World class gaslighting here from the US ambassador: for the Trumpists to complain about CANADA violating the rules of trade is beyond belief. But it won’t take long for our home-grown Trump apologists to rev up their echo-chamber to endorse this view.

It appears some Departments are better than others at collecting money owed to the Gov’t of 🇨🇦. My question to the Department of Canadian Heritage on the enforcement of Canada’s National Do Not Call List, and their reply. They have, unlike the CRA, actually collected money.

Where is the money Canada recovered? ICIJ : Hundreds of millions more dollars recouped by governments after ICIJ investigations icij.org/investigations… #cdnpoli #PEI #SenCA

Reposting this great poem on the 83rd anniversary of Dieppe.

Engaging meeting with the PEI Potato Board, joined by fellow #PEI Senators Robinson (Senator Mary Robinson) and Francis (Senator Brian Francis). In 2024, 87,000 acres were cultivated, resulting in farm cash receipts of $380 million. The finest quality potatoes that also boast the best flavor.🥔

Great meeting with His Excellency Lassaad Boutara, Ambassador of Tunisia to Canada. 🇹🇳🇨🇦 #PEI #cdnpoli #SenCA

Globe and Mail editorial criticizing the toll reduction in Prince Edward Island missed key facts. My reply: Fairness, Not Favour nationalnewswatch.com/2025/08/29/fai… via National Newswatch #PEI #cdnpoli #SenCA

🚨Breaking news: CRA has been at the ‘rock bottom’ for many years... at least this government has recognized the problem and I remain optimistic that they will be able to address its ongoing issues. Canadians deserve better. ctvnews.ca/politics/artic… #cndpoli #PEI #SenCA

Perhaps threatening to invade and annex Danish territory went down badly in Copenhagen... ft.com/content/ffb4da…

I look forward to delving into Ron Graham's latest work, The Coutts Diaries: Power, Politics, and Pierre Trudeau, 1973-1981. #cndpoli #SenCA #PEI

Prime Minister Carney is quickly restoring Canada's international reputation. Impressive remarks and Q&A at the Council on Foreign Relations. #cndpoli #SenCA #PEI

Met with Lieutenant-General M.C. Wright, Commander of the Canadian Army, during the 2nd Annual Army Appreciation Day on Parliament Hill. Great discussion about opportunities & challenges in the army. As former member of the PEI Regiment, pleased with his support of the reserves.

Time to ban sports betting adverts. The gov't bans tobacco ads and we should do the same for gambling. You cannot legislate away human weaknesses, but you can limit the ability of others to profit from it. My questions to the Minister responsible for the CRTC urging action.

Is sports betting corrupting sports? NBA banned a player for his involvement with gambling and fans are wondering if missed calls are truly missed or are they something else? A single NHL game can generate millions in bets. What monitoring is the gov't doing to protect Canadians?

Low income seniors need more financial assistance while high income seniors need less. And younger generations can't afford to pay for increased Old Age Security costs by way of higher taxes. Is this fiscally sustainable? 📺My question to the Secretary of State for Seniors.

Why do high-income seniors continue to receive OAS payments while low-income seniors need more support and the Canada Child Benefit is reduced at a much lower household income than OAS. Is this fair to younger generations who face higher taxes to fund OAS for high-income seniors?

Should gov't review the criteria by which high-income seniors qualify for OAS payments in order to shift the financial support towards low-income seniors and reduce the burden on young Canadians who are paying more taxes to support this unfunded OAS program? #cdnpoli #SenCA #PEI

The OAS program is unfunded and unsustainable. As baby boomers age into retirement, costs for the program will balloon and younger Canadians will pay greater taxes to cover the growing expense. OAS must be adjusted (➖for high-income /➕for low-income seniors) before 💰 runs out.
