Samantha’s Platform

Canada’s healthcare system is a source of national pride, but it has gaps that leave many behind. Samantha is dedicated to strengthening and expanding universal healthcare by making services like dental care, mental health counseling, and vision coverage accessible to all. These aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities for a thriving society.

Her plan also addresses healthcare wait times by investing in more frontline workers, improving infrastructure, and reducing barriers for internationally trained healthcare professionals to practice in Canada. By ensuring everyone gets the care they need when they need it, Samantha envisions a healthier, more equitable future.

The climate crisis demands bold action, and Samantha is ready to lead the charge. Her platform includes transitioning Canada to 100% renewable energy by 2040, enhancing public transit systems, and incentivizing sustainable energy adoption in homes and businesses.

Recognizing the impact of these changes on workers in traditional industries, Samantha proposes a robust just transition program. This includes skills training, income support, and new opportunities in clean energy sectors. With her leadership, Canada can become a global leader in sustainability while leaving no worker or community behind.

Skyrocketing housing costs are pushing families to the brink. Samantha’s plan includes a bold commitment to build 500,000 affordable housing units within the next decade, ensuring every Canadian has a safe place to call home.

She also aims to regulate short-term rental platforms and implement rent control measures to protect tenants from predatory increases. By working with provincial and municipal governments, Samantha will address the root causes of the crisis while prioritizing the needs of everyday Canadians over corporate profits.

Education is the foundation of a thriving society. Samantha’s plan includes universal childcare to support working families and give every child a strong start in life. She also aims to eliminate interest on federal student loans and work toward making post-secondary education tuition-free.

Investing in education benefits everyone, not just students. It builds a more skilled workforce, drives innovation, and strengthens our communities. Samantha is committed to making these investments now to ensure prosperity for future generations.

Too many Canadians are working full-time yet struggling to make ends meet. Samantha’s plan includes raising the federal minimum wage to $20 an hour and ensuring it keeps pace with inflation.

She also supports stronger protections for gig and part-time workers, including access to benefits and paid sick leave. Samantha believes in empowering unions and fostering workplace democracy, ensuring every worker has a voice at the table.

Discrimination and inequality hold our society back. Samantha is committed to addressing systemic racism, implementing a national action plan to combat hate crimes, and enhancing anti-discrimination training in workplaces and schools.

Her platform also includes targeted support for marginalized communities, such as funding for Indigenous-led programs and expanding gender equity initiatives. With Samantha’s leadership, Canada can move closer to being a truly inclusive nation.

From public transit to libraries, Samantha recognizes the critical role public services play in everyday life. Her plan includes increased funding for municipalities to upgrade transit infrastructure, expand service coverage, and make systems more accessible.

She also aims to modernize public institutions, ensuring they remain accessible and adaptable to future challenges. Strong public services empower individuals and strengthen communities—values Samantha is committed to championing.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process that requires genuine commitment. Samantha’s platform includes fully implementing the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and providing stable, long-term funding for Indigenous-led health, education, and housing initiatives.

She also supports legislation to affirm Indigenous land rights and sovereignty, ensuring that First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples have a say in decisions affecting their lands and communities. Samantha believes reconciliation is key to building a better, more just Canada.
