In the last few weeks, we have seen the Emergencies Act enacted for the first time, alarming and antagonistic rhetoric from the Prime Minister and the Liberal Government, and the silencing of Canadians who dared to voice their discontent with the Government and its decisions. Facing Trudeau’s authoritarian behaviour and the prospect of the prolonged use of the Emergencies Act, Canadians fought back with their voice.
Over the last couple of weeks, my office alone received more than ten thousand pieces of correspondence and phone calls regarding the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Many of my colleagues in Ottawa have echoed similar reactions in their constituencies. This resounding response from Canadians and rebuke from the Conservative Party led to Prime Minister Trudeau dropping the Emergencies Act less than ten days after declaring emergency measures were necessary, leaving him and the NDP scrambling to justify why these powers were needed for such a brief time. Within 60 days, the use of this measure will be scrutinized. Conservatives will work relentlessly to get to the bottom of this Trudeau-induced fiasco.
Justin Trudeau has abused parliamentary procedure, created division amongst Canadians, and torqued issues for his own gain and there is no time where it has been on greater display than in 2022. Name-calling, accusing opponents to his measures of being terrible things, and meandering out loud if Canadians “should even tolerate these people” (in reference to the unvaccinated); we are witnessing the desperate attempts by the Prime Minister to hold onto power as he loses control of the country he is supposed to lead.
The concept of good governance guides me in my work as your Member of Parliament, and you have reached out in record numbers affirming the need for this. These principles encourage respect and reason when tensions are high, and issues are contentious. They bring people to the table for discussion so we can hear each other out on all sides of the debate. Through COVID-19, our social interactions have been greatly limited and this has reduced the ability to have meaningful conversations about the things that affect us. While democracy is constantly evolving and we need a change in certain aspects, it can repair much of the damage and division caused by COVID and the actions of government. We just need good stewards of Parliament to voice the concerns of Canadians. I endeavour to be this for the people of Battle River—Crowfoot, but it has been highlighted how much this is needed across Canada.
The bottom line is this: Justin Trudeau used the Emergencies Act, an extraordinary measure that needed to be deliberated with great caution. Instead, he used it to clean up a political mess of his own creation even though it jeopardized the rights of Canadians and silenced his opponents. This is unacceptable and Canadians let him know it. Participation in the political process is important and this is a prime example. Your elected representatives must hear from you so they can be your voice. Canada’s Conservatives will continue to be the voice in Parliament that stands for your rights and interests, and against the corruption of the Trudeau Liberals.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about how I represent you, please do not hesitate to contact my office. It is an honour to be the Member of Parliament for Battle River—Crowfoot.
You should grab your flyers out of my mailbox buddy
What can we do? Before the NDP joined the liberal party we had a chance to get a non confident vote against babu justin. But with the coalition we cant do anything. I have been in contact with your office many times in the last couple months. Now I am sending emails , and starting to make phone calls when I can to ever member of parliament . All that I am getting back is electronic messages but no responses. The NDP offices that have answered my calls assure me that the do not have to vote with liberals if they don,t agree and also they do not have to vote with Sighn. I am trying to find out if…
I agree with some of what you said, but let's face it, the emergencies act was revoked due to the intense pressure the banks put on him because of the 500 percent increase in bank withdrawls in 24 hours. Further Ontario has "lifted the vax pass mandate" but the discrimination continues. Places can still "choose" to ask for the pass, so people are still be monitored. I.e. the Toronto Zoo still demands it. The mandate should have be fully pulled and made illegal to request it by the federal government. Once the government sets something in place, it never leaves and Tam was already threatening about putting mandates back in place in September before any mandates were lifted even.…
