Kody Blois

Kody Blois MP (born 17 January 1991) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of Kings—Hants in the House of Commons as a member of the Liberal Party in the 2019 Canadian federal election. After Mark Carney became Prime Minister, Blois became the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Rural Economic Development in March 2025, and was dropped from the ministry on 13 May 2025, due to the cabinet reshuffle. He was appointed as parliamentary secretary to the prime minister in June 2025.

Blois was born on 17 January 1991, and grew up in Belnan, Nova Scotia, in Hants County. He played ice hockey and was a draft pick for the Halifax Mooseheads. He was involved in the establishment of the East Hants Sport Heritage Society in 2013, and founded the Tidefest music festival in 2016.

Blois was educated at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, graduating with an undergraduate degree in commerce. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor at Dalhousie University in 2018.

Blois was elected to represent the riding of Kings—Hants in the House of Commons as a member of the Liberal Party in the 2019 Canadian federal election.

In May 2022, Blois was the only Liberal MP to support the opposition motion Bill C-234, which sought to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act by exempting natural gas and propane used by farmers to dry grain and heat barns from the federal carbon tax.

After Mark Carney became Prime Minister, Blois became the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Rural Economic Development in March 2025.

In the 2025 federal election, Blois employed "Farmers for Kody" campaign signs coloured burgundy, lacking any mention of the Liberal Party, to emphasize his personal brand and support amongst local farmers. The initiative was conceived a year prior amid declining support for the Liberals. The political science professor Erin Crandall of Acadia University noted that, despite the riding's 20-year Liberal hold, this was associated with support for Blois' predecessor Scott Brison rather than the Liberal Party as a whole. Crandall stated that Blois' use of personal branding provided him an advantage over the Conservative candidate.

Blois was reelected in the 2025 federal election on 28 April 2025, and dropped from the 30th Canadian Ministry on 13 May 2025 due to the cabinet reshuffle. He was appointed as the parliamentary secretary to the prime minister in June 2025.
