🚨 Mark Carney is taking the Emergencies Act case to the Supreme Court! 🚨 We challenged Trudeau's illegal use of this law and won at two levels of court. We are confident we can win at the Supreme Court too. We are ready to fight against this government overreach and abuse

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Today the @CDNConstFound is in the Supreme Court of Canada in Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights v AG. This case is a challenge to the legality of a May 2020 federal order reclassifying certain firearms as prohibited. The CCF is intervening to propose a framework for determining when government policies and guidelines are law, regardless of how they are labelled

Today at our Prescriptions for Healthcare Reform conference, Vienna Pedatella and her mother Janene shared their story.

Vienna waited more than two years for scoliosis surgery in Canada while her condition deteriorated. Her family eventually paid nearly $200,000 for surgery in the US after Alberta refused funding.

Today, Vienna has fully recovered and is studying to become a nurse.

The CCF is supporting her constitutional challenge because Canadians should not be forced to suffer while waiting for medically necessary care, or face financial ruin to access it elsewhere.

It was incredibly moving to hear Vienna tell her story in her own words today.

Great discussion at today's Prescriptions for Health Reform conference, where I moderated the politicians' panel featuring former Nova Scotia Liberal Premier Stephen McNeil, former federal Conservative Health Minister Tony Clement, and current Conservative critic for Health Raquel Dancho.

We discussed the political challenges of meaningful health care reform and what it will take to give Canadians better access to timely care.

Proud that the @CDNConstFound is co-hosting this important conversation!
