2/2: Proof can be found at the food banks. Last year, food bank use rose to over 2 M monthly visitors, up 32% year over year. This year that increase is expected to be an additional 18%. Carbon tax needs to be repealed. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #foodbanks #carbontax

5/5: Get back to basics. Rein in spending, lower inflation, allow interest rates to drop, and encourage private sector investment that creates good jobs and brings home prosperity. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #budget2024 #cdnpoli

Gr 5 & 6 students @ Holy Name School in Killarney each chose a topic about human rights. I visited their gallery of projects. Students also created QR codes with videos of presentations in EN & FR. The students were very inspiring. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #humanrights #cdnpoli

3/3: Their absolute refusal to come clean suggests strongly there are no protections for Cdn workers in those juicy contracts. Transparency in return for almost $50 B in subsidies would be good governance. These are OUR tax dollars. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #EVSubsidy

I attended the Final Spike Steam Tour to celebrate creation of CPKC, 1st single-line railway connecting Canada, US & Mexico. Folks got close up to the 2816 steam locomotive + more. I had great time: what (grown) boy doesn't love trains! #calgarycentre #yyccentre #CPKC #steamtrain

2/2: The story quotes Mr. Haq's lawyer: "his client's deportation would have had a "chilling effect" on foreign nationals wanting to engage in political activism." Yes. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #zainhaq #immigration

Let us take the day to remember, and to say in unison: "Never Forget; Never Again". #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #YomHaShoah #NeverForget #NeverAgain

1/4: Govt claims 90% of revenue from the carbon tax is rebated, but they don't talk about impact on non-profits like schools, municipalities and charities. There are no rebates for them, but the costs are high. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #foodbank #carbontax #plasticsban

4/4: This government is out of control and is leaving an insurmountable mountain of debt to the next government, with no wiggle room to pay for unforeseen crises (wars, pandemics, droughts) in future years. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #budget2024 #debt

"NOT HELPFUL": Today, Bank of Canada Gov Tiff Macklem appeared before parliamentary Finance Ctte & said $61 B in new spending in Lib budget is "not helpful" in bringing down interest rates. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #Budget2024 #inflation #InterestRates #TiffMacklem

2/2 Meanwhile, I asked why govt manipulates data to make finances look better: ex. including CPP & QPP holdings as "assets" but pension funds are held in trust for Cdns. Calling them assets distorts metrics used by the govt to grade their own performance. #calgarycentre #cdnpoli

4/4: Today in the House, Conservatives asked for an emergency debate. Our Leader was ejected for calling these reckless policies "whacko", but frankly, I think most Canadians would agree that what happened in BC is a terrible idea. \ What do you think? #calgarycentre #yyccentre

2/2: Conservatives continue to press to see the contracts with these multinationals. What guarantees have been made on both sides to ensure Cdn tax money supports Cdn workers? We believe any taxpayer-funded jobs should go to Cdns. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #jobsubsidies

I met with reps of Ahmadiyya Muslim Communities, in Ottawa to release their 2023 Persecution Report. I am pictured with colleagues MP @shuvmajumdar (Calgary Heritage) on pic's left, and MP @PatKelly_MP (Calgary Rocky Ridge) to the right of me. #calgarycentre #cdnpoli #Ahmadiyya

3/3: This is another example of Liberal insiders profiting from taxpayers' funds despite little actual work or achievement. See my original remarks in the House of Commons at: gregmcleanmp.ca/abolish-libera… #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #insiders

Knocking on doors in Bel-Aire: concern about city's plan to rezone whole city (possibly to receive fed housing $$) & affordability (housing, inflation, food prices, interest rates, taxes). There is general view fed govt is on wrong track & it hurts people. #calgarycentre #cdnpoli

1/2: I consistently hear from constituents about housing. The ONLY good part of the budget was its focus on addressing housing issues, although we'll see if the hodge-podge of programs actually deliver new, affordable homes. #calgarycentre #yyccentre #cdnpoli #housingcrisis
