As the weather gets colder, many of us are turning up the heat to keep warm this winter. 

But if you're anything like me and most Canadians from coast to coast, you'll be shocked by how much it costs just to have this basic necessity of life. 

Thanks to Trudeau's carbon tax, households heating with natural gas will be paying an extra $381 this winter -- on top of the already-astronomical price rises in years past. 

This is just the beginning -- it's only going to get more expensive as the carbon tax rises higher and higher. Punishing YOU for simply trying to live. 

Conservatives say ENOUGH -- it's time for a Carbon Tax Election so Canadians can decide to finally axe the tax so we can heat our homes, fill our tanks, and just live life as we used to. 

It's common sense -- let's bring it home. 

Yours,

Melissa Lantsman
Member of Parliament for Thornhill
Deputy Leader of Canada's Conservatives

Lest we Forget

It is my honour to join The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375 in Richmond Hill, remembering the brave men and women who fought for our rights and freedoms to make this the greatest country in the world. Today and every day - we remember you, and we thank you 🇨🇦

We will never forget. 🇨🇦 When we reflect on our freedom, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for that freedom. I thank you. Canada thanks you.

Thank you to Mayor Steven del Duca and the City of Vaughan for putting together a beautiful, dignified and solemn Remembrance Day ceremony.

Working for You

Congrats to Justin and the Olive Branch team for opening the doors to your fully kosher grocery store here in Thornhill!

Re-Welcome to the community with your own thing that will serve Thornhillers with everything they need!

Check them out at the Promenade Mall.

Celebrating Diwali in Thornhill!

Always a pleasure to join the Thornhill Senior Citizens Club. Thank you to President Kashmir Sangha and all the TSCC members for welcoming me to your celebrations. May the divine light of Diwali bring you peace, prosperity, happiness, and good health!

Honoured to share our Common Sense vision for 🇨🇦 at the VentureLab HardTech Summit. It’s rooms like these that make me feel optimistic about what the future holds for our country. Canada is home to the smartest people in the world, and we need to protect that - by fixing what the government broke. 

Remember, the government shouldn’t stand in the way of your success, tax you to death and have their big foot of regulation on the necks of enterprise. The government should be there to facilitate your success by getting the heck out of the way. And a Pierre Poilievre government will do exactly that 💪💪

So great to meet The Honorable Gerry Weiner, a former Mulroney Cabinet Minister with some wise advice about his time in politics. Thanks for visiting Thornhill!

Such a pleasure to be a part of the inaugural Hindu Heritage Festival in Streetsville. Thank you to President Sangita Iyer and the entire Shaktii team for putting together such a wonderful event celebrating freedom and light in the face of so much division and darkness - and celebrating the values we hold dear here in 🇨🇦. Wishing you many more years of success!

Kicking off the winter season at Vaughan City Hall at their second annual Festival of Lights 🎉👏

Always great to party with you, Vaughan! 🎶

Working for you in Ottawa

Nearly ten years ago the Prime Minister pledged that he would lead “the most transparent and open government in the world.” Today, it’s easy to see just how far he’s fallen.

Scandal after scandal after scandal. The Liberals, alongside their NDP partners in crime, have allowed a new culture of corruption to take hold in Ottawa.

Honoured to meet Brigadier General (ret.) Amir Avivi, chair and founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, alongside my colleague Marty Morantz.

He shared his thoughtful assessment of Israel, the Middle East, and their future.

Trudeau wants to distract from the economic misery he created with the divisions he’s caused here at home.

Canadians aren't buying it - but they are paying for it. Call an election - now.

An honour to meet with Iris Weinstein, daughter of Judi Weinstein. Judi was savagely kidnapped and murdered by Hamas in the aftermath of October 7th. 

My colleague Shuv Majumdar and I demand that Judi be brought home and that the terrorists be held accountable. 

We stand with Iris and Judi's whole family in seeking justice. 

How can the Minister sleep at night knowing the Liberal hug-a-thug policies are putting Canadians in danger?

Also, numbers are hard for him.

Celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, in Ottawa.

Thanks to my colleague Todd Doherty for keeping on this time-honoured tradition on Parliament Hill. Brighter days are ahead - and light will always triumph over darkness.

We know why President Trump wants to take Canadian jobs - but why does our Prime Minister want to help him?
