This Changes Nothing – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre

From Conservative Party Communications

The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, released the following statement on Justin Trudeau resigning as the Liberal Leader:

“Canadians desperate to turn the page on this dark chapter in our history might be relieved today that Justin Trudeau is finally leaving.

“But what has really changed?

“Every Liberal MP in power today and every potential Liberal leadership contender fighting for the top job helped Justin Trudeau break the country over the last 9 years. All Liberal politicians actively worked to pass into law the job-killing, inflationary carbon tax—a tax that Carbon Tax Carney endorsed in his book. All supported a law quadrupling the tax over the next 5 years. All voted for or actively supported Trudeau’s out-of-control spending, debt and immigration. All passed Trudeau’s housing policies that doubled the cost of homes. All Liberal politicians helped pass catch-and-release bail and house arrest for the most rampant reoffenders, policies that increased violent crime 50%, gun crime 116% and hate crime by 250%.

“So, given that Liberal MPs and leadership contenders unanimously supported everything Trudeau has done, why dump him now, right before an election?

“Have they had a change of heart?

“Is it because they feel guilty that they doubled housing costs, hiked taxes, unleashed crime, broke immigration, forced a quarter of the population into poverty? No. They continued supporting Trudeau when he did all those things.

“No. Their only objection is that he is no longer popular enough to win an election and keep them in power. They want to protect their pensions and paycheques by sweeping their hated leader under the rug months before an election to trick you, and then do it all over again.

“Now, while leaderless Liberals focus on saving their jobs and fighting each other for power—the country spirals out of control—an out-of-control housing emergency, an out-of-control migrant crisis, an out-of-control $62 billion deficit, not to mention tariff threats from the United States, oh, and another NDP-Liberal carbon tax hike kicks in this April 1st … everything is out of control… and now, the government is out-of-control.

“The Liberals know how wrong this all is, that’s exactly why they shut down Parliament and paralyze government, all to save their own skins.

“This cannot go on. We need a carbon tax election now, to choose between:

  • The NDP-Liberal costly coalition that taxes your food, punishes your work, doubles your housing costs and unleashes crime and drugs in your community.

OR

  • Common Sense Conservatives who will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.

“Canadians can take back control of their lives and their country. Take back control of our border, take back control of immigration, take back control of spending, deficits and inflation. Take back control of our streets by locking up criminals, banning drugs, treating addiction and stopping gun smugglers. We’ll cap spending, axe taxes, reward work, build homes, uphold family, stop crime, secure borders, rearm our forces, restore our freedom and put Canada First.

“All with one mission: to bring home Canada’s promise that every hardworking Canadian gets a powerful paycheque and pension that buys affordable food and homes on safe streets; where all are united for the country we know and love: Canada first, Canada last, Canada always.

“Let’s bring it home.”

A look inside the ‘floatel’ housing B.C.’s LNG workforce

Innovative housing solution minimizes community impact while supporting the massive labour force needed for the Woodfibre LNG project.

The Woodfibre LNG project — a national leader in Indigenous partnerships and a cornerstone of global energy security — relies on a large construction workforce that drives economic prosperity across the region. For many of these workers, “home” is a ship.

Refitted from a cruise liner into a dedicated accommodation vessel, or “floatel,” this innovative solution houses up to 600 workers near Squamish, B.C., while keeping pressure off local housing and minimizing the project’s community footprint.

These exclusive images, captured a year ago, offer a rare retrospective look inside the original floatel. MV Isabelle X. With a second accommodation ship, the MV Saga X, recently arrived, this photo essay gives a timely, ground-level view of life aboard: individual cabins, a full-service dining hall, recreation spaces and custom laundry facilities. It’s a glimpse into the offshore dormitory that anchors daily life for the crew bringing this vital energy project to completion.

The ship arrived in B.C. waters in January after a 40-day journey from Estonia, where it had sheltered Ukrainian refugees, but the District of Squamish council voted three to four against a one-year permit for its use last week.

Alberta will use provincial laws to stop Canadian gov’t from trying to confiscate legal firearms

By Anthony Murdoch

Premier Danielle Smith confirmed that her government will introduce a motion to protect lawful gun owners from improper seizures and prosecution.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith confirmed what she has promised for over a year now that her government will use its laws to stop Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney’s federal gun-grab of legally purchased firearms from taking effect in the province.

“I just announced that our government will introduce a motion under the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act next week,” she posted on X over the weekend.

“This motion will protect lawful gun owners from improper seizures and prosecution, and ensure Albertans can protect their homes, families, and property.”

Smith’s motion was officially revealed on Tuesday. It reads, “A new motion under the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act will, if passed by the legislature, instruct all provincial entities, including law-enforcement agencies such as municipal police services and the RCMP, to decline to enforce or implement the federal gun seizure program.”

“The motion also makes clear that Albertans have the right to use reasonable force to defend themselves, their families and their homes from intruders,” it notes.

Smith has many times before, as reported by LifeSiteNews, promised her province will refuse to participate in his planned gun buyback program that aims to seize the legally purchased guns of Canadian firearm owners.

Alberta’s “Sovereignty Act” allows it to ignore federal laws that the province views as being unconstitutional.

Smith’s United Conservative Party (UCP) recently held its AGM, at which a motion to support so-called “Castle Laws” was introduced and passed.

She was recently quoted as saying, “If you don’t want to get shot, don’t break into someone’s house.”

Violent crime against homeowners is on the rise in Canada. As reported by LifeSiteNews, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lashed out at Carney’s “catch and release” bail laws, saying they need to be rescinded while adding Canadians have a “right” to defend their homes. He made the comments after a 46-year-old father died defending his family home.

The Canadian government’s controversial gun grab Bill C-21, which bans many types of guns, including handguns, and mandates a buyback program became law on December 14, 2023, after senators voted 60- 24 in favor of the bill.

In May 2023, Bill C-21 passed in the House of Commons. After initially denying that the bill would impact hunters, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau eventually admitted that C-21 would indeed ban certain types of hunting rifles.

Trudeau’s gun grab was first announced after a deadly mass shooting in Nova Scotia in May 2020 in which he banned over 1,500 “military-style assault firearms” with a plan to begin buying them back from owners.

Late last year, the Trudeau government extended the amnesty deadline for legal gun owners until October 30, 2025. It should be noted that this is around the same time a federal election was to take place.

When it comes to gun-related deaths in Canada, as reported by LifeSiteNews, Statistics Canada data shows that most violent gun crimes in the country last year were not committed at the hands of legal gun owners but by those who obtained the weapons illegally.
