Today Queen Elizabeth II becomes the longest-reigning Canadian (and British) Monarch. Long may She reign! Aujourd’hui, la Reine Elizabeth II est devenue la souveraine canadienne (et britannique) au règne le plus long. Que soit long son règne!

Our Conservative government has delivered a $5 Billion SURPLUS for the first part of the year. http://www.theglobeandmail.com//federal-g/article26141782/

Congratulations to the White Rock All-Stars on their victory over the East Nepean Eagles at the Canadian Little League Championship game in Ottawa. After a scoreless first inning, White Rock scored three times in the second before adding five in the fourth and eight in a huge fifth inning. The All-Stars continued to score runs, with a final score of 16-0 for White Rock. Best of luck to the team as they head onto the 2015 Little League Baseball World Series!

False campaign about Universal Child Care Benefit online. An anti-Conservative group that opposes the boosted Universal Child Care Benefit is spreading false information online. The false ad focuses on the old Child Tax Credit, which was only worth about $300 at the end of the year, not the $2250 as the ad claims. Many families were never eligible to receive it at all. The government has folded this credit into a larger and simpler $720 increase of the Universal Child Care Benefit, which goes to every kid in Canada. Regardless of income, the expanded Universal Child Care Benefit leaves more money in the pockets of 100% of families with kids. No exceptions. Finally, the Child Tax Credit is often confused with the Canada Child Tax *Benefit* -- a completely different program. The Child Tax Benefit remains unchanged.
