BY-ELECTION DAY IS AUGUST 31

Hello neighbours, 

I am proud and honoured to be your NDP candidate in the upcoming federal by-election in Beaches–East York.

Like you, I have been deeply concerned about the federal government dropping its commitment to fighting climate change and gutting environmental protections – especially this summer when our air is unsafe to breathe and thousands of Canadians are losing their homes and livelihoods to unrelenting forest fires. 

In 2025, many progressive Canadians cast their vote for the Liberal candidates out of fear of electing a Conservative government and very real anxiety over the trade war with the United States. 

It turns out the Mark Carney government is more conservative than many actual Conservative governments, leaving many feeling betrayed while the cost of living soars.

Beaches–East York deserves an MP who believes things can and should be better.

If I have the honour of representing you in Parliament, I commit to:

  • Freely speaking out on federal decisions that impact Beaches–East York and Toronto. As an NDP candidate I can’t (and won’t) be silenced by a top-down Carney government

  • Ensuring the Liberals keep their word on Billy Bishop Airport, instead of making more backroom deals with Doug Ford

  • Firmly opposing new pipeline projects

  • Advocating for the return of climate and environmental protections

  • Fighting hard for the things our community needs

    • Affordable rent and housing

    • Bringing down costs on groceries and other essentials

    • More good jobs

    • Pharmacare and dental care for those who need it

    • Affordable child care

  • Taking my direction from you. For you.

If you still have questions or you’re not sure how you’re going to vote on August 31, let’s talk! Here’s how to reach me directly.

If we work together, I know we can win this.
