Welcome to our campaign website!
In the face of unprecedented threats from US President Donald Trump, Canadians have united with strength and patriotism.
I think this reflects a deep pride in what we have created in Canada: a unique multicultural mosaic where we celebrate differences while uniting as Canadians; where we take care of each other, whether through public healthcare when we are sick or old age security when we can no longer work.
Yet, certain politicians in our country claim “everything’s broken”. I believe they are seriously misguided.
While we have many challenges to face and work to do, we live in a nation that has much to be admired and is most worthy of being defended.
We do have problems. Right here in Vancouver Kingsway, people are struggling with affordability. The cost of living is rising, housing is out of reach for too many, and small businesses are fighting to stay afloat. On top of that, Trump’s new tariffs threaten Canadian jobs. New Democrats have always stood up for working people and small businesses - and we will not stop now.
We must stand up to Trump’s threats and defend our sovereignty, but we must do so without losing sight of who we are. We are a nation built on principle, not fear. We do not falter in the face of adversity; we rise to meet it. We believe in a Canada where no child goes to school hungry, where no worker is left without fair wages, and where no family is forced to choose between medication and rent.
From delivering dental care and free prescription coverage for diabetes and contraception medicines to millions of people, to a national school nutrition program, to paid sick days for workers, we’ve shown what we can accomplish when we work together.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss any issue of concern.
I look forward to building a better Canada for everyone, together.
Best,
