🚨Today, the Government announced an investment of over $660 million to advance equality and safety for women and 2SLGBTQI+ communities. We applaud the Minister of Finance for delivering on the support women need to rise.

My political allegiance is no secret but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep advocating for what I’ve dedicated my entire career to: gender equality. Read my latest op-Ed in @mtlgazette: montrealgazette.com/opinion/…

Gender equality should not be an afterthought, it's the backbone of a strong economy.
The federal government's newly-announced cabinet eliminated the Minister for Women and Gender Equality, signalling a troubling shift in priorities.

Joint statement by over 130 women’s organizations across the country on @MarkJCarney disappointing decision today: criaw-icref.ca/statements/jo…
Incredibly disappointing to see that @MarkJCarney didn’t replace @MarciIen as Minister of Gender Equality.
Focusing on gender equality is not just part of the solution as we navigate a difficult economic landscape, it is essential to Canada’s prosperity.
Here is cabinet! #cdnpoli

I’ve noticed recently that too many @TheHillTimes articles only quote experts that are men. @InformedOps has so many incredible women experts— take a look. And do better! hilltimes.com/story/2025/01/…

Hey folks. It's possible to disagree with someone & even to have been treated unfairly by them, yet respond to them with grace, respect & human dignity. We need more civility, less hatred. More forbearance, less bitterness. Let's be a nation where people are kind to one another.
It's an emotional day. Anyone who served Canada as head of government deserves thanks & respect. So, thanks @justintrudeau for your service. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to serve in the 42nd parliament. I'm proud of many things we accomplished in those days. Wish you well.
Politics aside, sending virtual hugs and positive energy to all the staffers who probably found out about Freeland at the same time we all did and who now have probably very little direction or support. Remember: this is temporary and you’ll be OK ❤️
We at @CA_prosperity look forward to examining this new Bill and working with all parties at all levels of government to make sure families have access to affordable quality childcare. Going back to a direct payment model, however, is not the solution.

I couldn’t agree more @AnaPoilievre “ That is why…the world needs more women in leadership roles because they bring “something different to the table, different views.” @CA_prosperity is here if you want to learn about our initiatives.

"Among the recommendations in the report to create thousands of more daycare spaces across Canada are calls to extend parental leave and drop the age of eligibility for kindergarten from five years old to four."
