Canadian history from our Canadian Passports
I attended the Canada First Rally in Ottawa where I witnessed the shock on peoples faces when Pierre talked about our new Canadian passport and what was removed. The great Canadian, Terry Fox was removed. Those who were not aware of the changes were in disbelief. Then Pierre said that they had also removed a very significant part of our history Vimy Ridge. What were the Liberals thinking, that they could just remove our history and what our passports represented. Look in Windsor West, it is full of history from past wars, which made Canadians proud of our victories. These are represented on many of our street signs. Will our street signs be next?
My family is in Ottawa, and I would often walk by the Terry Fox statue and remember how he sacrificed and perseverance to raise money for Cancer. This video will tell you more about what was taken from our Canadian passport. Pierre Poilievre brought it up in Parliament and Canadians could not believe their ears.
Canadian Passport will NEVER be the same
The Liberal government of Canada made significant changes to the design of the Canadian passport, removing several historical images, including iconic figures like Terry Fox. Previously, the passport featured images that celebrated Canada’s heritage, such as the Vimy Ridge memorial and Terry Fox, a national hero known for his Marathon of Hope to raise awareness for cancer research. The redesign, which replaced some of our history with more generic imagery sparked controversy among many Canadians who viewed the decision as an erasure of the country’s cultural and historical identity. Critics argue that removing figures like Terry Fox diminishes the recognition of his lasting impact on Canadian history and values, while the government defends the redesign as a modernization effort aimed at enhancing security features and ensuring a more inclusive representation. What are your thoughts?
We will never Forget Terry Fox

The Liberals may have removed Terry Fox from our passports but he will never be erased from Canadian history
Canadian Citizenship Ceremony
Before I sat down at the rally, I spoke to someone who had immigrated to Canada many years ago. They said it was a very emotional experience as they stood in a group of other people who were becoming citizens that day. So it was shocking to hear The Liberal government in Canada has proposed changes to the citizenship ceremony. They are allowing individuals to take the Oath of Citizenship online instead of attending a formal in-person ceremony. Essentially enabling a “click citizenship” option where one can become a citizen with a simple click, which has been met with criticism from Canadians. The Liberals say this change is primarily to address the growing backlog of citizenship applications and expedite the process. So they want to eliminate a traditional in person ceremony that many immigrants have said was one of the highlights of their lives.
The Liberal government cites the need to manage a large number of citizenship applications, particularly due to increased immigration targets.
The public has said :
This change diminishes the significance of the citizenship ceremony and the symbolic value of becoming a Canadian citizen in a traditional setting.

Canadians from all over Canada came to the Canada First Rally
Attending a Pierre Poilievre rally was an eye-opening experience, especially seeing the diversity of the crowd that had gathered. People from all sorts of cultural backgrounds, ages, and walks of life stood together, united by a shared interest in his vision for Canada. Waving Canadian flags, wearing red and white shirts it was very patriotic. The atmosphere was electrifying, with supporters passionately engaged in hearing Pierre’s speech. It was inspiring to witness such a broad representation of Canadians, proving that political engagement transcends race and ethnicity. The rally felt like a reflection of the country’s multicultural identity, with people from different communities finding common ground in their hopes for a majority Conservative Government. Regardless of individual backgrounds, there was a sense of unity in the room, demonstrating how diverse perspectives can come together in a shared political movement for the betterment of all Canadians.
I felt proud to represent Windsor West at this event, which I attended with my 12 year old son so he could get a sense of patriotism and love for our country.
It is why I want to be nominated to be the next Windsor West Conservative MP and to be THE VOICE OF WINDSOR.
