My point exactly. C-5 will give Liberal ministers the power to handpick whatever projects they choose. Politicians will decide who gets to skip the queue and who gets stuck in years of red tape. That’s not certainty.

We are increasingly hearing from concerned constituents about the safety of their Canadian loved ones in the Middle East. The Carney government needs to clearly communicate its contingency plans, so that if an evacuation is required those Canadians who want to leave know what

Justice officials confirmed today that warrantless information demand in Bill C-2 applies to any provider of a service. Not just about telecom companies but covers hotels, hospitals, financial institutions, etc. Unconstitutional lawful access on steroids. x.com/mgeist/status/…

This speech by XavierBarsalouDuval is worth listening to on C-5. Notes that Liberals denied extra committee hearing hours, witnesses already booked were told not to come, says that no Liberal on the committee voted for any amendments to this bill, etc.

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.     While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the

Sad news. While I often crossed swords with John McCallum, I had respect for his service to Canada. John stepped up to help Afghan interpreters when their plight was being ignored and he made a real impact. Here is one story. 1/4
