No kid should have to sleep on the floor. Sleep in Heavenly Peace #Kelowna brings volunteers together to build and deliver beds to local children who need them. Michelle Cooper and Shawn Kremer join me on Finding Solutions to share how it works:

Airlines and the Liberals are all trick and no treat when it comes to air passenger rights. Airlines are exploiting a loophole to deny compensation after moving working aircraft to other routes. I asked the government to close it. The response was that airlines are responsible for following the rules. Parliament gave the government the power to act in 2023. This loophole must be closed. It’s time to expressly ban the practice and enforce the rules.

More temporary foreign workers. Lower wages and lost jobs for Canadians. Mark Carney is only interested in profiting corporate powerbrokers at the expense of our working class.

🚨”The 30-kilometre stretch of rail line had been damaged in the 2023 wildfires, and CN Rail decided not to repair it.” “In May 2024, CN Rail began the process of discontinuing its service between Enterprise and Hay River. The 30-kilometre stretch of rail line had been damaged in the 2023 wildfires, and CN Rail decided not to repair it.” In Friday’s statement, McKay highlighted the history of the line and its part connecting the national rail network with the marine resupply system for remote N.W.T. communities.” “Losing that connection increases transportation costs, puts more pressure on our highways and leaves an already vulnerable northern supply chain with fewer options,” McKay said.” “As we work to advance critical minerals projects, grow our economy and attract new investment, we need to be strengthening our transportation network, not losing critical connections.”

Anyone who has used the big Canadian accounting firms know that junior, entry-level accountants cycle through regularly. Junior, entry-level accountants are generally in the process of preparing to write the CFE and the mandatory 30-month practical work experience term in order to obtain their CPA. It's mind-boggling that accounting firms are now hiring foreign accountants in a city such as Toronto when many recent Canadian accounting need those jobs to be able to fulfill the requirements for professional designation. This doesn't just rob young Canadian accounting grads of real job opportunities, it also makes it far harder for them to take and pass the qualifying exams they need to become CPAs. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Liberals love having strategies the same way old people like having fine China in a cabinet tucked away somewhere where it never actually gets used.

“Halloween- the one day politicians give away candy to voters at their own expense!”

People wonder if all the announcements, meetings and ribbon cuttings by the Carney Liberals amount to anything. Are they serious about getting major projects like Roberts Bank Terminal 2 done faster? There are questions about how much they actually bring to the table. We take a closer look. Cue the Dueling Banjos. 🪕

Carney: Signing Canada up as the EU’s first Associate Member and taking on more of their rules will enhance our sovereignty Nothing says “we run our own country” like deeper regulatory integration with a foreign bloc 🤦‍♂️ @MarkJCarney

This statement from this CBC column summarizes so much about Carney’s Liberal govt. They have no idea but continue to make it up as they go along... "It still remains unclear what that would look like and cost" cbc.ca/news/politics/europea…

I remain amazed at Mark Carney's ability to constantly convene extremely expensive meetings where nothing happens. He's truly a master at this.

The Seinfeld Summit: Distractions. Illusions. Meetings about nothing. When will he finally get real?

What does associate membership in the European Union actually mean for Canada? Would it mean adopting EU taxes? EU immigration policies? Other EU regulations and policies that will dictate Canadian legislation? How much taxpayer dollars will go to European causes? Mark Carney suggested that closer ties with the EU would increase Canadians' freedoms. But how exactly would that work? How does aligning ourselves with a distant political and economic union give Canadians more freedom? Building a strong independent Canada should mean strengthening our borders, protecting our national identity, defending our values and freedoms, and preserving our sovereignty. What does the EU know about the needs of Skeena—Bulkley Valley? What does EU know about the challenges facing our communities? Canadians deserve to know exactly what closer alignment with the EU would mean for our sovereignty and our ability to make decisions for ourselves.
