Newsletter – September 30th
After just two weeks of work on Parliament Hill, the Conservative team, headed by our new leader Pierre Poilievre, is already achieving results for Canadians and Thornhillers.
We’ve convinced Justin Trudeau to come up with a new plan to finally help Canadians who are hurting from inflation.
We got the ArriveCAN App scrapped and ended the vindictive, unscientific vaccine mandates at our borders, to finally reunite loved ones who have been separated for two years.
And, we’re bringing our message of small government and freedom to new communities across the nation.
We’ve got a lot more work to do to stand up to this big, bossy government and I can’t wait to share our next successes with you very soon.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – a time to recognize the enduring injustices that Indigenous Peoples face and an opportunity to recommit to the goals of truth and reconciliation here in Canada.
If you can – please consider wearing an orange shirt to show your solidarity with the cause.
Shana Tova!
To those who celebrated Rosh Hashana alongside me – wishing you and your family a healthy, peaceful, prosperous, and sweet new year. All the best in 5783!
My Community Safety Town Hall
I have heard from many Thornhillers concerned about increasing crime and targeted incidents in our community. We all want a safer Thornhill. RSVP on the link below to join me and Laura Smith on Oct. 12 at our first-ever community safety town hall.
#FreeIran
The horrific events in Iran and the death of Mahsa Amini require action from the government, not just words.
Time to see the IRGC listed as a terrorist organization, tougher sanctions, and justice for the victims and families of Flight PS752.
ArriveCAN = Gone
After months of Conservative pressure, the ArriveCAN App is finally gone.
Thanks to everyone who made phone calls, wrote letters, and made their voices heard – we never could have done it without you.
Now – time to apologize to Canadians and forgive all ArriveCAN fines.
Working for you in Thornhill
The Run for Vaughan has always been a great success in our community – and this year was no different.
Many thanks to the organizers, the volunteers, and everyone who ran to support a great cause.
Congratulations to everyone at Ferro Hair Art on completing 20 years in the business. Sincere thanks to Angela and Andrea for inviting me on their very special day!
I joined the amazing volunteers, organizers, and participants at the Thornhill Terry Fox Run to help raise money and awareness for cancer research. Many thanks to Stephanie and Ana for their leadership!
In the House of Commons
Carbon tax – up. Emissions – up. Price of everything – up. It’s time for Liberals to cancel their tax hikes.
Canadians are struggling – the Liberal government’s response?
A January 1st EI tax hike.
We’re calling on the government to cancel this tax hike, and all tax hikes, today.
The Canadian people are hurting – and it’s our job to turn that hurt into hope.
I rose in the House to speak to our Conservative motion calling for no new taxes on struggling Canadians.
On the Air
The cost of the Liberal government is driving up the cost of living. The more Prime Minister Trudeau spends, the more things will cost.
Stop the Liberal hike on paycheck taxes.
My take on the end of ArriveCAN and vaccine mandates at the border:
Wednesday at the Foreign Affairs Committee the Liberals quickly adjourned debate on our amendment calling to list the IRGC as terrorists.
The minister avoided the question yesterday.
And the Liberals are saying nothing at all here. Why won’t they tell Canadians why they think the IRGC should not be listed as terrorists?
