To those people who are thinking about taking out their frustration on the current government by voting for separation and the referendum, I say this: Canada is more than a government, it’s a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.

My message to Albertans is this: Don’t leave your fellow Canadians behind. Lock arms with them, lock arms with Canadians who want to restore the promise of Canada.

Our real goal should not be separation, it should be restoration. It should not be to tear down our country but to build it up.
Canada is more than a government. It is a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.
We don’t just take our ball and go home. We don’t walk away. We stand and fight for what we believe in, and we reflect upon all that we have.
It all means that we have more room to travel, more room to breathe, more room to trade, more room to grow than we would have if we were isolated and alone.
Federal Conservatives will work with all members of the National Assembly to lower cost of living, protect our jobs, keep our communities safe, reform our immigration system, and put Canada first.
We have a 200-year-old relationship. There's always going to be grievances on both sides of the border.
I don’t know why we would be sending Canadian tax dollars from people who can’t afford to pay their bills to a dictatorial, terrorist regime like that.
And that’s what we need to do — use our resources and energy to make us stronger, more affordable and more self-reliant here at home.
We could more than double our diesel production, flood our North American market with affordable energy to power trucks and trains.
In his recent conversation with President Trump, he said he told the president that he supported the approach on diesel in Russia.
“So, the question really goes to the Liberals: Did you do your job and protect the steelworkers when the foreign takeover happened?”
If they cannot give Canadians a straight answer on something this basic, why should anyone trust them to deliver on the rest of their promises?
Let’s get tariffs out of the way so workers and businesses on both sides of the border can get ahead.
For decades, free trade has helped our workers build things together, sell to each other and bring home bigger paycheques.
My message to Americans is simple: these tariffs drive up costs and put jobs at risk in both our countries.
We need to ensure that steel that is artificially cheap due to government subsidies no longer enters our country.
The only thing that we would accept is these workers getting their paycheques, making Canadian steel to build our country.
I want the government to speed up the decision timeline on projects to between six months and a year.
The ‘small-itics’ might be very interesting on Parliament Hill, but what we need to do is focus on saving Canadians money and jobs, giving young people hope that they’ll be able to have homes and start families.
