Great to take in the last perogy supper of the season with friends and neighbours tonight. I especially appreciated the sign for this week! No doubt, we need to be kinder, with a side of perogies to go along with the sentiment.
Growing up, I was fortunate to have Art Miki as my neighbour. In 1988, Art lobbied PM Mulroney to have Canada officially apologize for the internment of Japanese-Canadians during WWII. With Asian Heritage Month approaching, let us remember Art’s lasting contribution to Canada.
The April Pet of the Month is Banner! Wpg South Centre is home to thousands of pets who bring joy to our lives. To celebrate our companions, each month my office will feature one of these pets. If you would like your pet to be featured, send us a dm.
I had a great visit with the South Wpg Seniors Resource Centre today, a non-profit that connects older adults with community resources that assist them with daily living. We are proud to support them with federal programs that enhance the lives of people in Wpg South Centre.
Today I had the pleasure of touring DASCH, an organization that actively fosters inclusivity. They provide a variety of programs to fulfill the needs of people living with intellectual disabilities so that they can live to their full potential.
Last week in an op-ed, I wrote about a concerning decline in our collective ability to have respectful dialogue while ensuring the credibility of our news sources are upheld as a critical principle informing critical thought. Link to read the full piece:nationalnewswatch.com/2024/04/17/the…
Great afternoon spent with students from Vincent Massey Collegiate! Their passion and curiosity is admirable. I truly value the opportunity to connect with young people in our riding.
Weekly recap: ✅Met with Sunshine House, MB’s only safe consumption site. ✅Met with Mayor @ScottGillingham regarding shared priorities for the city. ✅Alongside @YaaraSaks, attended a research funding announcement at @umanitoba. Visit my IG/FB page to view the full recap.
Great morning with the Wpg South Centre Older Adults Council. This council creates the opportunity for older adults to provide feedback on policy and programs that are of importance to them. It also allows for direct input regarding issues and concerns of older adults.
Passover is a special time for the Jewish community to gather around the table and remember the past, show gratitude for our family and friends, and share hope for the future. Wishing all Jews across Canada a Happy Passover and peaceful Passover.
I’m here with @YaaraSaks, to share key takeaways from the budget that matter to constituents: ✅$500M youth mental health fund that goes directly to community organizations. ✅Combatting the opioid crisis by investing in frontline workers, such as Sunshine House in Winnipeg.
I’m here with @PattyHajdu to share key takeaways from the budget that matter to constituents: $9.5B allocated to funding things that truly matter to Indigenous communities such as: ✅Boosting the capacity of schools. ✅Investing in new schools. ✅Housing.
I’m here with @cafreeland to share key take aways from the budget that matter to constituents: ✅$2.5B in carbon rebates for small businesses. ✅$5B Indigenous loan guarantee program. ✅Dental care program for 9M Canadians. ✅Free diabetes medication and contraception.
As we see a rise of extremism, a diminished quality of public dialogue, and attacks on journalists that discredit them as “radical” - including from Pierre Pollievre - I am sharing my perspective on the importance of critical thought in a dangerous time. nationalnewswatch.com/2024/04/17/the…
It was great to spend time with my friend the National Chief today. We are continuing our investments in Indigenous communities and youth in particular. Over the next few days I will be highlighting the many ways in which our budget supports the residents of Wpg South Centre.
Budget 2024: Fairness for Every Generation — is a plan to build more homes, faster, make life cost less, and create more good jobs and economic growth shared by all. Because every generation deserve a fair chance at success.
Pricing pollution is the most effective and cost-efficient way to fight climate change. 🌎 Starting today, 8/10 Canadians who filed their taxes early will get more money back via Canada Carbon Rebates than they paid. 🌱 Putting a price on pollution works. 🤝
The realities of climate change confront us in new and undeniable ways. All current government policies will prevent the equivalent of Quebec and Ontario’s emissions combined by 2030, while ensuring that 8/10 Canadians receive rebates to offset additional costs.

Families don't always agree on everything, but we always listen to one another with respect & kindness. Jewish, Muslim and Arab Liberal MPs met today to reaffirm our commitment to being there for one another in the most difficult times, just as families do.
Today Liberal members from the Jewish, Muslim & Arab communities came together to dialogue. While we may not always agree on events in the Middle East, we do agree that all communities must and deserve to feel safe in Canada. We will work together, for all of us.
@BenCarrwpg @KSP_Libs They are special.
It was an honour to attend the Manitoba Metis Federation General Assembly today with colleagues.
The glorification of violence is never acceptable in Canada – by any group or in any situation. It’s that simple. I too strongly condemn the demonstrations that have taken place, and are taking place, across the country in support of Hamas’ attacks on Israel.

Tonight at the vigil in Montreal organized by @FederationCJA
Our Liberal Jewish caucus colleagues have been working non-stop to support our communities across Canada in all ways possible. Here is the joint statement put out today.
Tonight, joined by my friends & colleague @RachelBendayan & @AlexandraBrStL I had the honour of speaking to a packed room of Montrealers at a vigil organized by @FederationCJA & @CIJAQC. I made clear that we stand completely & entirely with Israel in its war with terrorists.
This is a day for complete moral clarity. There is no justification whatsoever for a terrorist organization launching a war to kill and injure Israeli civilians on a Jewish holiday. I am shocked by those equivocating or trying to justify this. I stand with Israel. Period.
@BenCarrwpg Thank you @BenCarrwpg for unequivocally condemning #Hamas war crimes & for standing in solidarity with the people of #Israel. #cdnpoli #IsraelUnderAttack
Thank you to to all MPs and Senators for taking time to meet with us including: ➡️MP Ben Carr @BenCarrwpg ➡️MP Bonita Zarrillo @BonitaZarrillo ➡️MP Kevin Waugh @KevinWaugh_CPC ➡️MP Larry Brock @LarryBrockMP ➡️MP Majid Jowhari @MajidJowhari ➡️MP Mike Lake @MikeLakeMP . . 1/2
1/2: It was great to meet with representatives from the Canadian School Boards Association, including Alan and Sandy from Manitoba. We had a great conversation about areas in which the federal government can work with provinces to advance the well-being of kids across the country
1/2: The situation surrounding the Prairie Green Landfill is heart-wrenching, and is part of the sad reality of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Advancing meaningful reconciliation in Canada requires all levels of government to be willing partners.
On this National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls 2S, and gender-diverse peoples, we're sharing an example of what it means to take action in a personal way.
Congratulations to @WabKinew on making history as becoming the only First Nations Premier in Canada's history. I hope that your success inspires a future generation of Indigenous youth to get involved in politics both in Manitoba and across Canada.
Sukkot is a joyous holiday in the Jewish faith where families and communities come together to share meals, sing songs, and express gratitude for the harvest’s blessings. It is a time when we join as a community, to celebrate unity. Right now, we need that more than ever.
Had a productive meeting in Winnipeg today with SCO Grand Chief Jerry Daniels to discuss ways in which we can build on our partnership together.
