Wonderful time speaking with the folks at Columbus Villa!

We had conversations about priorities for Elmwood Transcona such as making sure the NDP dental care plan stays available to those who need it, and ensuring affordability needs are met by cutting the GST off essential items such as groceries

I had the privilege of meeting with UNIFOR, Canada’s largest private-sector union, to discuss the urgent issues facing workers across our country. From fair wages and job security to fighting corporate greed, workers deserve a government that stands up for themβ€”not just in words, but in action.

I recognize the incredible dedication of transit operators and workers who keep our communities moving. From early mornings to late nights, they ensure we get where we need to go safely and reliably.

Thank you to all transit workers for your hard work and commitment!
