We are Canadians who live, work and play across the nation. We are a diverse group representing various ethnic backgrounds — from Ukrainians, Hong Kongers, Poles, to Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians and others. We understand Canada faces a crisis that threatens our sovereignty, independence and future. We firmly believe Chrystia Freeland is the best candidate to lead and defend Canada during this era of geopolitical upheaval. Her competence, capabilities and courage to stand up for Canada and global democracy when it matters differentiates her from any other candidate. Chrystia defends democracy and defies tyranny. Her Canadian values inform her vision of the world that people should be free from foreign authoritarianism and interference. She’s done it once, and she’ll do it again, and again, and again.
