Right now, a multi-millionaire in Canada could pay a lower marginal tax rate than a nurse.
We’re changing that. We’re asking the wealthiest few to pay a little more — to pay their fair share.

Well said @karinagould - the rights and freedoms of Canadians that are enshrined in the Charter are non negotiable.
19 May 2024
When someone tells you they will start taking your rights away, believe them. And when that someone is Mr. Poilievre, remember he's done it before.
This long weekend, tell him the Charter belongs to Canadians and to keep his hands off of our rights and freedoms.

People like me didn’t have equal rights until the Charter. Within my lifetime. So, I am vigilant about those rights.
What Pierre Poilievre said this week about minority rights, the notwithstanding clause and the Charter is chilling.

Pierre is not being silenced, he’s dodging denouncing white supremacy. Never thought I’d see a day a leader of an opposition party disrespecting parliament in this manner!
History will remember.
Pierre doesn’t care about Canadians.

Pierre Poilievre refuses to disavow right-wing extremists. He has adopted the same dangerous political rhetoric. Today, his bullying tactics hit a new low with yet another temper tantrum. This is not leadership.

This is not true. The Speaker asked Mr. Poilievre to withdraw the term for calling the prime minister a wacko, not for calling the policies wacko.
30 Apr 2024
BREAKING: Today the Liberal speaker censored me for describing Trudeau's hard drug policy as wacko.
6 people dying from overdoses every day in BC is wacko.
Kids playing next to used syringes is wacko.
Nurses worried about breastfeeding after breathing in toxic drug fumes is wacko.
This is a wacko policy from a wacko PM that's destroying lives.

Pam, you have been a remarkable Member of Parliament and I have enjoyed working alongside you to serve our #Oakville community. Sad to see you leaving politics. Now more than ever, we need to engender a supportive environment for women in politics. #AddWomenChangePolitics

April is #CancerAwareness month.
To everyone who is hurting and to everyone supporting, know that you are in my heart and thoughts every day.
I wish I could lighten your days.
I have asked the government questions on cancer, diagnosis, treatment, and research. @cancersociety

Admire you so very much, Marci Ien
.@ABDanielleSmith wants to “depoliticize the issue”. The company she's kept tells a very different story. What world do conservatives want by targeting the vulnerable?
Young people have the right to be who they are. I stand with them, their Prime Minister stands with them. ⬇️

Sad, but not surprised to see David Lametti resign as Liberal MP. Working with David over my time in office I was impressed with his caring attitude about numerous files. He was definitely one of the good guys. Good luck with your new gig David!
