The government assumed bond rates would fall over the year- that's a problem when the federal government needs to borrow nearly $600b in the bond market this year.
Prime Minister Carney's reckless fiscal decisions to double deficits put Canada's finances at risk.

Congrats to the Owen Sound Pickleball Club on their grand opening! Not sure who has the footage but Naomi & I even got a chance to try pickleball out. What a lot of fun & the “old” guy can still hold his own vs the teenager!

25 years ago, 2,974 lives and families were changed forever. The attacks profoundly impacted Canada, taking the lives of 24 Canadians and resulting in our 12 year operations in Afghanistan where 158 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice and thousands were injured as a result of their service.
In the years since, September 11th has formally become Canada’s National Day of Service, and the Provincial Day of Service in the province of Ontario — meant to remember the courage and compassion in the aftermath of 9/11 and rekindle the spirit of kindness and goodwill that unified our country best exhibited by our friends in Gander, Newfoundland.
We will never forget.

Entrepreneurship is declining in Canada, and that should concern us all.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our local communities. Canada needs policies that make it easier to start, grow, and invest in a business.
The Liberals need to restore investor confidence, cut red tape, and make Canada a place where entrepreneurs can succeed and businesses can thrive.

It’s time for a buddy check.
I recently had a call from a buddy of mine that also served in the military and he’s going through a rough time. Veterans across Canada are dealing with challenges big and small.
Whether you’re making a call or taking a call, staying connected to friends and former colleagues helps those going through difficult times.
Let’s have each others backs. Let’s look out for each other.
Have a great rest of the summer everyone.
