All Canadians can come together in support of natural resource sector
Canadians have been blessed with ample natural resources.
Resources like the oil sands, mines and the forestry sector contribute tens of thousands of good jobs and help pay for the essential government services that Canadians depend on.
That’s why it’s with increasing frustration that Canadians watch these important projects disappear because of red tape and obstructionism.
We need a regulatory system, that ensures essential environmental reviews and consultations take place, but doesn’t drive away investment or make building things here in Canada impossible.
Please watch the video below where my colleague MP Pierre Poilievre talks with Dale Swampy, president of the National Coalition of Chiefs (NCC) about how these important projects can help end poverty in First Nation communities and help further the important goal of reconciliation.
We need a three-digit national suicide prevention hotline
Suicide takes the lives of hundreds of Canadians every year. This is a huge problem and we need to act.
Creating a national suicide prevention hotline is a common sense solution to this serious problem.
It’s something we Conservatives have been calling for and it needs to be a national priority.
This may be the very last Victoria Day long weekend
By CANDICE MALCOLM
True North News
I hope readers of this column enjoy the upcoming Victoria Day long weekend. After 15 gruelling months of complying with ever-changing public health orders, half-baked shelter-in-place guidelines and a failed COVID-19 strategy from our clueless politicians, Lord knows we all need the holiday.
Aside from all that, this may be the very last Victoria Day long weekend.
If the Woke left has its way, it will continue on its destructive trajectory of erasing our history, tearing down our institutions and cancelling anything or anyone that doesn’t meet its evolving dictates.
Surely, Queen Victoria will not stand the test of time — according to the totalitarian standards of our progressive betters, that is.

If you have not yet had the chance to sign this important petition please do so. I’ll be writing to the prime minister and the minister of Canadian heritage in the next e-newsletter demanding they shutter this bill on your behalf.

— “Not only (are) tougher (ethics) laws (needed), but much stronger penalties too if convicted. Right now a $500 fine is laughable. Not a deterrent at all!” — Lyle O.

Last week’s straw poll results
In my last e-newsletter, I asked if people think Canada needs stronger ethic laws in the aftermath of the Liberals’ WE Charity scandal.
The results were unanimous, everyone supported the need for stronger ethic laws.
A big thanks to everyone who took part.
Have your say
In light of the Liberals covering-up high profile sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces do you think the Liberal Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan should resign?
I’ll post the results in next week’s e-newsletter.
