Davies frequently calls for more federal spending, especially on programs that would benefit his Vancouver Kingsway riding. He is quick to criticize the government and advocate for NDP policies, portraying his own party as the only one that truly cares about average Canadians. However, he often ignores flaws in those NDP proposals, and seems more focused on scoring political points than achieving pragmatic solutions.
“I want to look like I care about workers. But what I really want is more rules for banks. Quebec has new rules that sound good. We should do those same rules for all of Canada.”
“I want the federal government to make banks ask more questions. Maybe that would help stop some fraud.”
“$6 billion to $12 billion is lost to fraud in Canada each year. The NDP wants to make banks do more to help stop it.”
“Fraud is a big problem. Banks should do more to protect customers. I told two stories about people who lost a lot of money. The government should make banks responsible for fraud losses. The NDP proposed some changes but the other parties voted against them. I want banks to pay back fraud victims. We should audit banks to make sure they follow anti-fraud rules. I want stronger rules to protect people from fraud.”
“I want to say nice things about the hon. member for North Vancouver—Capilano. He did a good job in government. Everyone knows him for working hard. He got us to spend money on salmon conservation. British Columbia MPs especially like him. The hon. member made a difference. Now he's going to be ambassador in Europe. I think he'll do well there. I joked he should remember he used to be a Young New Democrat. I asked what Tommy Douglas would do. I wished him well.”
“I'm an expert on labour rights. I want the government to respect workers' right to strike. The government should not interfere in collective bargaining.”
“You're letting companies spy on people and charge them more instead of banning it during a crisis.”
“You say you're protecting Canada, but you're cutting $60 billion from programs. You're even cutting over $2 billion from indigenous programs. What will happen to the communities that need that money?”
“You're planning to spend an insane amount on the military. $159 billion a year! How are you going to pay for that?”
“The government isn't delivering on their housing promise. They said they would double the housing construction rate, but the numbers show they're barely doing a fraction of that. The Minister needs to explain this massive failure.”
“You didn't answer. I'll ask again. Tell us if the government will really end pharmacare in 2029.”
“The government made a big promise but didn't do it. I want the minister to explain why they broke their word.”
“I want you to admit this will make flights cost more.”
“I want to know if you think selling off airports will make them better.”
“Privatizing airports is bad. Costs went up in the U.K. and service went down. Foreign governments own parts of Heathrow now. I want the government to review the risks of foreign entities owning our infrastructure.”
“I want the government to take money away from oil companies because they are making too much profit.”
