Given the deficit has dislocated from the borrowing needs of government, the fiscal anchor of deficit to gdp is no longer credible.
Instead, a measure tracking the stock of debt and associated expenses such as debt service costs to either revenue or gdp.
Both measures are deteriorating significantly.
Debt service costs will be 41% higher in a few years and will grow as a share of gdp from 1.8-2.2% (a 22% increase)
The government's preference for other numbers hide the true erosion of fiscal capacity and ability to manage a future crisis.

What if we could turn wasted heat from LNG and other industrial projects into electricity, while making better use of Canada's energy resources?

That's what my Conservative colleague MP Greg McLean's private member's bill, C-269, aims to encourage.

This bill deserves to be we can explore the potential benefits for both our environment and our energy sector.

If the Liberals want to make Canada an energy superpower, why wouldn't they support giving this proposal further consideration?

Worth the read.

Davis: “This is, in essence, a plan for a plan.”

Nadjibulla: “Notably, the strategy makes no mention of the National Security Council established under the previous government, leaving it unclear who will oversee implementation.”

The Royal Canadian Legion is honoured to present Mrs. Virginia Hicks, from the community of Frankford, Ontario, as this year’s National Silver Cross Mother. On November 11, she will place a wreath at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

“Her presence on behalf of all mothers is l,” says Sharon McKeown, Dominion President. “In sharing her daughter’s story, we are all reminded with deep gratitude, of the incredible sacrifice of those who give their lives in service to our country. We will remember her.”

Mrs. Hicks’ daughter, Sapper Mariebeth Short served with 2 Combat Engineering Regiment, based in Petawawa, Ontario. Born on January 23, 1980, in Comox, British Columbia, she grew up in a family with a history of military service – including that of her mother.

Mariebeth was killed on September 23, 2002, during a training exercise on the Matawa Plains in Petawawa. The exercise was a recap, a part of the overall intensive training the Sappers completed to learn everything possible about LAVs (light armoured vehicles). The vehicle she was traveling in that day rolled, and she did not survive.

We don't trust the Liberal government to defend Canadian producers.

UK beef imports into Canada are up 700%, while our beef and pork exports to the UK remain virtually zero.

Before negotiating new trade deals, the Liberals must fix the ones we already have.
