When everyone thrives, Canada grows stronger.
 
Budget 2025 delivers over $660 million to advance gender equality, support 2SLGBTQI+ communities, and fight against gender-based violence.
 
Today’s announcement is really exciting for Victoria, BC, and the whole country.

Let’s be real: the goal here is to sell merch and harvest emails, not inspire civic duty.

As the sun sets this evening, I wish all Jewish communities in Victoria, across Canada, and around the world a safe, solemn, and reflective Yom Kippur.

May this Day of Atonement bring fellowship, renewal, and optimism for the year ahead to all who celebrate.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it’s always a pleasure to join thousands of people from across our community for the 4th Annual South Island Powwow.

Today, we remember the past, reflect on the present, and commit to building a better future for all.

Tonight, I join Jewish communities in B.C., across Canada, and around the world in welcoming Rosh Hashanah. Chag Sameach and may the New Year bring reflection, renewal, and hope.

PM Carney telling the truth isn’t embarrassing. Conservatives pretending Ottawa runs BC Ferries is. They know better — but hope Canadians don’t.

BC Ferries runs its own business. The PM’s job isn’t to indulge Conservative conspiracies. Leadership requires facts, not fiction.

The second Meet the MP event is on Thursday, August 28 from 5-7 pm at the Windsor Pavilion in Oak Bay.

We look forward to seeing and speaking with constituents at both events. See you there!

Hi Victoria, we are holding two events this week where you can hear about my first few months in the House of Commons and share what’s on your mind as Parliament gets set to resume next month.

The first event is tonight at the Cook Street Village Activity Centre, 5-7 pm.

Yesterday, I joined community members for an interfaith workshop on combating antisemitism at Congregation Emanu-El, the oldest surviving synagogue in Canada. Thank you to the Jewish Federation of Victoria and Vancouver Island and the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Canada for this important event.

Parliament may not be sitting, but it’s still a busy season for MPs! A highlight has been opportunities to discuss regional priorities with other B.C. Liberal MPs. One of them - MP @zoeroyer.bsky.social - was the first visitor to meet the team at our new community office!

Today is #EmancipationDay.

On August 1, 1834, slavery was abolished across the British Empire, including Canada.

We honour the strength of Black Canadians and recommit to fighting anti-Black racism and building a Canada where freedom, justice, and equality are more than words.

I had a great time today attending the Cultural & Arts Festival at the Victoria Hindu Parishad, the heart of a thriving multigenerational community.

Thanks to Rishi and the Sharma family for the invitation. The chat with JEDI Minister @dianagibson.bsky.social was an extra bonus.

It's an honour to be sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Victoria. What a thrill to have family and friends join me for the ceremony on Parliament Hill, and I am so excited to represent our incredible community in the Parliament of our extraordinary country.

Today - the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia - we stand in community with queer people everywhere, and commit to a world where all are safe, respected, and valued. Canada has been a global leader for LGBTQ2+ rights and we mean to keep it that way.

Finally, I am excited for all the Liberals elected across Canada last night, and thank everyone who put themself forward in service of our democracy.

That includes PM @mark-carney.bsky.social, who offered to serve when Canada needed him. Looking forward to getting to work, boss! 7/7

I also wish to thank the other candidates who ran in Victoria, especially Laurel Collins. As MP, @laurelcollins.bsky.social championed important initiatives on climate change and intimate partner violence. We share many values and I commit to continuing that work in Parliament. 6/

My family and friends have been endlessly supportive, and formed me along the way. I cannot express how much their love has meant to me. I wish my late mom, Sherry, my grandparents, Wilf and Peggy, and my Abuela Maria were here to see it, but I know they would be proud. 5/

I am also sincerely grateful to my campaign manager, Naomi Devine, for her hard work, leadership, and friendship. @naomidevine.bsky.social is the best strategist on Vancouver Island and we couldn’t have done this without her.

(Naomi’s also a great photographer: photo credit to her) 4/
