On Friday, our government announced a wide-ranging package that will defend Canada and Canadians as we all do the hard, difficult work to deal with tariffs and re-orient our economy. Workforce supports; investments and loans for businesses; a robust Buy Canadian policy – it’s all here
It's going to take a lot of work to re-orient our economy now that the United States is not the reliable trading partner we used to depend on. We have to connect with each other, and with trading partners around the world.
As @mark-carney.bsky.social says, we can give ourselves more than any foreign government can take away -- if we work hard together to build One Canadian Economy together. That will create more good jobs, and funds the the social safety net we rely on. That work is more important than ever
My statement on Canada-U.S. trade:
The war in Gaza must end now. On Monday our government put out a strong statement with 25 other partners, which you can read at www.canada.ca/en/global-af.... And for my perspective and what I'm doing, see my new post here: medium.com/@kbardeesy_3...

We're all in this together. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Honoured to be named by @mark-carney.bsky.social as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, @melaniejolycan.bsky.social. With Carlos Leitão, I'm ready to help build Canada's economy to be more growth-oriented, innovative, diversified, resilient, sustainable: the strongest in the G7
In the last few weeks, I've had one-on-one conversations with fellow elected officials in Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High Park: Councillor Gord Perks, MPP Alexa Gilmour and TDSB Trustee Debbie King. And I joined Toronto caucus members in meeting with Mayor Olivia Chow. We go farther when we go together!
This is strong leadership -- and will build the coast-to-coast economy that people in Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High Park told me was so important when our sovereignty is under threat. Check out the full statement to see everything the First Ministers agreed to www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Delivering a middle-class tax cut - Canada.ca
The government is moving forward with the proposal to deliver tax relief for Canadians by reducing the lowest marginal personal income tax rate from 15 per cent to 14 per cent, effective July 1, 2025.

A very strong Speech from the Throne, presented by the King himself. Canada's sovereignty, and our distinct constitutional heritage, were on full display today. It was an honour, on behalf of the residents of Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park, to witness this historic event.
The cost of living is too high, and the federal government has a role to play. We're delivering on our campaign commitment and offering real relief with an income tax cut that (if passed) will mean bigger pay cheques starting July. Learn more at www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

Canada has a new government. No matter how you voted, we are in your service. Together, we will build a stronger, more united Canada.
t's been a privilege leading the founding and growth of @daistmu.bsky.social, building a national public policy and leadership institute since arriving at the university in 2017. I know its work will make a positive impact on Canada in the years to come.
After 8 transformative years at @torontomet.bsky.social our founding Executive Director, @kbardeesy.bsky.social is heading to Parliament as the newly elected MP for Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park. His vision and leadership helped shape the Dais into a national force for bold ideas and better leaders.
This election will be tight. The threat to our sovereignty—and Poilievre's Trump-style politics—is very real. We can choose to have a voice at the table. A strong, local, and experienced voice, that is part of a strong national government. My promise to you: to keep your trust if earned. 🇨🇦
Being a teacher is a great privilege. Watching each student make their mark on the world has been inspiring — they should be incredibly proud of all they've achieved. My students give me hope—and we need to join them in uniting, protecting, and building Canada. 🇨🇦
Trop de choses sont en jeu dans cette élection. Choisissez un leadership fort et expérimenté pour unir, protéger et bâtir le Canada. 🇨🇦 #UnCanadaFort
Every. Seat. Matters. There is too much at stake & we can’t take anything for granted. On April 28, choose the representative who will be your voice in a strong Liberal government. Someone who can bring real change and progress to Taiaiako’n—Parkdale—High Park. 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong
Together, we can send a clear message on Monday: that Trump-style politics have no place in Canada. We stand by our Charter — and we will never throw it away to chase fear and division. #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦
What I’m offering is a strong local option with real government experience and a progressive record. On Monday, let’s send a clear message: Trump-style politics is not welcome in our community and across Canada. 🇨🇦
When Canada is under threat, backing down isn’t an option. Proud to be standing with Mark Carney and a renewed Liberal Party of Canada team to unite our country, protect our values, and build a stronger future. 🇨🇦 Join us: votekarim.ca #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli
Pope Francis’ voice & leadership will never be extinguished. His voice for dignity, justice, compassion, and for the forgotten, will continue to ring—for Roman Catholics & for people of all faiths. I am especially moved by Fratelli tutti, the Pope's reflection on human solidarity.
Unite, secure, protect, and build. 🇨🇦 Let’s get to work. Liberal.ca/platform
Canada is the best country in the world — and we won’t be pushed around. It’s time to build one strong, united Canadian economy where Canadians work anywhere, goods move freely & we lift each other up. Unite, secure, protect, and build—it’s what we do. 🇨🇦 liberal.ca/platform/
