Michael Charrois, New Democrat Candidate in Burnaby North-Seymour
My Experience in the Community
For five years, I worked on the frontlines as a Constituency Advisor in MLA Susie Chant’s community office, advocating for residents and ensuring their voices were heard. Since 2017, I’ve served as President of the North Vancouver-Seymour BC New Democrats, and I am also a past president of the North Vancouver federal NDP EDA.
As a theatre arts instructor, I’ve brought creative community programs to Burnaby’s Shadbolt Centre, the Christine Sinclair Rec Centre, and schools across North Burnaby, including Gilmore, Aubrey, Westridge, and Montecito. Beyond my professional life, I’ve led local initiatives as President of the Lower Lonsdale Community Garden and Treasurer for the North Shore Community Garden Association, fostering food security, sustainability and community engagement.
My Priorities
Canada should be a country where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. That means ensuring:
- Good Unionized Jobs and Affordable Living: Every Canadian should have access to a job that provides enough to afford a home, a fridge full of groceries, and savings for the future.
- Accessible Health Care: Health care should always be there when you need it, whether it’s for a check-up, dental care, or life-saving medications.
I believe every Canadian deserves that. Health care must include primary care, pharma care, dental, vision, and mental health care. How to pay for it all? Tax billionaires out of existance, windfall taxes on corporations and their record profits, and property taxes on churches.
Unfortunately, the Trudeau Liberals have repeatedly failed to deliver on their promises. They’ve prioritized the powerful over people, and Canadians deserve better.
As an NDP candidate, I will fight for:
- Building affordable homes.
- Expanding universal health care to include dental, vision, prescription medications, mental health and protect free birth control from the Cut and Gut Conservatives.
- Lowering the cost of living for families.
The New Democrats have a track record of fighting for these priorities. We used our position in the House of Commons to push for dental care, free birth control, and diabetes medication—and we didn’t back down when the Liberals said no.
New Democrats invented our nation-defining public single-payer health care system and we are the only party that can be trusted to protect it. New Democrats will not let Pierre Poilievre and the Cut and Gut Conservatives undo progress or make callous cuts to vital programs like health care, child care, housing, and pensions.
Together, we can build a Canada where we take better care of each other, stand up to threats like Trump’s tariffs, and ensure everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
Join me in this fight for a brighter future.
