I sent a message to Prime Minister Carney this morning through the government portal: “Stand our ground. That is all.” @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre @ABDanielleSmith @cspotweet @_scottreid @ChantalHbert @acoyne @ryanjespersen @KoryCPC @supriyadwivedi

This.
Canadians were never culture warriors. Canadians were mostly just sick of Justin Trudeau (and a combination of government, business, and "education" broke immigration). Conservatives across Canada thought they had permission to act Trumpy. They didn't.

Today, I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia. This was not an easy decision, but I believe it is the right one for our movement and our province. My full statement:

Legit things @CPC_HQ could champion. Oil and gas supply to Sarina. Line 5 is US owned. This could be classified as a national security issue. Gas supply and compression to east coast. Bigger commercial ports: if we are going to trade with Europe, we need the infrastructure.

This didn’t make the hair on my neck stand up at all… Not one bit.
I just enacted a new law PROHIBITING other state militaries from entering California unless they have EXPLICIT permission from the Governor. California will defend the rights of the nearly 40 million people who call our state home.

Well the next morning the sun would still rise in the east, Canadians would get out of bed and get on getting on with it. What… you wanted pearl clutching?
What happens when the US border just closes to all Canadians.

“He’s the one who said no to Trump” I’d wager that’s being said in more countries than just France. I’d wager it’s being studied by every country that felt like they were stepped on. And that is how it begins. With the one who says “no” Very proud of my Prime Minister.
"Mark Carney est un banquier avec un CV assez impressionnant, quelqu’un de pragmatique. Il était considéré comme quelqu’un qui n’avait pas vraiment de charisme. Son opposition à Trump lui a donné une stature internationale. C’est celui qui a dit non à Trump". @FredericArnould

I’d argue with you and point out a whack of inaccuracies… But I’m going to save my breath and argue with the next leader of the CPC because I think your days are numbered. Your desperation for relevance would be what I point to as evidence.
How can Canadians trust Prime Minster Mark Carney when he says one thing in Canada and the opposite in Europe? Conservatives are clear: yes to free trade and NATO defence cooperation with Europe. No to forcing EU taxes, EU laws, & EU’s radical open-border immigration policy on struggling Canadians who are already paying too much.

Nothing has been negotiated with EU yet. You know this. Yet here we are. And this is why CPC is going to lose the next election too.
Media bias on display: Carney negotiates a deal in secret with EU officials, then gets caught lying about. What does most of the Canadian media focus on? Manufacturing gossip pieces about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Carry on Sir. You are doing fine. Stay the course.
The alliance between Canada and Europe is not defined by what we oppose. It is about what we are for: freedom, solidarity, prosperity, sustainability. An alliance strong enough so that no one can dictate our choices. Europe and Canada are each strong. Europe and Canada are even stronger together. An honour to address the European parliament today.
25
Moves made for trade with Australia, UK, Asia, The Middle East, The EU, and his Investment Summit. The guy who threatens us, tells us who we can and can’t talk to, and treats us like his property - Trump? Who the hell wants to expand that kind of relationship?
Mark Carney was elected to get a trade deal..he failed! We are not European, we are Canadian! He thinks he’s European, wife is from Britain. He’ll leave Canada as soon as he leaves politics.

Well @SenSusanCollins If your partner who used to be just fine shows up one day and says “do what I want or I’m going to punch you in the mouth” “You can only have the friends I let you have” “Your stuff is mine” Are YOU going to stick around?

Just checking… stand by… Threats to annex my country whether I like it or not… EU 0 USA …. Yeah. @RepStutzman
Rep. Marlin Stutzman: "If Canada thinks that they have a better partner in the European Union than the United States, I think that they're going to make a terrible decision."

Nothing has been negotiated yet. It’s been proposed, it’s being talked about. It hasn’t happened yet. Cool your jets a little. And why the hell am I having to explain this to a member of parliament? Rage bait much?
For the second time in a week Canadians are learning from foreigners that Mark Carney is trying to make Canada an associate member of the EU. Just last week Mark Carney said this wasn’t happening when the WSJ reported on this. Canadians deserve the truth. Why did Mark Carney negotiate this deal and then lie about it? Why do Canadians have to learn about this from foreigners? …..and more importantly why are Canadians being lied to by their Prime Minister?

Begging Carney to call an election over the EU or any major project to resist the Yankee menace ain’t gonna go the way some conservatives think.
