Hockey Night in Canada
“I feel nostalgic about Hockey Night in Canada. I have many fond memories of watching it with my family. It had a big impact on Canadian culture and inspired many young people to play hockey.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Martel consistently pounds the table about federal debt, deficits, and spending, implying the government is directly to blame for everyday Canadians' financial struggles. He's a one-note fiscal hawk, regularly contrasting pricey Ottawa bureaucracy with hard times in his riding. Hockey nostalgia aside, he gives off a gloomy, pessimistic view that Canada under the Liberals is stuck in a costly, mismanaged rut.

Oral Questions
“The Prime Minister says everything's fine but it isn't. People need fundraisers to survive. He's wasteful, spending your money on fancy food while you struggle. He should spend less so you have more.”
Oral Questions
“You are making Canada fail. Only Canada is in a recession out of all the big countries. The deficit is very high and keeps going up. People's money buys less now than in 2015. Groceries, mortgages, and gas all cost more. Is it all just technical? Or will you admit Canada is in a recession?”
Oral Questions
“People in my riding are struggling. They tell me they have to make hard choices just to get by. But this government keeps spending more! I want the Liberals to see what is happening out in the real world. They need to stop spending so much and stop making families pay for their mistakes.”
Oral Questions
“I want the government to spend less money. The Prime Minister borrows too much. He wastes billions on interest. That money should go to families and seniors instead. Canadians have to cut back. Why won't he cut the waste and bureaucracy?”
“Government debt is too high. Seniors and families are suffering. The prime minister should stop spending so much money.”
Oral Questions
“The prime minister spends too much. He puts it all on the credit card. That costs everyone more. It makes people go into debt to eat. He should stop.”
Oral Questions
“It doesn't matter what you say. A group of Canadians are sad. The government should spend money to fix this.”
