Lisa Raitt: A better path for Canada

April 27, 2017
Dear Conservatives,

For nearly two years Canadians have had a government that promised sunny ways, but has delivered nothing but pain and confusion as taxes go up, benefits are cut, and promises are broken.

Canadians cannot afford another four years of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal ways.

Picking a leader will determine the direction of our Party, but it will also determine the path our country takes. I want it to be a prosperous path, and it is why I am running for leader of our Party.

Please see above and below this post or click here to watch a short video on why I am running for the leadership of our Party.

My vision of the Conservative Party is one that fights for those who are struggling to make ends meet. 

My plan will balance the budget, cut taxes for all Canadian workers, strengthen the health care support for those who need it the most, and builds up everyone from Cape Breton to Coquitlam to Cambridge Bay. You can learn more about my plan here.

This is an exciting time for our Party. We have over 250,000 members, more than anyone expected. Canadians are interested and engaged with our Party. We can’t let this opportunity go to waste.

As you sit down to fill out your ballot, ask yourself who you will be proud to vote for and to volunteer for. Who has the experience, the empathy, the honesty and integrity to lead our Party?

I can – and I will – lead our Party to Victory in 2019. I have the experience, the plan, the dedication, and the leadership ability to take on Justin Trudeau and win.

I hope you’ll join me in this exciting journey by committing to vote, and committing to volunteer for a few hours.

Thank you,

Lisa Raitt
 

PS – I’m still travelling to communities across Canada, meeting with Conservatives and sharing my vision for our Party and our country. If you share my belief in building up Canadians and Victory in 2019, help me spread the word with a $35 donation today!
