November 18, 2025
In a very short time, the Prime Minister has already cooked the books.
The PBO recently revealed that the Liberals overstated capital spending by $94 billion and failed to keep Canada on a declining debt path.
After 10 years of mismanagement, Canadians are paying the price as operating budgets won’t balance and debt-to-GDP keeps climbing. The PBO also warns that the government’s expansive spending definitions break with international standards and mask the true fiscal picture.
Our party has been abundantly clear: Canadians deserve accountability and a plan that restores affordability and hope
Philip Lawrence joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss the numbers, what issues lay ahead for Canadian checkbooks, and much more.

Costly Liberal budget
November 4, 2025
Today, the government will table their costly budget and Canadians have had enough of paying for their continuous failures.
Since the Prime Minister first took office, the government is spending more and more with the deficit now doubling while $47.6 billion of net investment has fled the country.
Worst of all, these economic failures have created a deepening youth unemployment crisis where over 460,000 young Canadians are out of work and has reached its lowest point in more than 25 years outside of the pandemic.
Shadow Minister for Finance, Jasraj Singh Hallan, joins me on the Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast to discuss these numbers, our plan to reverse over 10 years of bad economic decisions, and much more.

The Prime Minister continues to gaslight families.
December 4, 2024
It’s a sad reality that the Government simply refuses to accept Canada’s energy sector as the country’s single largest private sector investor in clean technologies.
Canada’s radical Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault, has announced that he plans to make life even less affordable by attacking Canadian energy workers; placing a so-called “emissions cap” that will kill Canadian jobs, raise the cost of energy, and send billions of dollars to dictators overseas.
Leaving them to continue their damaging policies will only suffocate Canada’s energy industry with their arbitrary emissions cap and will devastate our country’s broken economy beyond recognition.
Watch and listen as my guest, MP Pat Kelly, and I discuss what this means for Canada’s struggling energy sector, how the Prime Minister continues to gaslight everyday families, and much more.
