Columnist for the National Post, Sabrina Maddeaux, announced her plans to run for the Conservative Party of Canada in the next election. She announced that will be seeking the nomination for Aurora-Oak Ridges – Richmond Hill on Wednesday.
Maddeaux has become a well-known voice in the political sphere for her articles and appearances on radio and television, particularly within the millennial generation of Conservative voices.
“I am proud to be from Richmond Hill, but it’s also sadly a place where I may never be able to afford to own a home of my own. Like many millennials, I was locked out of home ownership after prices more than doubled in eight years under Trudeau’s watch. It shouldn’t be a luxury to raise a family in the community you grew up in,” said Maddeaux in a press release.
Maddeaux has been a vocal critic on housing affordability and inflation while working at the National Post.
Following Pierre Poilievre’s victory to become CPC leader in November 2022, Maddeaux was one of the first journalists to get an in-depth interview with the new leader.
“Under Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, my generation has seen Canada go from a place where hard work brings opportunity to one where inheritance counts more than merit,” said Maddeaux. “As someone who has experienced the disastrous impacts of Trudeau’s reckless policies, I will fight hard to build Canada back to a place where each generation is better off than the last.”
Maddeaux says one of the reasons she’s running is because of Canada’s standing on the world stage.
“Canada is in desperate need of a government with strong principles and steadfast moral clarity as authoritarian regimes increasingly collaborate with one another and fund terror around the world,” said Maddeaux. “Under Trudeau, Canada has become a shell of its former self. We need to get back to standing up for what’s right, not just issuing feel-good press statements, to defend democracy and freedom both at home and abroad.”
