raising funds for my colleague in Gaza here

Today’s announcement shows what this federal government will protect above all else: the profits of Big Oil.

As we mark the five-year anniversary of a heat dome that killed 619 people in British Columbia – and as many communities across the country are facing extreme weather right now – Canadians deserve leadership that protects us. Instead, this government is doubling down on yesterday’s failed solutions and dragging us into further danger, risk and insecurity.

The opaque and confusing public-private partnership ownership structure means it's very likely that we, the public, will not only bear the risks and the damages, but also the lion's share of the costs.

Canada’s New Democrats unequivocally oppose this pipeline proposal. If anything, this is a pipeline to the courts. It ignores the federal government’s legal responsibility to meaningfully consult Indigenous nations, including Treaty 8 nations in Alberta, threatens endangered species, and accelerates climate change. It will sow the very divisions the Prime Minister claims he wants to avoid.

We do not achieve unity or prosperity from projects that pit communities against one another, all while a handful of oil and gas CEOs walk away with enormous profits.

While we're stuck fighting yesterday's battles over pipelines, and the Prime Minister openly admits that our emissions will rise, the rest of the world is racing ahead on renewables. We cannot afford to fall behind while other countries build the industries of the future.

Canadians deserve better than being told our only choice is another fight over another pipeline. This country needs an alternative to the Liberal-Conservative consensus that is doubling down on a future of climate-wrecking corporate welfare.

New Democrats are ready to build something bigger, safer, and better – a Canada that is a renewable energy superpower, with an east-west clean electricity grid and good green jobs in every region. Lower costs for families with home retrofits and heat pumps for all. Investing in the care economy as a nation-building project.

That’s what it looks like to build big things that actually unite this country.

In Toronto, on the World Cup's closing day, activists unfurled umbrellas reading "RED CARD ISRAEL" over the Gardiner Expressway as Gaza marks 1,000 days of genocide.

Canadian politicians do this "aw shucks" bit when asked direct questions like these 2 laughing like there's something funny about being asked about having bias against tenats, when there's a national housing crisis amidst an economic crisis that landlords are taking advantage of.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers in Gaza who are trying to keep their families alive.

So he's a hostage, why aren't you referring to him as such?

El sindicalista obrero Tiago Oliveira es mecánico y secretario general de la Confederación General de Trabajadores en Portugal. Ha liderado dos huelgas generales y tras 11 meses de lucha ininterrumpida han logrado tumbar la reforma laboral neoliberal del gobierno derechista.

A question for Minister Anita Anand at the University of Toronto, where she spoke at a private event today:

“Hey Minister, I am just curious what's it going to take for you to stop arming genocide, now we have reached a thousand days of Israel’s crimes!”

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of all Canadians.

This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.

Capitalism is a death cult

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Literally can’t watch Seinfeld anymore, once one of my fave shows. This man is a disgusting and proud racist who doesn’t support the genocide of a people but doesn’t even recognize their existence. He should be shunned from polite society, but, y’know, the ‘Palestine exception’.

He's turning Canada into a permanent surveillance state through contracts with Palantir while the industry is reporting historic losses in the hundreds of billions of dollars

[Jindi Singh KA @jindisinghka]

Completely agree.

Let’s be done with the Francophone-Anglophone animosity.

Leave your Protestant Orange marches back home.

Let’s revisit Canada’s constitutional protection for Catholic schools.

Or are we talking about immigrants from only some parts of the world?

If only I’d kept a penny for every time some ‘old stock’ Canadian said this to me…

ACQUITTAL & WITHDRAWAL

On November 10, 2024, and again on May 17, 2025, my client, David Shultz, was arrested at Palestine solidarity protests in Toronto.

The past week saw both prosecutions collapse - one through a withdrawal, and the other through an acquittal after trial.

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

It’s bad enough that this motion was defeated. The fact that it was defeated by a wide margin highlights the degeneracy of Canada’s political elite. They have no moral authority to criticize the human rights abuses of anyone.

@yuenpauwoo is an honourable exception.

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

"Nos vemos obligados a tomar las armas para defender nuestros recursos naturales, la patria no se vende, se defiende. Avisamos a Rodrigo Paz que cese la represión contra el pueblo y a su policía que deje de masacrar... o será bala por bala, piénsenlo mil veces".

Organizaciones revolucionarias indígenas de Bolivia tomaron las armas para luchar contra el régimen criminal de Rodrigo Paz, que está masacrando a la población para imponer su agenda entreguista y vendepueblos para beneficio de EEUU.
