Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
The death of the male located in the area of Simcoe Street South and McGrigor Street in Oshawa is now being investigated as a homicide.
We are aware of the proximity of this incident to the nearby mosque. Determining whether there is any connection between the location and this tragic event will form part of the ongoing investigation.
We understand that this incident has had a significant impact on members of the Muslim community and the broader public. Our thoughts remain with the victim’s family, friends, and all those affected.
Investigators continue to work diligently to determine the circumstances surrounding this incident. We remain in close contact with leaders from the Oshawa Islamic Centre and the broader community to ensure the investigation is conducted with sensitivity, respect, and transparency.

Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Zionist lobbyists fund both parties—because it’s the same empire, rigged from the start. But if the people unite, we can break the cycle.

My valedictory address to the Manitoba Medicine Class of 2024. Every platform is an appropriate platform to call for an end to genocide. 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine
Today, the Government announces it will formally recognise the State of Palestine on May 28th.
Today, we state clearly our unambiguous support for the equal right to security, dignity, and self-determination for the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
We are now at the surreal stage of this war, where @JoeBiden , supported by the likes of our own @JustinTrudeau , @melaniejoly and @HonAhmedHussen are dropping food on 2 million people. The world’s greatest power is dropping food with parachutes on human beings while the “the beacon of democracy” and the “world’s most moral army” led by the thug Netanyahu watches on and kills people daily. Makes sense. #cdnpoli
What total performative BS this is.
With one hand US airdrops 38,000 meal packs…while the other hand continues to provide Israel with the arms, munitions and funds required to sustain this conflict.
Performative BS. It fools no one.
This is what happens when Canadian politicians support and enable a genocide of people in Gaza. Shame on them. They are complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and children. Power to the people. 🔥
Children are now beginning to die of starvation & dehydration in Gaza. The U.S. must immediately begin a massive humanitarian airdrop to the hardest-hit areas. And we must DEMAND that Netanyahu open the borders and let aid in at the scale necessary.
Beginning tomorrow, we in the NDP are calling on Parliament to take a clear stand.
For a Permanent Ceasefire
For Reinstating Funding to UNRWA
For an Arms Embargo on Israel
For Recognition of the State of Palestine
It’s time for Canada to be on the side of Peace and Justice.
