When our auto plants are strong, our communities are strong | Mar 17, 2026
Ontario’s auto sector supports tens of thousands of families, including many right here in Windsor-Essex.
The goal is simple: build more vehicles in Canada, protect Canadian workers, and strengthen our auto industry for the long term.
Meeting with WESEE | Mar 16, 2026
I met with members of WE SEE-Windsor Essex Storm and Environment Enthusiasts, a dedicated group of local volunteers who monitor severe weather across the county. They shared valuable insights about the challenges our region faces when it comes to storm detection, warning systems, and public safety. Windsor Essex experiences some of the most active severe weather in Canada, and ensuring residents receive timely and accurate warnings is critical. I appreciate the work this group is doing to keep our community informed and safe. I look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring ways we can strengthen weather monitoring and emergency alerting systems for Windsor–Essex.

SV Dance | Mar 13, 2026
It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the SV School of Dance, a LaSalle-based dance school that serves children, youth, and families across Windsor-Essex through cultural arts, mentorship, and performance opportunities.
SV School of Dance has been ranked as one of the top 25 dance schools in the world. They have been recently been chosen to represent Canada at the 2026 Diwali Dance Fest at Walt Disney World! Congratulations!!
With Pierre in Detroit | Mar 13, 2026
Good discussion in Detroit about strengthening the auto sector on both sides of the border. Windsor-Essex workers help build the vehicles that keep North America moving, and fair, tariff-free trade means stronger paycheques and more jobs for our community.
Latest labour numbers | Mar 13, 2026
– 100,000 full-time jobs lost in one month
– Nearly 50,000 youth jobs lost
– Youth unemployment now over 14%
– 1.5 million Canadians currently without work
These are the realities many Canadians are starting to feel across the country. Understanding the facts helps Canadians decide what direction our economy should take next.
Spirits delivery | Mar 11, 2026
Canadians should be able to buy Canadian products from anywhere in Canada. Yet today, many Canadians still face barriers when trying to order wine, beer, or spirits from another province. In some cases, it is easier to ship these products to another country than across our own provinces. That is not what a true Canadian economy should look like.
The Conservatives have introduced Bill C-262 to allow Canada Post to pick up and deliver Canadian beer, wine, and spirits directly to Canadians across the country. A stronger Canadian economy starts with Canadians being able to trade freely with each other.
Canada has the resources to help our allies | Mar 9, 2026
Canadian energy can create jobs at home while helping democratic countries reduce their dependence on unstable regimes like Russia and China. That is common sense. Conservatives support approving pipelines and LNG infrastructure to get Canadian energy to market, supplying reliable energy to democratic allies, creating strategic reserves of energy and critical minerals, strengthening NATO partnerships while rebuilding Canada’s military. Strong energy production means stronger paycheques, lower costs, and a Canada that negotiates from a position of strength.

International Women’s Day | Mar 8, 2026
Today we take a moment to recognize the incredible women who strengthen our families, our communities, and our country every single day. International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the dedication, resilience, compassion, and leadership that women bring to every part of life at home, in the workplace, and throughout our communities. Your impact is felt far beyond what words can express.
Canada’s sovereignty and security depend on strength, preparedness, and leadership | Mar 6, 2026
A strong military protects our sovereignty, secures our Arctic, and keeps Canadians safe. The question for Canadians is simple: Do we want a stronger, more prepared Canada moving forward?

An amazing support dog! | Mar 6, 2026
I love my 4-legged friends
Canada has everything we need to be strong and self-reliant | Mar 4, 2026
We have energy. We have minerals. We have skilled workers. What we don’t have is a system that moves projects forward. This is what a Conservative plan would do.
More supply. More jobs. More homes built faster.

Canada cannot negotiate from a position of weakness | Mar 3, 2026
In a more unstable global environment, we need realism. We need maturity. And we need a clear plan to restore our leverage. Pierre Poilievre has laid out a blueprint to strengthen Canada at home so we can stand strong abroad. That starts with abundant, low-cost energy. This is how.
Stronger productivity. Restored competitiveness. Real leverage.

Negative Growth | Mar 1, 2026
Statistics Canada reports that Canada’s GDP shrank by 0.2% in Q4 of 2025. We were the only G7 country with negative growth.
Since March 2025: 35,400 fewer Canadians are working; 32,800 manufacturing jobs lost; and EI recipients up 12.9% (+65,000). These are official numbers.
When the economy contracts, families feel it. Is this government on the right track?
