what did she know 👀

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus. In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands. Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy. She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines. I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

How can we fight structural hate? 🗣️ Our Ambassador @lavaukwalam sees hate for what it really is: destructive, divisive, and deeply rooted in long-standing systems of exclusion and oppression. In the final part of our #OYW25 Louder Than Hate series, we hear the devastating impact of structural hate on Indigenous communities across the world. Lavau is taking action. Through Archive Ples 📜, he supports young Indigenous people in preserving their histories — proving that identity, memory, and community are acts of resistance. This is where we leave the series, but not the story. Dialogue is a bridge to understanding and a starting point for real change. 🌍💙 So let’s get talking. How are you being louder than hate? 💬 #OneYoungWorld #OYW #Indigenous #AntiHate #Connection #YoungLeader
