"A burgeoning membership culture in organizations like the Ontario New Democratic Youth can rekindle the mass party." @jameshasaface.bsky.social explains how @theondy.bsky.social & labour movement built a coalition to democratically set the policy agenda: perspectivesjournal.ca/critical-mass-party/

Last weekend, the Palestine Tribunal, slated to be held at the University of Ottawa was moved last minute to the senate. An organizer and professor at UOttawa claims it’s because of intimidation by the university. Read the whole story here: thefulcrum.ca/news/profess...

For decades, CEOs have been writing the rules. Corporate profits soared while workers' wages stagnated. It’s time to rewrite those rules. My Worker Power Plan puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers. Join our movement to make this plan a reality: RobAshton.ca

Sandy Hill, and the Rideau area are filled with conflict, between students and long-term residents, between social services and some neighbours. I wrote about all those dynamics, and one social service at the centre of it all for the Fulcrum thefulcrum.ca/features/stu...

New in Perspectives: The Ontario NDP Must Invest in Public Nuclear Power "The Ontario NDP needs to be bold in its vision for an electricity grid that powers economic growth and delivers affordable hydro to all Ontarians." From @jameshasaface.bsky.social : perspectivesjournal.ca/ondp-invest-...

I recently published an op-ed about the student housing crisis for the @ottawacitizen.com talking about the high cost of living and what the city can and must do to make Ottawa a place students can afford to live. You can read it at the link below! ottawacitizen.com/opinion/otta...

Does anyone have any good books, papers, or articles on the formation of MORENA

Super excited to be organizing this survey. If you have a heat pump or have a neighbour with a heat pump please fill it out and let them know

“If we’re going to do something about the problem, we need to figure out where our emissions are coming from." Our ED @akellerherzog.bsky.social is in Ottawa Citizen today talking about our petition calling on the City to release their emissions reports. Sign here 👉 bit.ly/OttawaEmissi...

In a recent National Post article, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute argued that climate is no longer a priority for Canadians, so Carney should reverse Trudeau’s climate policies. Let’s dive into who they really are and why they want us to think that Canadians don’t care about climate. 🧵#ClimateSky

Super honoured to have been an editor on this piece. The housing crisis in Ottawa has become untenable, but tenants have also started to organize and tell their stories like I’ve never seen before. Give it a read, and consider organizing your building.

I wrote for @rabble.ca about Bill 33, the Student Choice Initiative, and Doug Ford's war on student organizing. There are massive implications for organizing across the board. Hope you all give it a read! rabble.ca/politics/can...

If We Burn by @vincentbevins.bsky.social is one of the most prescient books for our time. If you haven’t already I encourage you to read it.

I’ve reached 💯 followers! And I don’t even have anything to say.

Love Ottawa love this city councils hatred for its own residents

The marquee at the Mayfair Theatre on Bank Street was not showing a movie Thursday morning, but instead a message about bus lanes.

I had the chance, with UOSU to present to city council about the student housing report I led, and the student housing crisis effecting our city and Canada. You can hear more about it on CBC. Thanks to @jleiper.bsky.social for the opportunity www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

For over a year now I have been working on a comprehensive study of the UOttawa student housing crisis. I’m super proud and hope you are able to give it a read www.seuo-uosu.com/programs/hou...

It’s official @joelharden.bsky.social is the NDP Candidate and future MP for Ottawa Centre. I’m so honoured to be part of a movement that fights for human rights here and abroad, and for the dignity of everyone.

Me af right now

Coming home means the McDonald’s horse hitch being used during a snow squall

Thanks to CBC Ottawa for letting me come on Ottawa Morning and talk about Freeland and the fall economic statement from a young NDPer perspective. If you’re curious you can listen to the clip here: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Catch me on CBC Ottawa Radio tomorrow at 7:35 AM talking about the fall economic statement and Freeland resigning

Bluesky loves tumblr quotes and webcomics

I’m running for re-election to be ONDYs policy director. Last term I successfully hosted our first policy convention in years, I’ve worked with MPPs to push for greater emphasis on left wing policies especially related to climate justice, and I’m excited to continue that work! See you all Jan 16th!

We've heard a lot from Mark Sutcliffe about how the hole in the trasnit budget is a result of other levels of govt shortchanging the city but how did we really get here? Read the latest from me in @theleveller.bsky.social about how this financial mess is the city's own making:

The direction signs on the @senators.bsky.social souvenir cup make no sense geographically

I bring the holiday spirit!

The Ford government has failed to build housing of all kinds, not just affordable housing. And now, instead of investing in housing they’re planning to destroy homeless encampments. This isn’t a solution to the housing crisis, homes are. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can’t wait to fight in the Great Lakes Front of the 2032 American invasion of Canada

I think it’s wrong that a bunch of bluewave resist accounts have come and hijacked Bluesky with engagement farming! Please LIKE and SHARE if you AGREE WITH THE REAL SOCIALIST PATRIOTS who built Bluesky!

Hi hi Bluesky! It's lovely to start again here with you all. A quick intro... I'm here (& everywhere) because we're facing crises on every front: climate, genocide, corporate cartels making a killing by cranking up the cost of everything. So we need solutions, as big as the crises. a longish 🧵

This seems wildly untrue. Writers and figures like @arashtehran.bsky.social regularly criticize this part of the left, often with a large platform

I used to dream of days like this

Here's an #OnPoli must-follow if you care at all about Ontario public policy. The #Ontario Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has entered the Bluesky universe @ccpa-on.bsky.social The best of the best of original economic/policy research & analysis through a progressive lens.

Ottawa Police are claiming that instead of stopping a home invasion, they decided to shut down a peaceful study-in on the UOttawa campus, calling on RBC and UOttawa to divest from fossil fuels and genocide. Are these are the priorities of OPS?

The Waffle was right, millions must become waffle pilled

My questioning of the Air Canada CEO. The lead up to Why? I tabled bill C415 The Unpaid Work Won’t Fly Act. I won’t stop pushing until we close the loopholes in the labour code and ensure Flight Attendants are paid for every hour they are at work. #flightattendant #cabincrew #billc415

Good message but vault boy from fallout boy is not saying that shit

Need to live in Chicago stg

Mayors calling on the Government of Ontario to use the notwithstanding clause to dismantle homeless peoples encampments is despicable. We need to build more publicly owned, social housing, not violently clear encampments. Homes, not hate, are the solution to the homelessness crisis

I love a vol calls phone bank. So chill. Good vibes.

Super proud of this article Alex Stratas and I wrote published by the UOttawa student newspaper The Fulcrum, calling on young people to stop mourning and get organized, or at least get off Instagram. You can read it below! thefulcrum.ca/opinions/don...

What gives you hope for a better future? For us it's the hundreds of young people joining the Ontario NDP, starting youth clubs and fighting to elect a Premier that gives a damn 🍊 💪 @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

ever since reading “Seeking Social Democracy” a little over a year ago, every new thing I learn about Ed Broadbent reaffirms how much of a singular force he was intellectually & politically for Canadian socialism. There’s no one doing it like him.

Bluesky! So nice to finally be here. Look, we have a big challenge ahead of us. Early election. Defeating Ford. Forming government. It won't be easy—but don't let them tell you it can't be done. It can. If you're with me, hit the follow button and let's do this thing!

Follow the raddest politicians in the game! We'll keep updating as more join Bluesky 🍊💪
