The Trudeau Liberal government doesn’t think we need to provide medication coverage for all - we do.
Canadians deserve a government that will take on powerful pharmaceutical & insurance companies to make life more affordable - see our plan here: #cdnpoli https://t.co/IG6er3Rvy5
You know what's a crime? People sleeping in the cold. 10 year waiting lists for barely habitable housing. Going to school hungry. Underfunded rape shelters.
All because we won't make people with money pay their fair share.
Stop sharing "poor person steals!" stories. Just stop.
Michael Harrington, founder of @DemSocialists, was born this day in 1928.
Here, in a video from the 1980s, he rebuts Milton Friedman:
"Corporate power, rationalized by free-enterprise myths, is the central problem of freedom in our time, and that's what has to be attacked."

@PeterDyakowski how can you run in Hamilton Mountain for a Conservative Party whose leader goes to white supremacist rallies? Racist and anti immigrant views have no place in Hamilton and if you want to represent us you have to condemn them. #Cdnpoli
The cuts made to post-secondary education by Doug Ford’s Government are beyond disgusting. I’m proud to stand alongside our young people in the fight for a free and universal post-secondary education system that works for all of us, not just the privileged elite.
To pay for its upcoming tax cuts for the wealthy and their corporations, the Ford government is going to make university tuition even less affordable. This is a horrible attack on all students! Education is a right of all Canadians regardless of income. #OSAP
Today's #OSAP announcement is an attack on students. It increases economic barriers for students & leads to larger class sizes and layoffs. It also undermines student unions advocating for services & fairness
The Minister couldn't name ONE student group they consulted #onpoli
The Ford government announced that they will bring in American-style “right to work” rules for student unions, making payment of dues optional. This is an attack on services students rely on, an attack on democracy, and an attempt to muzzle Ford’s critics. #onpoli#onpse
On nearly every "radical" idea the American people are with us:
72% want to expand Social Security.
70% want Medicare for All.
65% want a jobs guarantee.
64% want to legalize marijuana.
60% want tuition-free public colleges.
58% want $15 min wage.
57% want to break up big banks.
32% of Canadians have no dental insurance and 6 million Canadians avoid visiting the dentist every year due to cost.
Today I pressed the Liberals to fix this key health deficiency.
Instead, the Health Minister confirmed the Trudeau government has no plans to address this.
.@VictorFedeli says "everyone" must sacrifice to balance the budget, but people on ODSP/OW or basic income are already sacrificing. Pay down the deficit by ending tax giveaways to the super rich, not by punishing the poor. #onpoli
Congratulations to @Ocasio2018 on her extraordinary upset victory tonight! She took on the entire local Democratic establishment in her district and won a very strong victory. She demonstrated once again what progressive grassroots politics can do.
It's now clear that asylum seekers in the U.S. are no longer safe under the Trump administration
PM Trudeau must do the right thing, stand up for human rights, and finally suspend the Safe Third Country agreement

Health is a human right #WorldHealthDay
but growing inequality means only some people enjoy the benefits of health. Universal social programs that deliver healthcare help reduce inequality. Pharmacare, dental care, mental healthcare & more – this is how we build a fairer 🇨🇦
22 Ontario communities are about to lose their local papers, as Postmedia shuts them down. Some of these towns will now have no journalistic oversight of council, police, school boards...This is how democratic accountability erodes.
