Meet Karina Gould: Liberal leadership hopeful with history suppressing speech
Gould’s career is riddled with controversies that raise serious questions about her commitment to democracy, free speech and transparency.
Karina Gould is campaigning to be the next leader of the Liberal Party and, by extension, Canada's next prime minister. But what does her record say about her vision for the country
From her involvement in the Digital Citizen Initiative to her role in the Yaroslav Hunka scandal, Gould’s career is riddled with controversies that raise serious questions about her commitment to democracy, free speech and transparency.
As in: she's not committed to those things at all.
To learn more about Gould and the other Liberals vying to replace Justin Trudeau as the leader — and as the short-lived prime minister — please visit MeetTheLiberals.com.
As minister of democratic institutions, Gould launched the Digital Citizen Initiative, a program supposedly aimed at combating online disinformation.
What it really did was funnel $19.4 million in taxpayer dollars to projects that targeted critics of the Liberal government. Among the recipients of this funding? None other than Rachel Gilmore, a self-styled journalist notorious for smearing government critics as hateful extremists. This initiative wasn’t about protecting democracy — it was about controlling the narrative and silencing dissent.
Under Gould’s watch, institutions like Carleton University received funding for projects that attacked legitimate protest movements, such as the 2022 Freedom Convoy, labelling them as hate groups. Instead of promoting critical thinking and digital literacy, this funding was used to delegitimize Canadians exercising their right to peaceful protest or even question the government.
Then, there’s Gould’s involvement in the Yaroslav Hunka debacle. When it was revealed that an actual geriatric Nazi had been invited by the Liberals to be honoured in Parliament, Gould didn’t own up to the mistake. Instead, she pushed to scrub the incident from the official record.
This isn’t leadership — it’s an Orwellian attempt to rewrite history.
Karina Gould’s record shows a troubling pattern. But it's a pattern used over and over again by these Liberals in the last nine years, and so Canadians know it well: use government power and taxpayer dollars to suppress opposition, rewrite inconvenient truths and protect Liberal interests. All while using sleazy clandestine tactics do it.
The Liberals can't seem to put up anything better than Justin Trudeau 2.0, this time in a skirt.
