Karina Gould Thinks She Can Beat Pierre Poilievre. Can She? | The Walrus
Briefly

Pierre Poilievre's path to Canadian prime minister seems less certain due to shifting political dynamics, particularly with threats from Donald Trump. While potential successors to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have garnered much attention, Karina Gould is emerging as a strong candidate. At 37, she has already made history and is presenting her case on how to regain Liberal trust and face external challenges. Her responses to critics reveal her determination and a broader representation of younger, female voices in politics.
It's funny, but I was reflecting a lot about when I was seeking the member of Parliament nomination in Burlington, and I heard very similar things at that time. I would tell them, 'No, I'm running now so that I can win this election.' And they would say, 'Oh it's so nice you're involved, but we really want an older man with business experience.'
Elections are about the present and the future. I represent a different voice, which, by the way, is a huge constituency in this country: women. I'm a millennial suburban mom. Guess who's an important voter.
