For now, I’m going to treasure the extra time with my family, and hold my kids a little tighter. But no matter what, I will keep fighting - for climate justice, for an end to gender-based violence, and for a politics fiercely rooted in love, empathy, and care. Thank you! (7/7)

This wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, but the values that ground us - justice, compassion, courage, and care - are bigger than any one campaign. And I know that the movement we’ve built here in Victoria will continue to grow. (6/7)

Many people on the door shared they wanted to vote NDP but felt too scared - of Trump and of Poilievre - and so many people said “it’s just this one time.” (5/7)

I’m so proud of what we accomplished together - dentalcare, pharmacare, investments in childcare, eliminating international fossil fuel subsidies, changing the criminal code to better support survivors, and so much more. (4/7)

And to the hundreds of volunteers, staff, and supporters who poured your hearts into this campaign: I hope you feel as proud of yourselves as I am of you. Every door knocked, every conversation, every early morning and late night - it was all worth it. (3/7)

Poilievre met with residential school deniers and refused to apologize. He refuses to drop his candidate Aaron Gunn, who made horrific comments about residential schools and supports Putin’s attacks on queer rights. When Conservatives show you who they are - believe them.
