Homes should be for people, not for profit.

We need to take housing back from corporate landlords.

Our plan will do just that, by building lasting affordability, strengthening tenant protections, and opening new paths to ownership so Canadians can afford to put down roots.

Richard is not only a good friend, but a respected environmentalist and biologist, and was a committed Member of Parliament.

Richard’s support means a lot in this race, and will be invaluable as we work together to build a stronger, more sustainable future.

[Heather McPherson @HMcPhersonNDP]

People are doing everything right – working hard, paying taxes but still can’t afford a place to live.

37% of renters are having a hard time.

That’s not on them. It’s on a government that keeps putting investors ahead of renters.

Honoured to stand in solidarity with Air Canada flight attendants on the picket line today.

The workers want this settled, but Air Canada is refusing to negotiate.

Air Canada has delayed flights longer than it took the government to trample the workers’ rights.

[Simon Topp @SimonTopp2]

When a person (or government) tells you who they are, believe them.

Solidarity with the strikers!

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

BREAKING - Air Canada and striking flight attendants have been ordered back to work by Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu, who has asked the CIRB to impose binding arbitration on both parties #cdnpoli

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

Is this #ElbowsUp?

We are foregoing $7.2bn — via a tax that exists in 20 countries — to rebuild our hospitals and schools. To build infrastructure we need for the climate crisis. To make life more affordable.

All to please Donald Trump and his tech bro buddies. #cdnpoli

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

We believe Canada is still capable of big, bold things.

What we choose in Ottawa Centre matters, because the leadership we send to Parliament will shape what this country fights for.

This is our closing argument. Share it. Talk about it. And help carry it to the finish line.

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

An iconic Canadian company bows out by screwing the workers and lavishing the executives?

Feds must intervene in this torqued bankruptcy. Workers deserve earned severance. We need action now. ⁦@MarkJCarney⁩ ⁦@YasirNaqviCDN⁩ https://t.co/aB4nIJTnOP

@Mikeggibbs Cry about it.

Run better local campaigns. Most of our incumbents increased their vote share by a sizeable margin - turns out that when you do a good job, you get rewarded for it.

Or, you know, push your party to actually do electoral reform like they said they would…

Another joint @JoelDHardenNDP - @OttawaSouthNDP canvass tonight in #HeronPark. Great night on the doors!

[Ottawa Centre NDP @ottawacentreNDP]

Team @JoelDHardenNDP on the doors again!

Special thanks to the dogs of Ottawa Centre for making us happy! Thank you to Finn’s human for letting us give this gorgeous guy a treat.

[Simon Topp @SimonTopp2]

Objectively the best team

[Ottawa Centre NDP @ottawacentreNDP]

Team @JoelDHardenNDP out and about, talking about @theJagmeetSingh and the @NDP plan to stop developers from buying up Canada’s affordable housing.

Join us!

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

Great #NDP canvass today in #Hintonburg! We talked to neighbours about our plan for affordable housing.

Don’t settle for less, or tune politics out.

Let’s organize for better!

[Heather McPherson @HMcPhersonNDP]

Finally a moment of hope.

This ceasefire & release of 🇮🇱 hostages & 🇵🇸 prisoners will mean so much to devastated families.

Now humanitarian aid is desperately needed in Gaza. The genocide must end. 🇨🇦 must be there for survivors & push for recovery, justice & accountability.

[Simon Topp @SimonTopp2]

It was an absolute privilege to be part of this nomination campaign. Next stop, parliament!
