Chills. The culmination of 144 years of work, inspired by faith, to create a temple of unparalleled beauty. It is the great Gothic tradition brought to life in and for our own times. It is the realization of the impossibly audacious vision of a humble man of prayer, one of the great artistic and technical geniuses of the modern age. And it is a miracle of sorts, having risen from the ashes after the efforts of hateful communists anarchists to destroy it in 1936.

Le TGV libéral est une dépense inutile de 90 milliards de dollars qui ne profitera qu'aux élites libérales, malgré le fait qu'il soit entièrement financé par les familles québécoises et canadiennes. Les agriculteurs, les propriétaires fonciers et les travailleurs disent NON au TGV. Les conservateurs sont avec eux. Signez si vous êtes d'accord : conservateur.ca/cpc/mettons-…

Why do I fight taxes. That’s the job. And has been for 800 years.

I’m proud of the work our Conservative team on the Justice Committee did to better protect victims — in particular women and girls — from sexually explicit deepfakes and intimate images shared without consent. Thanks to these amendments: - Social media companies will be forced to remove illegal images within 48 hours; - Abusive and exploitative AI-generated images and videos will be captured by the law; - There will be a new penalty for distributing material depicting sexual assault; - The definition of intimate image has been broadened to avoid letting perpetrators evade justice on a technicality. lfpress.com/news/local-news/…

Happy Catholic Education Week! 🎉 This year’s theme, “Anchored in Hope,” is a powerful reminder of the foundation Catholic schools provide to thousands of Alberta families. So grateful for our incredible Catholic education community. @ACSTA_News

Anyone who applies for a temporary residence visa (e.g. students, workers, tourists) has to sign an application confirming that they HAD NOT INTENTION TO STAY permanently. They have to submit documentation to persuade a Canadian visa officer, per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, that on a balance of probabilities, they are likely to leave Canada before the end of their authorized stay. That documentation includes proof of "establishment factors" in their home country, e.g. assets, employment, family ties, etc.. Many are then questioned by a visa officer abroad, and then a visa officer at the port of entry, further to establish their bona fides as a TEMPORARY RESIDENT. The visa they receive in their passport makes it perfectly clear in plain English and French that they are legally required to leave the country within the authorized period. Any official IRCC content they read online would make it absolutely clear that they are applying for temporary, permanent residency, and are not permitted to stay. If anyone can come, overstay, and violate our fair and generous immigration laws, then why not just have an open borders policy? On what grounds could we deny people temporary visas? Because they've been honest about their intentions to stay permanently? Finally, it is not a terrible hardship to ask people to return to the countries they are from. Imaging that Canada must "save" people from their homelands is a profound kind of chauvinism. Of course, there is a moral and legal exception for people facing a well-founded fear of persecution, but that's what the asylum system exists to determine.

Alberta is on the eve of a massive energy and economic boom not seen since the early 2000s. We will have full employment and a ton of skilled workers from other provinces coming in to work on all of these projects. Lot’s of amazing opportunities for our people young and old. Key will be for government to really focus in on affordability issues that come with full employment and Alberta boom-time growth.

So excited to see the imminent completion of the Sagrada Família (i.e. the Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) after a century of construction. One of the most audacious and stunningly beautiful buildings on Earth.
