October 2025 News
Carney’s Failures | Oct 30, 2025
Mark Carney promised to “negotiate a win” with President Trump and secure a trade deal by July 21st — then again by August 1st. It’s now the end of October, and there’s still no deal in sight.
After multiple concessions and broken promises, Canada still has no agreement — only more tariffs, fewer jobs, and rising uncertainty.
Carney’s Conflicts| Oct 29, 2025
Parliament has passed a Conservative motion to investigate Prime Minister Mark Carney’s stock holdings and potential conflicts of interest tied to his corporate connections. Canadians deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders. This motion — supported by all opposition parties — is an important step toward restoring trust and ensuring ethical integrity in government.
Do you think Canadians have a right to know if their Prime Minister’s business interests influence government decisions?
Finance and Leasing Dinner | Oct 28, 2025
It was an enjoyable and informative dinner, last evening, with members of the Financing and Leasing Industry in Canada.
Hearing from the experts in the industry and gleaning from their knowledge and experience is vital as we hold the government accountable and prepare solutions to move Canada forward.
Record Food Bank Use | Oct 27, 2025
New reports from Food Banks Canada and the Daily Bread Food Bank show food bank visits have reached the highest levels in Canadian history — over 2.1 million per month, double since 2019. Nearly 1 in 5 users are employed, and one-third are children, reflecting the growing food insecurity crisis affecting families nationwide.
Conservatives are calling for action to make food more affordable by removing hidden taxes on groceries and restoring policies that help Canadians keep more of their paycheques.

More Liberal Failures | Oct 24, 2025
Canadians are working harder but falling further behind. Food prices have risen nearly 50% faster in Canada than in the U.S., rent is up almost 5%, and over two million people now rely on food banks every month. After ten years of inflationary spending, Canadians deserve an affordable budget that puts their needs first.
Conservatives are calling for practical steps — cutting taxes on food, work, and homebuilding, and keeping spending under control — so life can finally become affordable again.
Cost of Living | Oct 23, 2025
After ten years of rising costs, many Canadians are finding it harder to afford everyday life. Statistics show that deficits, taxes, and higher prices are putting pressure on families across the country.
Conservatives are calling for an Affordable Budget for an Affordable Canada. Canada’s Conservatives believe in results that put Canadians first — so every family can afford a home, fill their fridge, and build a better life.
Cost of Living Update | Oct 22, 2025
Across Canada, many families are struggling to keep up. Brandon’s Samaritan House Ministries reports a 25% increase in the number of meals provided compared to 2023 — part of a growing national trend of record food bank visits. Over two million Canadians now rely on food banks every month, and in the Greater Toronto Area alone, visits have nearly doubled since 2023.
Canada’s Conservatives are focused on practical solutions to restore affordability — by ending inflation-driving deficits and ensuring Canadians can once again afford a home, put food on the table, and live securely under our proud Canadian flag.
Conservative Demands | Oct 20, 2025
Canada’s Conservatives are calling on the Liberal government and Mark Carney to use the upcoming budget to make life more affordable.
After ten years of rising costs, inflation remains near 40-year highs and food prices have increased 48% faster than in the U.S.

Canadians deserve answers | Oct 17, 2025
Thousands of Stellantis auto workers recently received news that Jeep production will move from Brampton to the United States — despite billions in federal subsidies meant to keep those jobs here in Canada.
That’s why Pierre Poilievre has written to Prime Minister Carney, asking him to release the full details of the Stellantis contracts. Canadians have a right to know what job protections were included and how billions of taxpayer dollars were spent.

Canada’s youth are facing a jobs crisis — with over 460,000 young Canadians out of work and youth unemployment nearing 15%, the highest in more than 25 years outside the pandemic.
The Conservative Youth Jobs Plan offers real solutions to help young Canadians build their future: Unleash the Economy – Cut taxes, remove red tape, and restore opportunity, Fix Immigration – Align immigration with housing and job market needs, Fix Training – Prioritize support for students in high-demand fields, Build Homes Where the Jobs Are – Offer a 100% write-off for businesses building workforce housing.
Canadians deserve a break at the checkout | Oct 14, 2025
After a lost Liberal decade, families are being forced to choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table. Food prices have risen 48% faster in Canada than in the U.S., while food banks are seeing record lineups.
It’s time to end inflationary spending, stop taxing groceries, and restore the Canadian promise — where working hard means you can afford to feed your family.

Protecting Your Privacy | Oct 8, 2025
Conservatives stopped the Liberal government’s Bill C-2 — a bill that would have given them sweeping new powers to access Canadians’ personal information without a warrant.

Standing for our CBSA Officers | Oct 2, 2025
The Gordie Howe International Bridge will reshape Essex and our region — but where’s the consultation with the CBSA officers who protect our community, and our country, every day? Local voices matter.
