= Karina Gould - Annotated Bibliography =

Early Life and Career - Organization of American States

 * While living in Washington, D.C., working with the Organization of American States' "Migration and Development Program" as a consultant on migration, Gould is cited as contributing to their 2011 report, International Migration in the Americas: First Report of the Continuous Reporting System on International Migration in the Americas (SICREMI). Gould held this position immediately after completing her undergraduate degree in Political Science and Latin American Studies at McGill University in Montreal and immediately prior to commencing her graduate studies in International Relations at the University of Oxford in Oxford, UK.

Political Career - Updated Electoral Record

 * 2019 Federal Election Results - Burlington, Ontario riding: still just 32 years old, Liberal representative Karina Gould was able to secure the Burlington, ON riding for consecutive terms, receiving 34,217(48.27%) votes - 10,750 more than Conservative representative Jane Michael who finished second with 23,467 (33.10%) votes.

Political Career - Parliamentary Secretary for International Development

 * Karina Gould chaired a foreign-aid strategy session at the Health Systems Research Conference in Vancouver (2016) where she expressed the importance of empowering women and girls within a "feminist approach" to foreign aid - a clear departure from the previous government's exclusion of many reproductive health services from Canadian aid programs.

Political Career - Minister of Democratic Institutions

 * Liberal Government - Justin Trudeau made electoral reforms a sworn mandate of his campaign - the Minister of Democratic Institutions would in theory be the leader of the electoral reform process. While this was the case for Trudeau's first Minister of Democratic Institutions, Maryam Monsef, it was made clear to not be apart of Karina Gould's responsibilities in this role. As outlined in Trudeau's "Minister of Democratic Institutions Mandate Letter" addressed to Gould in January, 2017. This document also offers valuable information about what is included in her mandate, namely, defending the Canadian electoral process from cyber threats.


 * Cyber interference from social media giants - Gould voices concerns ahead of 2019 federal election - addresses how as Ministers of Democratic Institutions she looks to combat foreign interference on this election. Online meddling - spreading disinformation on social media platforms.


 * Strengthening Canada's democratic institutions and improving Canada's democratic process - as Minister of Democratic Institutions, Karina Gould is instrumental in developing new legislation to achieve these goals. For instance - amendments to Bill C-76, the Elections Modernization Act. This document includes direct quotations from Gould.

Personal Life

 * Has an infant son named Oliver - discusses the balancing of parenthood and her career - the unjust criticism women/mother MPs face.
 * A lot of personal information, opinions, and perspectives can be found at her personal website. In addition to monthly blog-like "updates", Gould often includes her personal reactions and responses to certain legislation, events, causes, etc. I found her article on maternity leave for MPs particularly good.
 * Breastfeeding in the House of Commons.
