Time for me to get off the bench. I am going to be starting a political stream and I am going to volunteer for the @NDP . I need this New York energy here
If you want to send Liberal MPs packing for screwing the working class like Mamdani did to corporate Democrats in New York, than join Avi Lewis' NDP today

A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs
Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party
It was billed Build Canada Strong - not Bailout Developer Donors.
It appears free market principles only work one way: private profits, public losses.
This condo bailout won’t create a single new unit of affordable housing.
It’s time to create real non-market housing
Unfortunately this won’t free up anything - the homes already exist & are available. Nothing new is added.
We need more homes, purpose built to be affordable & appropriate for the realities facing most individuals, couples and families - not small condos designed for investors.
Liberals have violated workers’ Charter right to strike, refused to take action on unpaid work in the airline sector & are scheming behind closed doors to weaken unions’ collective bargaining position. Meanwhile, unemployment is high and workers are struggling to make ends meet.
Was honoured to meet Sebastian Tow, one of 12 Canadians on the Global Sumud Flotilla trying to bring aid to Gaza. His report of horrific violations by the IDF, including piracy in international waters, beatings and sexual assault is harrowing. Canada should respond strongly now.
If Liberals were truly concerned about homes sitting empty - why did you just eliminate the federal Underused Housing Tax in your Budget? That tax charged 1% on homes sitting vacant or underused owned primarily by foreign nationals.
Maybe because developers wanted you to?
“If you succeed you get rewarded, but if you fail, you fail, your institution fails
I’m saying no bailouts”
Mark Carney, 2011
15 years later, Carney wants to bailout home builders who failed
The NDP has been advocating for a Filipino Cultural Centre in Metro Vancouver for years. Our persistence resulted in a federal budget commitment for this much-needed resource. The Filipino-Canadian community contributes so much to our country — they deserve a place to call home.
The new Liberals: bringing in “a massive, business-friendly bonanza of arms procurement and tax cuts, paid for through austerity for health care and other social programs that benefit ordinary people.”
Is that what Canadians voted for?
Today, we celebrate Philippines Independence Day. More than 1 million Filipino Canadians call Canada home, and their contributions strengthen our nation economically, culturally, politically and socially.
Happy Independence Day! Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! 🇵🇭🇨🇦
Israel has been credibly accused of committing genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing. It has been ordered to cease by an international court. It is in violation of numerous treaties and UN resolutions.
When is Canada going to align our foreign policy and implement sanctions?
Oil companies will capture $90 BILLION this year from the war on Iran. Canadians are paying for it at the pump.
New Democrats are calling it what it is: war profiteering.
It's time to tax this unearned windfall and put that money back in Canadians' pockets.
Breaking up the giant grocer monopoly in Canada would do more to reduce food prices.
Strengthening and enforcing anti-competition laws would also help.
Hongkongers who stepped up to defend democracy were promised safety in Canada. Instead, an agonizing IRCC backlog is leaving applicants stranded in a dangerous legal limbo. Liberal govt must fix the processing delays immediately and fulfill its promise. https://t.co/Rh2OUYtgnK
The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout.
The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.
