Looking out for our neighbours is in our very nature as Canadians. This past weekend, #VanGran's Jewish and Muslim communities came together to bring food to the folks living in the Downtown Eastside, doing their part to help make life a little easier for others.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Let's take a moment to celebrate the rich traditions and contributions of Irish Canadians who have helped shape our country. However you’re celebrating, may your day be filled with luck, laughter, and a little extra green!

Happy #Purim! From tonight to tomorrow, Jewish communities in #VanGran celebrate resilience and the triumph of hope over adversity. May this time bring happiness and light, and may we all embrace the spirit of community. Chag Purim Sameach!

Proud to be at the 2025 #LiberalLeadershipRace supporting Mark Carney!

Thank you, Prime Minister, for giving Canada the best of you. Merci, Monsieur le Premier ministre, d’avoir donné au Canada le meilleur de vous-même.

Wonderful to mark #InternationalWomensDay with the amazing women at South Granville Seniors' Centre. Today we celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women in our communities & around the world, and commit to ensuring every woman is empowered to thrive and succeed.

Investments in affordable #housing are investments in the well-being of Canadians. I'm proud to announce $15.2 million in federal funding to build 36 new affordable rental homes including larger units for families right here in #VanGran. That's how we're working for you.

Support for Holocaust remembrance and education is an important tool in the fight against antisemitism and all forms of hate. By learning about the horrors of the past, we can ensure that we build a better future for our kids where we all feel safe.

On March 5th, we celebrate #AshWednesday, and mark the beginning of the Season of #Lent. Today is about taking time to reflect on our actions, seek growth, and move forward with purpose. May this season bring renewal, compassion, and deeper understanding in our lives.

Canada's public broadcaster is in danger. The CBC is a service that Canadians from coast to coast to coast rely on to stay connected, informed, & entertained. It is the voice of Canada, both at home & abroad. Visit defendthecbc.ca to join me in the fight to #DefendtheCBC!

In conversations across VanGran, one thing is clear: Canadians are looking for leadership that is clear-eyed & capable, dedicated to our prosperity & our sovereignty. That’s why I’m proud to support Mark Carney as our next PM & Liberal leader. Join me & make your voice heard at vote.liberal.ca

As Parliamentary Secretary to Min. Leblanc responsible for the Can-US file, I'll be standing up & fighting for Canadians, our values, workers, and industry, from coast to coast to coast. 🇨🇦 will always be a good ally - but we won't compromise who we are.

Tonight at sunset, Muslims in #VanGran and around the world mark the beginning of the holy month of #Ramadan – a time of reflection, charity and fasting for us. From my family to yours, Ramadan Mubarak, Ramadan Kareem.

UBC's Chan Centre for the Performing Arts is critical venue offering offering artists & audiences a high-quality experience with the arts. That's why we're investing $300,000 to help support our talented students & the next generation of creators.

Happy Family Day #VanGran! Whether it's the family you're born into or the one you choose, today is reminder to celebrate the bonds that bring us together, and cherish those who lift us up, support us, and make us feel at come. From my family to yours, Happy Family Day!

Our Flag. The symbol of our true north, strong and free. Our beacon of hope. Proud to fly our maple leaf, today and every day 🇨🇦

Every year, kids in #VanGran and across Canada participate in #ValentinesForVets, and put together cards showing their love and appreciation for our veterans. To all of our veterans, and to everyone in Van Gran, Happy Valentine's Day!

The Maple Leaf is a symbol of our independence, our values and our hopes for the future. On Saturday, it's Flag Day and the 60th anniversary of our National Flag. If you're interested in flying our flag, come pick one up at our office this week!

On Canada Agriculture Day, Canadians from coast to coast to coast come together to celebrate our food system & recognize the resilience, innovation, and dedication of the people who ensure Canadians continue to have access to high-quality food. #ShopLocal #ShopCanadian #CdnAgDay

Today we mourn the loss of our beloved Hazar Imam, His Highness the Aga Khan, whose legacy and whose guidance has transformed the life of every Ismaili Muslim and so many others around the world. My statement below.

Pierre was in a VanGran Synagogue this weekend. Yet he refused to explain why he & his party voted against: 1. Safety measures for Jewish Spaces 2. Revitalizing the JCC 3. Holocaust education 4. Anti-Hate laws Slogans don't make communities safer. Actions do.

Every year, East Asian communities from across #Vancouver celebrate the #LunarNewYear at the Chinatown Spring Festival Parade. It was so amazing seeing so many people come out and celebrate together – even in the snow!

Americans are about to learn some economics.

Perhaps this would be a good time for Conservatives to join the rest of us in defending the CBC - and maybe it's time to pull support for US-owned Trump aligned PostMedia and their anti-Canadian rhetoric. Join me and defendthecbc.ca

So proud to be Canadian, as always. And proud of @JustinTrudeau. Let's come together and support Canadian businesses, manufacturing and retailers. We can do this. 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

February is Black History Month. Viola Desmond, Lincoln Alexander, and Rosemary Brown are just a few of the long legacy of Black Canadians who have made incredible contributions to their communities and to Canada, creating the country we know and love today.

Today I was honoured to welcome the new Consul General for the Philippines in Vancouver, Dr. Gina Jamoralin. With over 170,000 Filipino Canadians calling BC home, our communities share ties of friendship & collaboration – I look forward to further strengthening our connections!

One of the best parts about my job is making sure communities and organizations across #VanGran receive critical funding so they can thrive. Here's some of what we've delivered so far: www.instagram.com/reel/DFd0lwz...

The Bank of Canada just announced its 6th consecutive interest rate cut - now down to to 3%. This is great news of you're a business owner, renewing a mortgage or buying a first home. Our plan is working.

Today is the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action against #Islamophobia. We honour the memory of all those killed simply because they were Muslim and we reaffirm our commitment to fighting Islamophobia and all forms of religious hate.

Today, in #VanGran & across Canada, East Asian communities celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Snake. May this year bring you and your loved ones good health, happiness, and success. To everyone celebrating in Van Gran and across Canada, Happy #LunarNewYear!

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the memories of 6 million Jews murdered & all victims of Nazi atrocities. Their memories remind us the importance of fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate. Zichrono Livracha. May their memory be for a blessing.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Access to quality education is fundamental to success. #InternationalDayofEducation

The Liberals have Chrystia Freeland & Mark Carney as the two frontrunners to lead the Party - and Canada. Two of the most accomplished Canadians to ever seek that office. The Cons have Pierre, who's been living off the public purse & misleading Canadians for more than 20 years.

The Summer Leadership Program is an incredible opportunity for Canadian youth to enter the world of federal politics and give back to their communities and their country. Interested? Sign up now at the link in my bio!

A vibrant arts and culture sector builds economic strength, national identity, and social cohesion. No one should take it for granted. That was my message in Calgary and Winnipeg when I announced support for important cultural spaces.

Lohri is a time to celebrate the end of winter, the promise of longer days, and the beginning of the harvest season. It's a joyful occasion for family, friends, and community to come together. Wishing everyone in #VanGran and across Canada a very #HappyLohri!

The CBC is a vital part of Canadian culture and day-to-day life for Canadians from coast to coast to coast. @madamepremier.bsky.social and I had a great conversation about the importance of the CBC, and the need to keep improving it. Learn more at DefendtheCBC.ca

Today, @sarahelder and I had a great conversation today about the importance of the CBC, the need to improve it - and why the Conservative urge to defund it is bad for Canada. Tap here to listen to our conversation: open.spotify.com/episode/7l64...

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives have long been pushing to defund and dismantle the CBC. Today at 9am PST, @madamepremier.bsky.social and I are discussing the importance of the CBC and how you can help us fight to defend them. Visit DefendtheCBC.ca to learn more

It's simple. Loyal Canadians will always defend our independence, unconditionally. If you're 'Canadian' wearing a MAGA hat & keen to give up our sovereignty you're a traitor. Canada is home. It's worth defending. Every last inch. And we're never, going to surrender. 1812. 🇨🇦

Thank you for always putting Canada first, Prime Minister. 🇨🇦 ♥️ 🇨🇦 Merci d’avoir toujours donné la priorité au Canada, Monsieur le Premier Ministre.

Happy #Hanukkah! This Festival of Lights reminds us of the power of resilience, faith, and the triumph of hope over adversity. As families in #VanGran and beyond come together, I hope that the lighting of the Hanukkiah this year brings peace, hope, and light to all.
