In 2015, Bardish Chagger rode the red wave into Parliament, going from executive assistant to Member of Parliament. Young, ambitious, and full of promises, she became a symbol of change.
A decade later, much has changed—except her campaign flyer.
Despite being 45, she continues to use the same photo from 2015, clinging to an image and a message that no longer reflect her record.
Though she briefly held ministerial titles, she is best remembered for her role in the $1 billion WE Charity scandal—a deal that raised serious questions after funnelling public money to close friends of Justin Trudeau, who had wined and dined Trudeau’s family.
Perhaps, as a former executive assistant, she didn’t grasp the weight of a billion-dollar decision. But Canadians did.
Today, her own party sees her as a backbencher. And voters see through recycled promises—and recycled images.
Waterloo deserves leadership with transparency, accountability, and a vision for tomorrow—not a faded snapshot of yesterday.
Choose Val Neekman.
Old enough to understand the importance of preserving and protecting our shared accomplishments as One People, One Canada. Young enough to push for real change in the name of progress.
The future deserves fresh leadership.
