Thrilled for the support from 6 powerful labour leaders: private and public, veteran and young, all united in passion for justice.

We share a belief: the NDP and trade unions must fight together for an ambitious vision guaranteeing a dignified life for ALL workers.

I'm honoured to have the support of six amazing climate leaders from across the country and around the world. 

Climate impacts are stealing lives, costing billions, and only getting more intense. 

Our politics needs an injection of urgency: a climate emergency plan. A Green New Deal.

I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now.

He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.

This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Shame.

Billions for NATO weapons and cuts for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

Liberal cuts will mean more children dying of preventable diseases malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

Hope all parties will fight this unprecedented cut.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.

We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.
