Circle 5 Tour | Feb 24, 2025
A visit to Circle 5 included a tour of the plant and meeting with their team regarding the potential impact of tariffs and trade on the local mold industry and also the ripple effect through the manufacturing industry here, in Essex-Windsor, and across Canada.
These conversations are crucial to bring the best information and ideas to the table.
Thank you Brian Parent, Saylo Lam and the Circle 5 team for your leadership and input.
Canada First | Feb 24, 2025
Pierre Poilievre‘s new Canada First plan is taking back control of our North by doubling the Canadian Rangers, acquiring extra polar icebreakers, and building a permanent Arctic base. This bold move will secure our borders and protect our national resources against global threats.
Stand with us for a strong, sovereign Canada

Dainty Foods Tour | Feb 11, 2025
Dainty Foods – a fantastic company whose history in Canada dates back to 1882, with almost 60 years in Windsor!
From plain rice to microwavable flavoured rice packets to gluten free flour, Dainty Foods is truly keeping Canadians fed!
Today was great opportunity to see the production teams hard at work, to learn about the history of this company and their incredible growth and stability in the Canadian market. We had good discussion about the potential effects of trariffs on this industry.
Thank you James Maitland for your leadership and vision in bringing this Canadian company to the forefront. I appreciate the time you took to share your passion for keeping this industry and our country prosperous and strong.
Celebrating 100 Years Young | Feb 8, 2025
It was an absolute honour to celebrate a wonderful lady that is 100 years young!
Congratulations Elizabeth Durocher (Mémé)!
Your years have been well spent creating a beautiful heritage in your family and you are leaving the world a better place than you found it!
Touring Vistaprint | Feb 8, 2025
I am always amazed at the incredible industry we can find in Essex-Windsor!
Vistaprint has been a staple in our community since 2005. Providing local jobs and through e-commerce, a whole realm of goods for North American markets!
It was good discussion and great information to ensure our businesses and jobs are protected.
Fix the Trade Barriers | Feb 6, 2025
Trade barriers between Canadian provinces cost us more than trade barriers with other countries. In 2023, international trade accounted for 66% of GDP, while interprovincial trade made up only 36%—that makes no sense.
A Common Sense Conservative government will act within 30 days of being elected to bring Premiers together and remove as many exemptions as possible. It’s time to put Canada first and unlock our country’s full economic potential.
Recall Parliament | Feb 4, 2025
Canada is facing a crisis, but the Liberal Party has shut down our Parliament.
Parliament was set to return on Monday, January 27. But because of the Liberals’ self-serving actions, Parliament will not meet for another 7 weeks – well after President Trump’s March 4 deadline.
Conservatives have consistently called for Parliament’s immediate return, and continue to do so.
Conservatives stand ready to work and have proposed our Canada First Plan and our plan to secure the border.
