Conservative Member of Parliament for Calgary Centre; elected 2019; re-elected 2021 & 2025. Focus on energy, environment, economy. Love the mountains, hiking and biking, and music. Zero tolerance for profanity in posts.
On #WorldDiabetesDay, I want to recognize the strength of everyone living with diabetes. Managing this condition takes courage—whether you’ve been at it for years or just starting. You’re not alone. We see you, and we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way. #TypeResilient

I recently attended the Grand Opening of Art Café on 11 St SW in Calgary—a great new spot for creativity and community! Also had a great chat with Harrison from Calgary Tourism about showcasing our city. #Calgary #LocalBusiness #Tourism #YYCCentre

Yesterday during #ConstituencyWeek, I met with Bow Valley College’s Student Association in #Calgary to discuss affordability, access, and support for students & newcomers. Thanks Marc, Joshua, Laura, Nic & Manjot! @bowvalleycollege.bsky.social

Honoured to join Calgarians today at the Jubilee Auditorium, the Cenotaph, and the Royal Canadian Legion to mark #RemembranceDay. This year we reflect on 80 years since WWII ended and Calgary’s proud military legacy. #LestWeForget. #CalgaryCentre

1/2: I attended Bow Valley College's Premier's Fundraiser which raises money for student scholarships. In the first photo, I'm pictured with Kevin Gregor, who has organized this fundraiser for 28 years (!) and Sabina Shah, a lawyer at Carscallen LLP.

1/2: I co-sponsored a meeting in Ottawa -- along with Leslie Church, a Toronto MP - of 'Canada Powered by Women'. They bring a great perspective on the importance of energy to our economy for women across Canada.

🧵1/6: Last week, PM Mark Carney told a room of students that they will have to "sacrifice", for "some time", as he rejigs the economy.

I've been saying since the day I got elected that Liberal out of control spending, and resultant deficits & debt, will be carried by our children & grandchildren.

🧵 1/6: This week, the Auditor-General reported on the service levels of the Canada Revenue Agency.

If you've ever needed help, the following facts won't surprise you:

1/2: Constituents often urge my colleagues and me to be more collaborative with government and less critical, but it works both ways. The government must also be willing to accept advice.

1/3: I spoke today on the new Bill C-12 on border security. It replaces the seriously flawed Bill C-2 which we expect the government will withdraw. Here's another attempt to address this longstanding issue, which has been allowed to grow out of control.

1/4: During debate on C-12 I raised concerns about the integrity of Canada’s asylum system. Responding to a colleague’s observation about social media ads that encourage temp residents to claim asylum as a way to stay after student visas or work permits expire ...

🚨Liberal Environment Minister refused 6 times to say if she supports building a pipeline.

When asked whether Canada has the right to declare projects in the national interest, she dodged & doesn’t recognize the Constitution or the federal govt’s authority to do so.

🧵1/5: On Monday, Conservatives will call for an emergency debate on the crisis in Canada's auto industry.

This matters to AB. The auto industry purchases $30 Billion/yr in inputs from across Canada, including petrochemical products (plastics), specialized equipment, & engineering services from AB.

I visited Rob Barrow, Pres of Eco-Pro Services. Propane is low carbon, clean-burning energy that emits virtually no air pollutants, & is safely transported & used. Rob & team gave me excellent primer on this fuel that is rising in popularity and applications.

1/2: Who makes money from high housing prices & what contributes to these high costs? I asked Professor Ian Lee, Associate Professor of Management at the Sprott School at Carleton University, when he appeared at the House Finance Committee.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is my Pints and Politics event for young professionals.

Join me for a beverage and let's talk about "projects of national interest" and other issues of critical importance to young professionals such as cost of living, housing, and careers.

May your Thanksgiving weekend be filled with laughter, love, and warmth.

And if you are able to do so, please consider making a donation or volunteering with one of Calgary's many non-profits that help to make this weekend special for everyone.

🧵1/5: It is worth reminding Canadians - and the federal government - that provinces do not have a veto over inter-provincial pipelines, like the one proposed by the Alberta government.

1/3: Conservatives are pleased to hear President Trump and Mark Carney are open to reconsidering KXL.

It's been delayed a long time since the Harper administration approved it in 2010, so it might be hard to resuscitate, but talking is the first step.
October 9, 2025 at 7:05 PM
1/2: Knocking on doors with Marina Ortman, candidate for City Council in Ward 9.

She's a great choice to serve on council. Self-employed, community-engaged, focused on fixing the problems she's encountered at City Hall, including her success in keeping our public pool open in Inglewood.

Tonight begins the weeklong Jewish holiday that comes five days after Yom Kippur and celebrates the gathering of the harvest. It also commemorates the miraculous protection G‑d provided for the children of Israel when they left Egypt. Chag Sameach!

1/4: Conservatives have announced that we will not be voting for Bill C-2 (the Strong Borders Act) UNLESS Liberals remove the violations of Canadians’ individual freedoms and privacy.

1/4: Tomorrow the Conservatives will use our Opposition Day to encourage passage of the "Jail Not Bail" Act.

Canadians are increasingly worried about safety on the streets, but the Liberals' Bill C-75 explicitly instructs judges to release offenders ...

1/4: Prime Minister Carney has now created a third new bureaucracy - the Defense Investment Agency (the first two are for housing and major projects).
