Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan says the federal government’s growing debt levels are “something to worry about” ahead of Budget 2026.

Thanks to @MikeLakeMP for highlighting the need to make the disability savings accounts simpler and better known for families who need them.
Too much paperwork and confusion now. It took us multiple trips to the branch and a massive pile of forms to set ours up.
Most never get through all the red tape. Parents of children with disabilities have enough to think about. Let’s make it hassle-free to save for their kids’ future.

Why did the Liberal govt remove the Right of First Refusal established for the @Commissionaires & Cdn #veterans in 1945? Watch and judge the non-answer.

We remember Cpl Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent who lost their lives twelve years ago to a terrorist attack aimed at the very fabric of our nation.

Twelve years ago, Canada lost Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent to acts of terrorism at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Two proud Canadians who wore our country's uniform with honour, taken far too soon from their families and friends who loved them.
We will never forget their sacrifice. We will defend the freedoms they fought to protect and never surrender to terror.
Pte Aidan Goulding, Pte Shaun Farrell, Pte Hayden Lykkemark, Sgt Morgan Wong made the supreme sacrifice. I won’t forget. Canada won’t forget. #LestWeForget. @CanadianArmy @CanadianForces @RoyalCdnLegion #PPCLI #WeWillRememberThem

CAF members: starting this year, the poppy will be worn on all uniforms starting October 24.
This change will provide a longer and more consistent period for wearing the poppy.

Pray for Wainwright, everyone.
There has been a serious incident that caused a fire at CFB Wainwright. Thank you to the brave firefighters and emergency responders working to save lives.
I have spoken to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence to offer our support to everyone on the base and in the community.
To everyone in the area, please stay safe, follow local emergency instructions, and keep roads clear for first responders.
Thoughts and prayers are with all the soldiers, their families and anyone involved. borderpulse.ca/explosion-rep…

On World Mental Health Day, we want every Veteran, military member, and family member to know: you are never alone.
Invisible wounds are just as real as physical ones, and seeking support is a sign of strength. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to resources like a Command Service Officer or your local Legion branch. Find a Service Officer in your area by visiting: legion.ca/support-for-vetera…
Let's look out for one another.
The Liberal gun grab compensation program is providing inaccurate info to law-abiding, vetted and licenced participating firearms owners on how to ship their firearms. I tried to get answers from the Liberal govt. Listen and judge the answer for yourself. #BruceGreyOwenSound
