New measures to support Canada’s seniors

Many of Canada’s seniors are facing significant health, economic, and social challenges because of COVID-19. That’s why Justin Trudeau announced additional new measures this week that will provide greater financial security for seniors to help get through this challenging time.

Mental Health Week

Last week was National Mental Health Week – a week where we remind ourselves about the importance of taking care of our mental health and supporting our friends, family and colleagues, especially during this pandemic.

Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and by staying connected, we can be there for each other even if we’re apart.

Check in with your neighbours, family, and friends – and if you’re having a tough time, reach out to someone you can trust or check out tools like the government’s new ‘Wellness Together’ virtual portal for mental health resources.

Strengthening Canada’s gun laws

Assault-style weapons have no place in Canada. That’s why earlier this month, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government announced an immediate ban on assault-style weapons in Canada.

Canada’s first virtual Parliament

Parliament has gone virtual! Justin Trudeau and Liberal MPs are now meeting online to keep Canada moving forward and ensure that all Canadians are safe, healthy, and supported through this difficult time.

While the setting may be different, democratic engagement and our Liberal MPs’ progress for Canadians are just as important as ever.

As a teacher, Justin Trudeau wants to help answer the questions that you and your kids need help with. Leave a comment on the video, or use the hashtag #CanadaHomeworkHelp, and Justin and his friends will try to help out!

Last fall, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal team earned another mandate to keep Canada moving forward and continue building a better future. There’s still a lot of work ahead of us, and it’s your support and involvement that means we can keep building on our progress for Canadians.

We know that many Canadians are facing new difficulties right now and you may not be in the position to give at the moment – and that’s ok! We are grateful to have you standing with us no matter what, and we deeply appreciate your leadership and involvement on this team.
