Every day in the House, government members get up and say that Canadians have never had it so good, while they keep up the immense spending agenda. Although the government

While the rural member from Milton likes to accuse anyone who disagrees with him of being a climate change denier, I don't think he would say that about the Liberal premier from Newfoundland and Labrador, and I hope he

We've seen devastating wildfires, extreme flooding and the heat domes that killed hundreds of people in British Columbia, mainly low-income

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act   insiders and to force more everyday Canadians into total reliance on government. This bill, Bill C-50, would do the exact same thing.
