Slower phase-down, production first

The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

Excerpts repeat opposition to carbon tax and support for oil and gas production.

The Liberal government has done nothing for seniors but make life more expensive with things like the carbon tax.

Expand production and export

The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas

Excerpts support pipelines, LNG exports to Europe, and energy sector jobs.

Again, I mentioned that we can expand our pipeline capacity to ensure we are offsetting the European dependence on Russian gas. We have gas, if only we could get it to tidewater to get it to Europe.

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Excerpts criticize Ottawa intrusion and urge respect for provincial jurisdiction.

I urge the government to allow the province of Manitoba to do what it needs to do with health care, and get those transfers done.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

Excerpts repeat criticism of higher taxes, debt and deficits.

What I heard at the doorstep over the better part of the last two years was a desire for a representative who would fight for everyday hard-working Canadians in my community, an MP who would make clear to the Liberal government that higher taxes, mountains of debt and endless deficits do not create economic prosperity but in fact put our country's social programs and the future financial security of Canadians at risk. Residents also expressed concerns for their environment, and top of mind is the North End Water Pollution Control Centre, which is at the very centre of my riding and processes 70% of Winnipeg sewage.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts criticize China interference and call for accountability.

There were leaked documents from it. Someone blew the whistle and gave this to Robert Fife and Steven Chase. In those documents, they found that “China employed a sophisticated strategy to disrupt Canada's democracy in the 2021 federal election campaign as Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of [the] Liberals”.

Market supply and deregulation

The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls

Excerpts link high housing costs to deficits and call for fiscal restraint.

With eight years of inflationary Liberal deficits driving up interest rates, homes have become completely unaffordable in Canada. When will the Liberals end their reckless inflationary deficits so that Canadians can once again afford a place to live?

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts repeat calls for stricter bail laws and enforcement against crime.

The broken Liberal bail system is failing to keep Canadians safe. My Conservative colleagues and I hosted a ‘Jail not Bail’ town hall to hear from residents about their concerns.
