to 17 cents per litre of gasoline and 16 cents per litre of diesel by 2030, and lower Canada’s GDP by 0.3 per cent.” “It is a favourite line of the Carney government that, amidst geopolitical rupture and trade disruption, “Canada is focused on what we can control.” The CFR is at the top of the list of self-harming, expensive and distortive policies that Canada controls, and has every interest in rolling back.”

🔥 When Mark Carney wants something (EU associate membership, the gun grab), he just does it, without Parliament’s approval. When Carney doesn’t want to do something, or it’s taking Liberals forever to get something done (clean water on First Nations, Arctic equipment), suddenly they “need another law” or it’s someone else's fault. 🤷‍♂️ Do we really need another bureaucracy to buy military equipment that defends our Arctic sovereignty and security? Watch @BlakeRichardsMP answer 👇

Sex offenders, men who beat up women, and other serious violent criminals getting reduced sentences because of race. This is wrong. There is no excuse. PERIOD. Everyone should follow the same laws & do the same time for the same crime, regardless of race.

Friendly reminder that this is what Canada's big immigration lobby pushes for. And Mark Carney caters to their every whim. It's not fair to Canadian workers or the immigrant who want to come to Canada to build a better life. Order and fairness must be restored.
> be Canada's restaurant lobby > operate during a youth unemployment crisis > operate during a housing crisis > operate during a healthcare availability crisis > operate as wages are being depressed > operate as Canada's immigration consensus is crumbling > write a lobby package

China. Qatar. Turkey. You're forging a partnership with the world's worst abusers of human rights.
New markets. Stronger defence. Greater energy security. We’re forging a new Canada–Türkiye Strategic Partnership.
