Our border officers are essential to our security— keeping drugs, guns, and criminals out of our communities.

So, we’re investing in the Canada Border Services Agency to hire 1,000 new officers who will keep our borders secure and our streets safe.

Canadians already rejected Pierre Poilievre's politics of spectacle and division.

He's doubling down because it's all he has to offer.

"I didn't become a teacher so I could fight with the government. I became a teacher so I could make a difference."

Teachers have been extremely clear about what they need to help students succeed: more teachers, more classrooms.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

One of the first things our new government did was cut taxes for more than 22 million Canadians.

For parents, that’s taking some of the pressure off — so you can focus on providing the best life for your kids, and worry less about the cost.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad.

While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.
