Members Of The Parliament Of Canada

"The Conservative Party tries to avoid important but controversial issues of concern to Conservatives and Canadians in general. It is afraid to articulate any coherent philosophy to support its positions."

"A lesson from this great novelist: The classical liberal tradition is what made us a free, peaceful and prosperous country. We should cherish it and proudly proclaim the moral high ground when defending this tradition against those who want to impose Big Government upon us."

"I think the party owes their membership an explanation. And furthermore, I think that the party owes Mr. Scheer an explanation … his potential credibility is damaged because of this. They should explain to him how this happened and how it will never happen again. He should be insisting upon a more thorough review of what happened."

"Our apologies to Jay Hill that he never received his ballot in the mail. Our records show we mailed him a ballot on April 21, and a replacement ballot after we heard from him, and we sincerely regret that it did not arrive"

"I am troubled by your decision to allow the leader of the People's Party of Canada in the debates. It is wrong that Mr. Bernier be given a platform to promote an ideology of hate that spreads prejudice and disinformation. Mr. Bernier has courted racists to run for his party. He frequently promotes damaging conspiracy theories on his social media pages. And he has been photographed with far-right hate groups with neo-Nazi ties."

"I've written a letter explaining how I do not believe he should be allowed, he's someone that's opposed science, that puts out very dangerous and divisive rhetoric, and is someone that is putting out messages that are discouraging the public health response to this pandemic. I think it would be the wrong thing to do - very much the wrong thing to do, to give him a platform to promote very divisive and hurtful, frankly, uh, messaging that is counter to science, counter to people's health, and that would be a wrong thing to do."

"If we want conservative principles to win the battle of ideas, we have to defend them openly, with passion and conviction."

"Psychopathe fasciste"

"Big business must employ Canadians 99% of the time. That's why we will drastically cut temporary foreign worker visas.The People's Party will never merge or form an alliance with the Fake Conservatives. The CPC are only interested in power, and the Cons and the Libs are the same on the major issue of our time, which is mass immigration.[https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaHousing2/comments/1f46ham/comment/lkk8bl7 A teenager was beheaded in a McDonald's in Calgary by an unhinged criminal who should have never been here. It's a not a right-wing or left-wing thing to screen people properly so that we can be sure only the right people are coming to Canada.housing supply is not the root cause of the crisis. The real cause is demand stemming from mass immigration, which we would end with a moratorium. The federal government is bringing in 100,000 people a month. Nobody can build enough houses for that level of growth. Actually, Statistics Canada says that we must build 700,000 houses a year just to keep up with flood of demand — that's impossible. So, "building more" is not and can never be the solution.[https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaHousing2/comments/1f46ham/comment/lkk4pkd/ What will take years is building more housing. The only real immediate solution to the rent crisis is a moratorium on immigration. The kinds of incentives you're suggesting would fall under municipal and provincial jurisdiction. I just want all of you to remember what it was like in 2020 when immigration was paused, rents were coming down, salaries were going up, and workers were able to negotiate better perks from their employers. Never forget what Sean Fraser did to you with the support of the Conservatives.Many fake colleges in Brampton and Surrey are connected to the Khalistani movement, and the student program has been used as a Trojan horse to bring many people from Punjab here. Just look how many colleges are in this single plaza. On August 31st, this plaza will be the starting point for a car parade in remembrance of a suicide bomber. What is going on with our country, and what kind of education are people getting at these "colleges"? Again, we don't hear anything about this from Poilievre. Both the Liberals and Conservatives say these people are the future of the country.[https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaHousing2/comments/1f46ham/comment/lkk1t3x First, we must deport ALL illegals (criminal trespassers). International students that overstay their visa become illegals just like that guy I spoke with in Charlottetown. We must have a robust screening and interview process for everyone who immigrates to Canada. Canada's male-to-female ratio has been severely negatively affected by Trudeau's mass immigration policy. Second, yes, that's what a real, functional, and pro-Canada immigration policy looks like. It must be to fulfill the needs of our economy first. Provinces can also do a much better job of training apprentices rather than relying on mass immigration.They want to import ethnic voting blocs and it is evident. They pander to a few instead of serving us all. They want to create an indentured servitude class that serves the asset-owning class, that is permanently distracted by surface issues, while ignoring the economic and cultural war that has been declared on them.[https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaHousing2/comments/1f46ham/comment/lkjy8eo"

"It took the Green Party twenty years and six elections to have 1.6% of the vote. We created a party and did that in one year."

"Every public declaration is tested with polls and focus groups. The result is a bunch of platitudes that don’t offend anybody, but also don’t mean anything and don’t motivate anyone."

"How is it possible that Ms. Galipeau know this already? I think I have the answer. Radio-Canada/CBC will produce the debates, so they’re talking to the Commission, and I presume everybody there already knows that I won’t be invited. And she spilled the beans live on TV, probably unintentionally. Under the 2021 rules, I would automatically have been invited, because the PPC received almost 5% of the vote in the last election. But it’s obvious that the Commission changed the rules only to exclude us."

"You know, some people like to call me Mad Max like in the movie. They may believe it’s an insult. But let me tell you something: It’s true. I am mad! I’m mad about government waste! I’m mad about government borrowing money on the backs of future generations, to benefit big corporations! I’M MAD THAT THE LIBERALS ARE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY’S FINANCES, AND OUR NATION’S FUTURE, INTO THE GROUND! I’M MAD THAT THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT SHRINKS OUR PAYCHECK WITH HIGHT TAXES AND TAKES AWAY OUR FREEDOM. I’m mad about the federal government constantly meddling in provincial jurisdictions! I’m mad at politicians who promise anything to get elected! So yes, you can call me Mad Max. I don’t mind! I’m asking you to get mad like me and take your future into your hands."

"if the party was made aware of a sexual assault allegation today, the individual involved would be immediately removed as a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada"

"Canada's Conservatives have been, and always will be, a strong voice for Israel and the Canadian Jewish community, Israel is one of Canada's strongest allies and a beacon of pluralism and democratic principles in a turbulent part of the world, Canada’s Conservatives recognize the obvious fact that Israel, like every other sovereign nation, has a right to determine where its capital is located."

"Jewish people in Canada, Israel and around the world will begin celebrating Purim. I would like to extend my best wishes to the community as you celebrate with some of the happiest traditions of the holiday. Chag Purim Sameach! Happy Purim! Chag Sameach! This evening, Jewish people in Canada, Israel and around the world will begin celebrating Purim. This delightful holiday tells the story of Queen Esther and her uncle Mordechai, who saved the Jewish community of ancient Persia from their persecutor, Haman. Purim celebrates their heroism and bravery, which led to the survival and victory of the Jewish people. For all Canadians, the story of Purim is a reminder of the freedoms we enjoy and our duty to stand against religious intolerance. I would like to extend my best wishes to Canada’s Jewish community as you celebrate with some of the happiest traditions of the holiday: the reading of the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther); the exchange of special gift baskets with family and friends (Mishloach Manot); and, of course, eating delicious Hamentashen pastries. Have a fun and festive celebration! Happy Purim! Freilichen Purim!"

"I certainly don’t owe my leadership victory to anybody … It’s a high quality drink, and it’s affordable too."

"I have a popcorn problem. I can't stop. I've been known to drive by the movie theater, walk in, just buy a bag of popcorn. It's so good."

"Tonight marks the beginning of Chanukah, the eight-day Festival of Lights. It tells the story of the Jewish people’s resilience and their victory over tyranny and religious intolerance. On behalf of Canada’s Conservatives, I would like to wish everyone a Chag Chanukah Sameach!"

"I think the party owes their membership an explanation. And furthermore, I think that the party owes Mr. Scheer an explanation … his potential credibility is damaged because of this. They should explain to him how this happened and how it will never happen again. He should be insisting upon a more thorough review of what happened."

"I think we already know they’re looking to get rid of Fridays. Now we see they don’t even take Monday mornings very seriously either."

"“Strategically, as leader of the Green Party and the first elected Green in Parliament, I didn’t want to be in a renovated bank building,” she says. “I wanted to be on Parliament Hill, in a building that screams out at you, this is Parliament!”"

"Heckling “tunes people out of their democracy,” she says"

"Expensive firefighting equipment is rushed to the scene immediately on the sound of an alarm no matter what is on fire. Elaborate freeways in our metropolitan areas, costing many millions of dollars, are available to any motor vehicle. Microwave systems bring to ones television a program or view of an event taking place thousands of miles away. For the same few cents one can send a letter a short distance or across the continent."

"“When women raise their voices to be heard over the noise, they sound hysterical,” she says. “It’s a sexist world. If you lose control over your lower register, you’re going to be seen as a nut.”"

"“I was raised to be extremely productive,” May recalls. “That was how my mom would put it; she’d say, ‘I had a very productive day.’ ”"

"All told it is a new world. It calls for new ideas. In Canada it calls for a New Party."

"Education is still starved. It is the cornerstone of any civilized society and the sharpest sword in the defence of freedom, but it is still the step child of governments and corporations alike."

"“I’d rather have no Green seats and Stephen Harper lose, than a full caucus that stares across the floor at Stephen Harper as prime minister, because his policies are too dangerous,” she told the Toronto Star."

"“Without sounding arrogant,” she says, “I’m good on my feet.”"

"Yet another means by which to distribute more equally the wealth our people create is by an all-out program in the building of homes. Where did we ever get the idea that it is all right for some Canadian children to grow up in slums and others in mansions? If we can find the money - in other words, the raw materials and the men to do the work - to build skyscrapers and luxurious bank buildings in our large cities, if we can afford to maintain an elaborate defence establishment, if we can cope with the social costs that flow from life on the "other side of the tracks," we can well afford the expenditure of public money in programs designed to eliminate every last slum dwelling there is in this country, in programs designed to redevelop our communities, both urban and rural, toward the day when all our people will live in good homes."

"The fearsome fact of our time is that other elements than the government have assumed the role of directing our affairs. To a very large extent the way we live and the things we live for are determined by the interests of powerful and monopolistic corporations"

"The kinds of homes or communities people live in, the resources available for health, education, and security in old age - all these things are subject to the decisions of rulers we do not elect."

"What shall it profit us to live in an affluent society if the things we produce and the ways in which we distribute them fail to contribute to the achievement of human dignity and social values?"

"One of the facts of history is that battles do not stay won. Those that matter have to be waged again and again."

"Plan-less profit-seeking as practiced by the West cannot match the planned export policies of the East."

"“C-10 is such a nightmare, because we’re going to have a ton of amendments,” she says. “And I can’t present them unless I’m physically there.”"

"Ideas change the world, but they do it by assuming shape, they do it by taking concrete form."

"Little wonder that the dumbing down of the political discourse, the attack ads and war rooms reign triumphant. The fifth estate is an enabler in this addiction to political trivia in place of reasoned debate."

"We Canadians think that Canada is a modern, well informed democracy. We look down our noses at the dumbed down content on Fox News and CNN, without noticing that we are rapidly heading in the same direction."

"Of all the deteriorating aspects of Canadian democracy, the lack of concern over the ability of the national police force to interfere in elections is the one that most suggests Third World politics."

"The role of the individual MP has been sidelined by the power of the Cabinet, and now by the PM alone."

"The increasing prominence of a presidential-style prime minister is steadily denigrating the traditions and institutions of Canadian democracy."

"Three of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence. It's just that any system of government has it pluses and minuses and it's important to understand the system of government you do live under so that you can protect it."

"I participate, therefore I am."

"Countries with high voting rates also have high levels of political knowledge."

"“I’m one of the few MPs who never has a prepared text for everything I do, because I don’t have a bunch of people telling me what I have to say,”"

"“Don’t give up,” she implored. “Get up and fight.”"

"“Kyoto is not dead,” May says. “We’ve got a year to convince the prime minister to change his position.”"

"Workers do not try to prevent employers from making contributions to political parties the workers do not support."
