House leader Karina Gould launched her bid to be the next leader of the Liberal party with a number of videos posted to social media on Saturday. In her announcement, Gould acknowledged the need for the Liberals to earn back the trust of Canadians.The experienced hand who can fix the economy. The tough negotiator who can take on a Donald Trump White House. The millennial long-hauler who can rebuild the party.
Her video came fast on the heels of one that Freeland’s camp released, where the former finance minister bills herself as the best person to lead Canada’s fight against incoming U.S. president Trump, saying she’s taken him on before — and won.
They have also all backed Trudeau’s controversial carbon pricing regime — at least until recently. And the Opposition Conservatives will make sure Canadians know this well, and have already launched ads. Gould, a member of Trudeau’s cabinet, has a track record of going toe to toe with Poilievre. She did not mention him or Trump by name, but said in her video the party needs someone who can “stand up to bullies” and “won’t back down.”Freeland is planning her full campaign launch on Sunday in Toronto, while Gould is officially launching her bid the same day in Burlington, Ont.
Candidates must quickly raise and then pony up a total of $350,000 to join the race, although the party has come up with an instalment plan to manage covering such a steep entry price tag in a short time frame.
