This is a dangerous and irresponsible response. Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong. Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

Se réjouir de l’enlèvement illégal d’un chef d’État étranger et célébrer la prise de contrôle d’un autre pays par les États-Unis est irresponsable et dangereux. Le Canada ne peut pas choisir quand le droit international s’applique. Sinon, les règles ne protègent personne.

Trump’s administration has decided the rules no longer apply - U.S. or international law. Justice does not come from force. It comes from accountability under international law. Maduro’s repression does not justify these actions and Canada must not tolerate any violations of international law.

A lovely afternoon spent with Jasvir Deol and Gurtej Singh-Brar - NDP MLAs for Edmonton-Meadows & Edmonton-Ellerslie - visiting with folks at the North Edmonton Senior Citizens Recreation Society. Great conversations, lots of smiles, & a reminder of how special it is to spend time with community.

Les PDG touchent des salaires records et évitent les impôts grâce à des échappatoires fiscales. Seulement 5 femmes figurent parmi les 100 PDG les mieux payés au Canada - le même nombre d’hommes prénommés Scott Le système est truqué. Ensemble, on peut le changer. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/221...

Fancy tax dodges for the ultra-rich. CEO pay exploding. Only 5 women in the top 100 CEO list - same as the number of men named Scott. The system’s rigged. Together, we can change it. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

As an experienced nurse, healthcare instructor, and rural Albertan, Doug brings a deeply informed perspective on how the federal government must fund, protect, and grow a Canadian healthcare system that puts people first.

Infirmier expérimenté, formateur en santé et Albertain rural, Doug apporte une perspective profondément éclairée sur la manière dont le gouvernement fédéral doit financer, protéger et développer un système de santé canadien qui place les gens au premier plan.

Saskatchewan, I’m going to be coming to different cities near you early this month. Come drop by to talk about rebuilding our movement in the prairies.

New year, same belief. People deserve a fair deal and a party that will fight for it. youtube.com/shorts/woQs2...

Michelle is new to the party, but she has spent decades committed to public and community service. She is a leader who brings people together and delivers for those who need it most. Thank you, Michelle, for your faith, your support, and your endorsement.

A little fondue, a little raclette, a little hockey, and some cuddles with my pups…pretty perfect new year’s eve in my neck of the woods. I hope your new year’s celebrations are everything you love too. HNY everyone!

This race feels different because it is. The deal working people were promised is broken. Rebuilding the NDP means standing with people again. That’s why I’m running.

Protest cookies are a staple in my house. Perfect for the holidays and on picket lines. Real change doesn’t happen alone. It happens when people come together, in kitchens and in communities.

Chez moi, les biscuits de protestation font partie du quotidien. On les prépare pendant les Fêtes, et on les apporte aussi sur les lignes de piquetage. Les vrais changements se font ensemble, dans les cuisines et dans les communautés.

This one means a lot. Dawn knows what it takes to lead and what it takes to win. She also understands, deeply, how important it is for the federal party to work with our provincial partners, not against them. I’m honoured to have her support and grateful for her insight.

Cet appui compte énormément pour moi. Dawn a dirigé, elle a gagné, et elle comprend à quel point il est essentiel que le parti fédéral travaille main dans la main avec nos équipes provinciales. Je suis honorée de pouvoir compter sur son appui et reconnaissante de ses conseils.

Now is the moment to rebuild the NDP. I’ve done the work, I know how to win, and I’m ready to lead! Make your year-end donation now at heathermcpherson.ca/donate

From my family to yours - Merry Christmas!

The grocery aisles are packed with last-minute shoppers, and too many families are feeling the squeeze this holiday season. Together, we can make groceries more affordable. 🎄 Price caps on essentials 🎄 Remove the GST from basics 🚫 Rein in grocery monopolies that keep prices high

Flashback to Christmases past! Found some old Christmas photos and I have thoughts about some of the fashion choices. 😂

What a wonderful gift to receive on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

Alors que les gouvernements coupent dans le financement et s’attaquent au système de santé canadien tel que nous le connaissons, le leadership du Dr Rod Wilson et son engagement envers des investissements concrets en santé publique rendent son soutien particulièrement précieux. Merci, Rod

At a time when governments are cutting funding and attacking Canadian healthcare as we know it, Dr. Rod Wilson's leadership and commitment to investment in public health make his support especially meaningful. Thank you, Rod.

So grateful for Linda Duncan’s endorsement. Linda has an incredible record of principled leadership, and she’s the one who encouraged me to step forward and run. I truly wouldn’t be in politics without her support and belief in me. Honoured to have her by my side.

Je suis profondément reconnaissante de recevoir l’appui de Linda Duncan. Linda a un parcours impressionnant de leadership guidé par ses principes, et c’est elle qui m’a encouragée à me lancer en politique. C’est un honneur de l’avoir à mes côtés.

This week on the campaign trail put a spotlight on workers’ rights and human rights, two issues that have always been at the heart of our movement and our party. It was a week centred in solidarity, compassion, and connection… and a little holiday cheer. open.substack.com/pub/heatherm...

Du service public à son engagement bénévole, Bob a consacré sa vie à servir sa communauté et à soutenir ceux qui l’entourent. C’est un honneur d’avoir son soutien

From public service to charity work, Bob has committed his life to serving his community and lifting up those around him. It’s a honour to have his support.

Day 2 at #RIS2025 in Toronto is a wrap. I’m leaving energized by the commitment people shared to justice and solidarity. Change doesn’t happen on its own. It happens when communities come together, stay hopeful, and keep fighting for rights, dignity, and fairness for everyone.

I’m honoured to be endorsed by Joe Ceci, a leader who has dedicated more than 30 years to strengthening communities in Calgary and across Alberta. Joe knows what it takes to stand up for public services, defend what matters, and build bridges across communities. Thank you, Joe.

Je suis touchée d’être appuyée par Joe Ceci, un leader qui a consacré plus de 30 ans à soutenir les communautés de Calgary et de toute l’Alberta. Joe sait ce qu’il faut pour défendre les services publics, protéger ce qui compte et créer des ponts entre les communautés. Merci, Joe.

So good to be back in Oshawa, catching up with long-time members and signing up new ones. People here have already built what it takes to beat Conservatives provincially. And together, I know we can rebuild the federal party, to reconnect with workers and families, and win here federally too.

First day at #RIS2025 in Toronto. Grateful to be part of conversations grounded in faith, compassion, and responsibility in challenging times, including rising Islamophobia, safety, the cost of living & human rights in Canada & around the world. If you’re here tomorrow & see me, please come say hi.

Kitchener Centre était bien présent. Salle comble, et une longue discussion réfléchie sur les enjeux qui comptent le plus pour les familles et les travailleuses et travailleurs. Un immense merci à toutes celles et ceux qui sont venus. C’est comme ça qu’on bâtit le changement dont on a besoin.

Kitchener Centre showed up. Standing room only and a long, thoughtful conversation about the issues that matter most to families and working people. So grateful for everyone who came out, stayed, and shared their stories. This is how we build the kind of change we need.

À titre de présidente, Donna a fait preuve d’un leadership déterminé et n’a jamais reculé devant les combats difficiles. Encore aujourd’hui, elle continue de s’engager avec le même courage et la même conviction. Je lui suis reconnaissante de son appui et de sa solidarité.

As President, Donna was a determined leader and never backed down from a hard fight for workers. Even now, she still shows up with the same courage and conviction. I’m grateful for her support and solidarity

I had a great conversation today with the @oflabour.bsky.social on healthcare, the use of the notwithstanding clause and rebuilding the NDP with workers Workers are the backbone of this country and standing with them means protecting their rights and wellbeing. Change starts with us.

We have an obligation to Canadians and to our democracy to try to win. It’s not my goal to be the conscience of Parliament. It’s not my goal to stand in the corner yelling into the abyss. I want to get more New Democrats elected.

Anita’s activism is grounded in values, community, and hard work. I’m grateful to have her in my corner. // L'activisme d'Anita repose sur des valeurs, la communauté et le travail acharné. Je suis reconnaissante de l'avoir à mes côtés.

The Alberta gov’t is using the notwithstanding clause to attack trans youth & the PM has the ability to stop it. He has constitutional tools. If he refuses to use them, he is choosing political convenience over the safety & rights of trans kids. I’ve written Mark Carney calling on him to act now.
