Liberal Party
Party Leader: Justin Trudeau
Let’s put Canadians’ health and safety first. Let’s build more homes for the middle class and put a stop to profiteering and unfair speculation. Let’s support women and families and give every child the best possible start with $10 a day child care. Let’s fight climate change and leave a safe and healthy environment for our children and grandchildren. Let’s keep moving forward on real reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Let’s come together to fight systemic racism. Let’s find the real solutions to the real problems we face. Let’s build a better future that gives everyone a real and fair chance at success. We can’t afford to move backward. Not in the fight against COVID-19 or the climate crisis. Not on health care or child care. Not for seniors, workers, or families. This is our moment to decide where our country goes from here. This is our time to choose. And this platform is our path ahead for generations to come. Forward or backward. This is our choice. We believe in moving forward. For everyone.
