New Democrats believe in supporting big nation-building projects, like an East-West clean electricity grid, which would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, reduce pollution, promote energy security and lower energy bills.
Canada Post announced they will be ending door-to-door mail delivery for 136,000 addresses, making life more difficult for seniors and people with disabilities. Liberals promised they would protect home mail delivery, but now they’re doing the exact opposite.
Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.
First bread price-fixing. Now fraudulent weight labels on meat. Grocery giants are ripping people off — and the Liberals are cutting the food inspectors who protect us. PM Carney wants to be judged on grocery prices. Will he act to stop the food monopoly from cheating Canadians?
Right now, workers in the federal public service can lose their pension entitlements due to a disability, even if that disability is caused by a recognized work-related injury. If you think those workers deserve fair treatment, sign this petition.
Today we mark Yom HaShoah.
We remember the six million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust as well as all other groups persecuted by the Nazi fascists. We cherish their memories. We honour the survivors and all those who fought this evil.
We commit:
Never again.
This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the NDP and for our country. I was proud to introduce the House to the new leader of Canada’s NDP, Avi Lewis. Under his leadership, New Democrats are united and ready to fight for the progressive change that Canadians deserve.
Honoured to bring Vasaikhi greetings to the Khalsa Diwan Society Gurdwara.
The principles set down in 1699 - equality, justice, courage, defending the oppressed, are incredibly needed today.
Thanks to all in the Sikh community who practice these values and are generously sharing food and love.
If your values are up for negotiation then you don’t actually have #Values
That time I questioned the previous PM on protecting the right to choose from the Con agenda.
PM Carney has welcomed floor crossing MP’s like MP Gladu who have pushed a Conservative agenda to restrict people’s rights.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
Our ally is threatening genocide.
At Davos, our Prime Minister promised principled consistency.
Where’s Canada’s condemnation?
“European govts. worry the Pentagon could remotely disable F-35 fighters or restrict how US weapons can be used. When your supplier threatens to annex your allies, that’s not paranoia - it’s basic procurement logic.”
That’s why NDP says we should buy Gripens, not F-35s.
Logic.
This was allowed to happen by centrist and right-wing governments in power over the last four decades.
And only political parties representing working people will do anything about it.
Federal Liberals governing like Conservatives.
Rolling back environmental protections, increasing fossil fuel burning, letting Big Tech call the shots, backroom dealing.
Same old story.

“I’ll never forget when I met him the first time, the first words out of his mouth: ‘I’m more conservative than you.’ And I said: ‘well that sounds good.”

Wow! Mark Carney himself said “he’s more conservative than Doug Ford”.
New Democrats have been saying it for months and Canadians are seeing it more & more: two conservative parties are in the House of Commons.
Only the NDP is representing progressive Canadians.
Even Mark Carney says so.
I was honoured to deliver my farewell address as NDP leader to thousands of incredible New Democrats in Winnipeg.
Serving in this role has been the privilege of my life.
An exciting new chapter has begun, and I couldn't be more hopeful.

I was asked to comment on the passing of Stephen Lewis. Just prior to my interview they played this piece.
I heard his eloquent voice calling for people to show moral courage. A voice needed now more than ever.
When they came to me for my thoughts I broke down.

As part of our NDP Convention coverage, host Michael Serapio speaks with interim leader @donvdavies.bsky.social, who says he’s leaving the role optimistic, citing strong momentum and room to grow against rivals like Poilievre and Carney.

Trump's war on Iran is sending shockwaves through the global economy. Canadians are now seeing dramatic price hikes at the gas pump. Experts warn the fallout will deepen the longer this continues.
PM Carney is an economist. These consequences were foreseeable. He supported the war anyway.
This is how the genocide in Gaza was white-washed day after day by the media.
Trump's illegal attack on Iran is not only causing death and destruction, it's spreading global economic chaos. Canadians are already seeing sky-high gas prices and economists warn of years of turmoil. What does PM Carney say to Canadians paying the price for a war he supported?
I had a great tour of the Irving ship yards in Halifax where they're building world-class Arctic patrol ships and River-class destroyers. These vessels use Canadian technology, design and materials wherever possible and are proudly built to high quality standards by Unifor union members.
Poilievre’s Conservatives’ plan won’t open shuttered auto plants in Canada, would weaken emission standards to those set by Trump & slow the transition to no/low emission vehicles.
That harms workers, wastes the opportunity for Canada and misses where the market is going. 2/2
Liberal & Conservative governments have failed to establish a solid auto strategy for Canada.
NDP wants low/no emission vehicles built here, by unionized companies, using Canadian parts and technology wherever possible.
That’s the future in this critical sector. 1/2
Agreed!!
And the Liberal government’s attempts to hide the information from public view is appalling.
So much for “open by default”.
Indigenous Canadians are among the most poorly served in Canada, lacking access to clean water, affordable housing, timely healthcare and good jobs.
And the Liberal govt aims to cut $billions from these already underserved communities
Is that what Canadians voted for?
I was shocked when I read the news of the collision at LaGuardia Airport this morning.
My thoughts are with the friends and family of the two pilots who lost their lives in the tragedy, and I hope for a fast recovery of all the workers and passengers onboard.
Don is standing with Claudia Chender, leader of the Nova Scotia NDP, in front of a sign that reads "Better Local Health Care."
Great meeting with Nova Scotia NDP Leader @claudiachenderns.bsky.social. She has done an excellent job holding the PC government accountable for their budget cuts. The NDP will always protect the services that Canadians rely on.
Very saddened to hear this news. Amanda was a leader in our movement and a leader in her community. I am thinking today of her family and all those she so passionately represented.

What Israel is doing in the Middle East right now violates every precept of international law. It is acting with utter disregard for other nations’ sovereignty, attacking civilians and infrastructure at will, and allowing pogroms against Palestinians.
Where is Canada’s voice??
