Volunteer coordinator Julie Cousins and Liberal candidate Grant Gordon in front of the Valentine Wall.
2,126 hearts on the Valentine Wall. $151,266 raised. And one Liberal team in Toronto-Danforth that is fired up like you wouldn’t believe.
That’s the Liberal movement at work – your movement, Canada’s movement.
You’ve just proven that Liberals are united, determined, and ready to rally behind our common cause – no matter where we live in this great land. But your support doesn’t need to stop with the success of the Take Toronto-Danforth Campaign.Â
In fact, nothing sends a stronger message that Liberals will fight hardest for the people of Toronto-Danforth, then you getting involved.
No matter where you live in Canada, you should know we’re ready to run the most sophisticated campaign in Canadian political history. And part of that effort involves harnessing supporters across the country to amplify our message, including:
- Learning more about Grant Gordon at www.grantgordon.ca
- Following, retweeting and sharing our message of the day from the Toronto-Danforth Liberal riding association Twitter and Facebook accounts;
- Following, retweeting and sharing Grant Gordon’s tweets and Facebook posts;
- Building online relationships with major Toronto social media personalities who may be receptive to the Liberal message; and
- Commenting online on media articles about the Toronto-Danforth campaign to correct falsehoods and spread our message;
But if you do live in the Toronto area, you should know we need volunteers with an extraordinary variety of talents and relationships that possibly only you possess, including:
- Language abilities in Mandarin, Cantonese, Greek, Italian, Urdu, Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Punjabi, or Vietnamese;
- Ties to local mainstream, multicultural and electronic media or major Toronto social media personalities who may be receptive to the Liberal message;
- Ties to local multicultural community associations or church and religious groups;
- Ties to local business organizations like the Chamber of Commerce, or social groups like Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs;
- Ties to bowling, pool, or hockey leagues and other sports teams; and
- Knowledge of any upcoming local events that we should attend, from bake sales and bazaars to festivals and major gatherings.
If you can help with any of the above, please email Volunteer Coordinator Julie Cousins at volunteer@tdfla.ca.
You should also email volunteer@tdfla.ca if you can help with traditional campaign activities, including:
- Knocking on doors;
- Making phone calls;
- Installing signs;
- Delivering campaign literature to people’s houses;
- Doing data-entry; and
- Getting out the vote on election day including hosting, running, or working out of a home centre.
If there’s one message we want to share above all, it’s this: That Liberal candidate Grant Gordon is the true local candidate best able to fight for jobs, pensions and opportunity for the people of Toronto-Danforth.
So please repeat this message every chance you get, on Twitter, on Facebook and whenever you talk to friends, family and neighbours about the campaign in Toronto-Danforth.
We’re in this together – and together we can win.
Thank you.

Just a short note. How about listing the major talking points of your platform for those of us not in your riding?
I’m concerned about this “stoop and scoop” bill. There certainly is an opportunity for misuse of power.
Also, the ways that Justine Trudeau manages to garner publicity, trivialise the business of Parliament. He comes off as just plain silly. TW
Wow! that’s impressive. Way to go all you committed people. Having been in this candidate’s and these volunteers shoes on an occasion or two, I’m sure they are feeling pretty determined about now. Which is good, very good! All of Canada will be watching. Now it’s time to inspire the people of Toronto-Danforth, they have the right stuff.
