Tax fairness
Promesses de Green
"Increase the corporate tax rate from 14% to 21% for businesses with profits over $100 million ($44 billion in revenue)." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Introduce a permanent Windfall Tax (Excess Profit Tax) on large corporations, including banks, grocery chains and fossil fuel companies, to prevent profiteering at the expense of Canadians. This tax will apply at a rate of 15% on profits exceeding 120% of a company’s average profits over the previous four years, ensuring that large corporations contribute fairly when they generate excessive gains." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Implement a 0.35% Financial Transactions Tax (Tobin Tax) on trades involving stocks, bonds, derivatives, and currencies. This measure will help curb speculative trading practices that destabilize markets and generate significant revenue for social, economic, and environmental programs."
"Implement a progressive wealth tax on net wealth above $10 million. The tax would apply at a rate of 1% on net wealth over $10 million, 2% on net wealth over $50 million, and 3% on net wealth over $100 million. This policy would impact only .5% of Canadian households." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Strengthen Canada’s exit tax to prevent the ultra-wealthy from avoiding taxes by moving assets abroad. We will apply a net wealth-based exit tax of 35% on assets over $10 million for individuals renouncing Canadian tax residency, ensuring those who have benefited the most from Canada’s economy must contribute significantly before leaving. Loopholes that allow tax avoidance through corporate structures and exempt assets will also be closed." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Ensure fair taxation of extreme capital gains by applying a progressive tax only to profits over $10 million. To prevent wealthy investors from avoiding taxes indefinitely, we will also limit the ability to deduct past investment losses to a maximum of 10 years." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Revise Canada’s Select Luxury Items Tax Act to eliminate the “lesser of” rule and apply a flat luxury tax rate (e.g., 10% or higher on the full purchase price).
» Increase the tax rates for extreme wealth purchases (e.g., higher rates for private jets and superyachts.)
» Close corporate loopholes that allow businesses to buy these assets to avoid the Select Luxury Items Tax.
» Exempt Canadian-made commercial and recreational vessels from the Select Luxury Items Tax, to support small manufacturers and coastal industries."
— Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Close stock options and capital gains tax loopholes, which primarily benefit wealthy executives." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"End off shore tax evasion by taxing hidden funds and requiring proof of foreign business operations." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Review and phase out corporate subsidies that fail to deliver proven economic, environmental, or social benefits, with priority given to eliminating subsidies that:
» Distort markets without improving public well-being.
» Contribute to corporate concentration of key industries.
» Benefit large corporations disproportionately over small businesses and workers.
» Are provided to corporations with majority foreign ownership, particularly U.S.-based firms, undermining Canadian economic sovereignty.
» Fail to pass a cost-benefit analysis."
— Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25
"Increase transparency on business subsidies by mandating full public reporting on corporate tax benefits, grants, and loans — including which corporations receive them and their economic impact." — Change: Vote For It, retrieved 2025-04-25

Biographie
I bring deep expertise in international trade and foreign policy, and a proven record of delivering real results for the Nanaimo–Ladysmith community.
In 2019, I made history as the second Green MP ever elected to Parliament. I fought effectively for trade policies that protect Canadian jobs, consumer standards, and the environment. I pushed to improve long-term care, safeguard pensions, and preserve old-growth forests. Collaborating across party lines, I secured better support for people with disabilities, the formal recognition community media, and won unanimous support for protecting British pensioners living in Canada.
I’ve also served as Executive Director of the Nanaimo Unitarian Shelter, providing support for those experiencing homelessness. As a city councillor, I continue to advocate for affordable housing, quality healthcare, and urgent climate action.
Recently, I was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for significant contributions to our community. I’ve stood up for this community before, and during these uncertain times, you can trust I’ll do it again.
Raison de la candidature
I’m running because people in Nanaimo–Ladysmith are feeling squeezed—from housing and rent to groceries and energy bills—and they deserve leadership that’s ready to act. As a former MP and current city councillor, I’ve fought effectively for our community: securing better trade protections, pushing for affordable housing, supporting people with disabilities, and defending old-growth forests.
Now, I’m ready to return to Ottawa with practical, forward-looking solutions. I’ll fight for major federal investment in co-op and non-market housing, tax fairness that lifts the burden off working Canadians, and strong trade policies that protect local jobs and supply chains—especially in the face of U.S. tariffs and Donald Trump’s threats against our sovereignty.
The Green Party’s plan includes eliminating federal tax on the first $40,000 of income, building strategic reserves of critical resources, and investing in clean energy and home retrofits—cutting costs while creating good local jobs and future-proofing our economy. We’ll also take real action on the climate crisis: ending fossil fuel subsidies, protecting biodiversity, and supporting a just transition that leaves no worker or community behind.
People want real leadership that understands our challenges and knows how to deliver. That’s exactly why I’m running: to secure stability, affordability, and a livable future for everyone in our community.
