My name is Karina Gould and I'm running to be the next Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
I believe the Liberal Party is about more than just its leader. It’s about the unrelenting hope, optimism, and grit that defines us as Canadians. It's about knowing that you can achieve your dreams, no matter your background.
I'm a middle-class kid from Burlington, Ontario. My mom ran a veterinary practice and my dad fought for our farmers. They taught me about hard work, passion, and tenacity. And they taught me to fight for the things I believe in. Canada needs to work for all families.
I want you to have an affordable home, access to healthcare, good jobs, clean air and water, and confidence that you and your family are safe and secure. We need to take care of the most vulnerable and ensure our social safety net remains intact, while we grow our economy in a way that allows Canadians to prosper.
I am part of a generational shift in Canada and our Liberal Party needs to embrace this shift too. As a mom and a Millennial, I am determined to rebuild the party and reconnect with Canadians. It is time for us to earn the trust of Canadians once again. I am grateful for the opportunities that Canada has provided me, and I'm committed to providing you the opportunities you need to get ahead in this great country.
I'm ready to stand up for Canada, our economy, our jobs, and our values. I know that the Liberal Party needs a leader who will unite the country and protect your future.
I'm here for Canada and for you today, tomorrow and for years to come.
So join me in being that change.
