The turn of the year also marks the turn of a page for me, as my retirement as #CalgaryHeritage MP becomes official at midnight. I look forward to seeing who emerges as the new candidate for our riding and I thank you all for these incredible 5-plus years as your representative!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas as they settle in this evening to celebrate the season. I hope Christmas finds you well, with family and friends, and with bright hopes for the upcoming new year.
Today we pause as a grateful nation to reflect on the sacrifices of #Canada's #veterans, and the service of those men and women in uniform still who stand on guard for us.
We will remember them, now and always.
#remembranceday2022
It is #VeteransWeek, and our opportunity to publicly commemorate the sacrifices made by veterans that we honour and respect throughout the year.
Wear your poppy in the days leading up to our #RemembranceDay observances, on Friday, November 11th.
I will be resigning my seat in Parliament effective December 31, 2022 to return to private life.
Our country will be in good hands when @PierrePoilievre becomes our next Prime Minister!
See my statement below.

This Small Business Week, consider contacting a Liberal MP to advise their new taxes on Canada's most prolific job creators are hurting our economy during a cost-of-living crisis.
Liberals don't care about tax hikes, but they assume you don't care either when you don't speak up.
1/2: This is small biz week to highlight companies that employ 2/3 of Cdn workers. Unfortunately, this govt makes it hard.
On Jan 1, payroll taxes will rise. Co's match employees' CPP premiums & pay 1.4 times employees' EI premiums. This is tax on hiring.

More of the same, with the heavy financial burden of a spendthrift & reckless Liberal government continuing to be piled onto the backs of taxpayers?
Or a new Conservative government that will put the people and their prosperity first?
This is the clear choice facing Canadians.
The Liberal-NDP government's appetite for new revenues is voracious and tax hikes are coming to fuel more of its reckless spending away of Canada's prosperity.
The last thing Canadians need during a cost-of-living crisis is to send more of their hard-earned dollars to Ottawa.
It's your money, you should be in control of it.
Conservatives are the only ones that will cut taxes for Canadians and cap government spending to make life more affordable.
Say NO to planned #CostlyCoalition tax hikes: conservative.ca/cpc/stop-all…
Well worth the short time it takes to watch this video, for insights into officialdom's lack of accountability for its part in the cost-of-living crisis.
"The state-subsidized media is uncritically carrying the message of the state banker in defending the actions of the state."
It's the season for the #harvest, and the time of year when we give thanks for the bounty of the land that sustains us.
Whether you celebrated earlier in the weekend or will mark the occasion today, I wish you a very #HappyThanksgivingDay with family and friends!
Congratulations to our premier-designate Danielle Smith on her election as leader of Alberta's United Conservative Party.

This week, Conservatives voted against new tax hikes, but the #CostlyCoalition voted to increase taxes on your gas, heat, groceries & paycheques.

"If government responds to too many dollars chasing too little supply by putting even more dollars into everyone’s hands, the result is likely to be even more inflation."
This is the wrongheaded course Liberals have taken, racking costs higher for all.

We have much to be thankful for this coming holiday, but the cost-of-living crisis hurting so many Canadian households isn't one of them.
Unchecked Liberal gov't spending continues to fuel inflationary pressure that increases the cost of food and most other things for Canadians.
The Liberal-NDP government's priority is not relief for Canadian citizens enduring a cost-of-living crisis, but rather more revenues for its own coffers, to fuel its reckless and unrestrained spending that is exacerbating inflationary pressures.

The Liberals' policies have undermined Canada's #energy security and prosperity. A new #Conservative government will correct the course.

Good read from @RobertMerasty.
The Trudeau Liberals reckless plan to cap Canadian oil & gas is a cap on Indigenous opportunity for ownership, success & self-determination.
Respect the rights of First Nations who want to make more energy & create paycheques for their people!

Great news that #Alberta is standing up for firearms owners' property rights.
“The planned confiscations...are unwarranted and unacceptable infringements on the property rights and personal freedoms of Albertans.” - Chief firearms officer #TeriBryant.

After constant pressure from Conservatives & people across Canada, Trudeau Liberals finally back down on the disastrous ArriveCAN app, unscientific vaccine mandates & forced mask-wearing.
None of the science changes October 1 but because of you, Trudeau has to.
Let's keep it up.
