When I was a kid, I started following politics, glued to the TV set watching Pierre Trudeau sparring with Quebec separatist Premier Rene Levesque on the one hand and the Conservatives on the other as his government brought our Constitution home and created our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is what inspired me to become a Liberal. I was a child of Dutch immigrants and I was excited about a Prime Minister who fought against nationalism in Quebec and for a Canada that was more independent of Britain, so that people who were neither English nor French would be considered just as Canadian as everyone else. I heard from my parents and in school about what a much more dangerous nationalism did in Europe. It was the reason why our families immigrated after World War II. And I saw Conservatives against all of this, fighting against the Charter and nit-picking against this patriation, just like they were originally against our own Canadian flag. So I am really happy to celebrate today as the 44th anniversary of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Cheers to Pierre Trudeau!

I spoke with CBC News Network’s Aarti Pole today about Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux crossing the floor to join the federal Liberal caucus today. I pointed out that Conservatives must be frustrated with their current direction, including: - the fact that the party received no bounce from their recent national Convention where they confirmed Pierre Poilievre’s leadership, and - the lack of consequences for Jamil Jivani’s freelancing, using Donald Trump and JD Vance’s talking points against Canadians at a very critical time. I also pointed out that there is a home for moderate Conservatives in a Mark Carney government.
