“Canadians cannot succeed economically if our freedoms are under attack...” — Leslyn Lewis Quote

Canadians cannot succeed economically if our freedoms are under attack.

Because I understand the Constitution, I understand democratic ideals and our parliamentary system, it's an easy transition to then say 'OK, what are the principles that tie into these ideals?' and that's basically how I approach my policy.

One-size-fits-all response to a health crisis doesn't even work across Canada, let alone the entire globe.

I don't hide who I am as a person who believes in the sanctity of life, and I don't hide my views on abortion, but as a policy-maker, my goal is to find things that unite us and that we can agree on.

I did protection work with dogs. I trained dogs how to protect their handlers and owners. We'd teach them bite work, how to search buildings and deal with gunfire and stuff like that. Sometimes I'd be the 'bad guy' that dogs would attack in training.
