Great to be in Manitoba at the NDP convention. Premier Kinew and his team are showing what progressive government looks like. Grateful to hear the needs of Manitobans and their views on the federal budget.

I'd like a budget that satisfies Canadians, not one that satisfies Donald Trump.

Canadians are struggling to make ends meet — yet this budget offers no real relief. Families can’t wait for promises. They need help now. #cdnpoli #Budget2025

Don and the NDP once again secure funding for a Filipino Community and Cultural Centre in Vancouver.

The Carney Liberals want to remove the Empty Homes Tax - a measure aimed at investors to encourage them to put their units into the housing supply. During a housing crisis, people need more homes, not a gift to investors to keep them empty.

Congratulations to Kate White and the entire Yukon NDP team on forming the Official Opposition! Your federal team looks forward to working together to make the North and Canada work better for working people!

Congratulations and great gratitude to the @BlueJays for a sensational season. You did Canada proud and are champions in our hearts… 🇨🇦⚾️❤️

Our little ladybug Charlotte enjoyed her first Halloween! I hope everyone had a safe, fun and not too spooky night!

youtu.be/AKZqkn-vS6s We want a budget that invests in Canada: NDP

Their chaotic approach has already wreaked havoc in post-secondary institutions, leading to layoffs & confusion. Canadians deserve a fair, transparent & accountable immigration policy—not more excuses from a government out of touch with immigrant realities. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Merci au chef intérimaire du @npd.ca, @donvdavies.bsky.social, pour cette conversation intéressante ce matin à Ottawa. #polcan

Canada is at a critical moment. Now is the time to work together to bring forward local solutions and grow strong federal partnerships so #CDNMuni can deliver for their residents. Our thanks to @ndp.ca Interim Leader @donvdavies.bsky.social for the engaging conversation in Ottawa this morning.

Universal healthcare is nation-building. Budget 2025 should invest in head-to-toe care—because every Canadian deserves it, not just those who can afford it. #cdnpoli #Budget2025

Municipalities build the communities Canadians call home. I spoke this morning to the @fcm.ca about renewing Canada’s nation-building vision—partnering with local leaders on housing, infrastructure, and climate resilience. #CDNmuni #cdnpoli

Canadians are facing a severe affordability crisis. Families are struggling to cover basic expenses, relying on high-interest credit just to get by, while food bank use has surged. In a country as wealthy as ours, no one should be forced into debt just to put food on the table.

Congrats to BCGEU and the BC Government on reaching a collective agreement. While negotiations and job action can be hard, the best deals are reached by the parties with free & full collective bargaining rights respected. The Carney govt. (& Cons) should pay attention to how it’s done.

New Democrats are deeply concerned after hearing Mark Carney’s pre-budget speech. He’s telling working Canadians to make “sacrifices” while handing out billions to the wealthiest 0.13% and the biggest, most profitable corporations. Read my full statement: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-sta...

Trump’s abrupt ending of trade talks because of an (accurate) Canadian ad proves again he cannot be appeased. It’s time for a strong stance and to invest heavily in our own economy. No more unilateral concessions!

Canada has a serious jobs crisis. This must be addressed by a strong national industrial policy, investments in key sectors + innovative programs, esp. that put young people to work. Austerity that throws people out of work & cuts to services folks need will make things worse.

Canadians are struggling with the sky-high cost of daily essentials—and the situation is getting worse. The latest inflation data shows grocery prices up 4%, rent up 4.8% nationally and 9.6% in Quebec. The upcoming federal budget must deliver real solutions to Canada's cost-of-living crisis.

Yesterday, I spoke to delegates from Special Olympics Canada. It was an honour to meet such dedicated, talented athletes, along with the incredible coaches, parents, volunteers, and staff who support them. When people with diverse abilities succeed, we all succeed.

I tabled a petition from Canadians fed up with chronic CRA service failures—especially seniors, rural residents & those without internet. They’re calling for restored in-person help, more staff, fixed tech issues & faster service. Canadians deserve accessible, reliable CRA support.

Canadians deserve clarity and transparency. That’s why I’m calling on the government to fully explain the basis for the reported entry ban on @kneecapceol.bsky.social — no one should face arbitrary or politicized immigration decisions. The public needs answers. 🇨🇦 nationalpost.com/news/politic...

Every worker deserves to know the people negotiating on their behalf are accountable to them And only them.

Farmers’ right to save and reuse seed is at risk. I’m urging the government to halt proposed seed regulation changes that hand more control to big corporations. We must protect seed sovereignty, food security, and farmers’ livelihoods. #SeedsMatter #FarmersFirst

Today I called for an emergency debate on Stellantis' plan to send 3000 Canadian jobs to the US. This betrayal—after billions in public support—will devastate families and communities. Our economy is under attack from the Trump administration. We must act immediately to protect Canadian workers.

Honoured to attend the celebration of life of the incomparable Chris Morrissey. Chris left a remarkable legacy, championing LGBTQ+ rights, saving the lives of refugees, working w/ the poor & fighting for equality. Chris was a force for love + understanding & a model of compassionate activism…

Public healthcare is both a moral and economic imperative. A healthy economy needs healthy workers. It's time to strengthen and expand our public healthcare system, not maintain the status quo. Instead of austerity and cuts, the upcoming federal budget must invest in Canadians.

With rents soaring and home ownership increasingly out of reach, the federal government must address the housing crisis in the upcoming budget. That means dramatically scaling up the construction of non-market homes of all types, including co-op, student, senior and supportive housing.

Stellantis’ plan to close its Brampton plant & move Canadian jobs to the US is a betrayal + more evidence PM Carney’s concessionary, piecemeal approach to Trump is failing. Auto workers must be protected, not sacrificed!

Working families are struggling and youth unemployment is soaring. Yet the Liberals are planning an austerity budget. New Democrats believe this is the wrong approach. It’s time to invest in Canadians, create good jobs, build affordable homes, and strengthen public healthcare.

Happy Thanksgiving, all. I hope everyone can gather with loved ones and friends to share this time of gratitude and reflection. I am so grateful for the many blessings in our lives…

Wonderful celebration of the 40th anniversary of Circulo Pampangueñño - a fabulous group sharing culture, heritage and charity in our community, country and globally. Special thanks to outgoing president Salve Dayao, whose energy and talent light up our world.

every couple months, carney starts pulling the legs out from under yet another important climate policy

Yesterday I met with the Elbows Up for Climate Coalition—a group of mayors warning about the rising costs of climate inaction. From wildfires to food prices, communities are struggling. It’s time to invest in resilience and put young Canadians to work building a sustainable future.

Canada's latest job numbers are out and it's more bad news. Unemployment remains at a 10-year high and young Canadians are now facing the worst job market since 2010. The Liberal government must act immediately to address this growing jobs crisis—especially for young Canadians.

Mark Carney's growing list of concessions to Donald Trump isn’t working. Now he’s offering up the Keystone pipeline—an uneconomic, environmentally damaging project—and getting nothing in return. This directly contradicts his pledge to reduce US integration. Where’s the strong stance he promised?

New Democrats have outlined clear priorities ahead of the Nov. 4 budget. Canada needs substantial investment to create good jobs, build affordable housing, and strengthen public healthcare. Now is not the time for austerity—the NDP won’t support a budget that takes that approach.

PM Carney: getting praise from Donald Trump, extending Golden Dome talks and promising 1 Trillion Canadian dollars going to the US in the next 5 years are not bragging points. They’re also contrary to your campaign pledge to end deeper integration with the US economy.

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the horrific Hamas attack in Israel that killed 1,200 people. Our heart goes out to all victims, families and communities affected by this assault. This week also marks two years of genocidal war in Gaza that has taken tens of thousands of lives. 1/2

The horrific violence and wanton killings at the Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur are a tragedy that is felt throughout the world. Places of worship should be a welcoming and safe space for people to pray and worship.

Economic anxiety is rising across Canada. Working families are facing deep uncertainty, excessive costs, and the highest unemployment rate in a decade. Yesterday I met with the PM and made it clear: now is not the time for an austerity budget. Canada needs investment, not cuts.

The world has lost a remarkable voice for our planet. I was honoured to meet Jane Goodall and witness her kindness & wisdom firsthand. Her commitment to wildlife and the environment reshaped global awareness, & her legacy of courage, compassion, and science will endure forever. 🌍

Today in Parliament I called for an emergency debate on the Liberals' plan to dismantle Canada Post. This vital public service connects communities, supports good jobs, and must be protected. Postal workers deserve respect. Canadians deserve better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUVO...

Honoured to march with Jenny Kwan MP and Cerys in East Van to commemorate the National Day For Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a day to remember, honour, acknowledge, learn and commit to true reconciliation and full justice with the First Peoples of this land. (Photo: Josh Berson)

Remember this?

Home mail delivery was - and is - a nation-building project that connects Canadians across our country. Ending it will hurt many, esp. seniors, rural folks & businesses who rely on this crucial service. And it’s not “Ottawa” who’s giving the green light - the Liberals are.

As other countries have done, Canada must protect Canadian citizens and ensure the safety of all on the Global Sumud Flotilla who are peacefully bringing medical and relief supplies to suffering Gazans. Recognizing Palestine is necessary - but words must be backed by action.
