Do you want a water boy or a fighter?

It’s shameful to see the Liberals cut $5 billion from transit across the country. While cutting taxes for American Big Tech firms, they hurt working Canadians with job cuts and deteriorating public services. This isn’t building ‘Canada Strong’ - it’s selling us out. atucanada.ca/news/atu-can...

Grateful to have the support of Nanaimo-Duncan District Labour Council. Workers and unions across the country are joining our movement to bring the NDP to working class communities from coast to coast to coast!

I’m honoured to have the endorsement of @ufcwcanada.bsky.social, representing workers in retail, grocers, healthcare, hospitality and more across this country. Together, we will rebuild this party and put it in the hands of working people.

Glad to see @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social speaking clearly about what voters already know. When Parliament does not reflect how people vote, democracy suffers. Proportional representation is the fix.

Solidarity! Strong federal public services keep decision making in Canadian hands. We must reverse these cuts to good paying, stable jobs that support working families.

It seems every other day there's another round of mass layoffs by employers who cite "AI" as the reason. Today it's at union-busting Amazon. It's reported that they're firing 16,000 workers. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

I’m proud to have an endorsement from the great Shadow Minister for Labour, Ontario MPP @jamiewestndp.bsky.social!

Wow! What an honor to receive the endorsement of my friend and @clcpresident.bsky.social, Bea Bruske! Only 24 hours to sign up to vote to bring back the NDP to its roots: act.ndp.ca/donate/membe...

Canadians need relief now. This announcement is a step in the right direction. But without a price cap on essentials, there’s serious risk this money just pads the profit margins of big corporations instead of lowering prices for families. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

🚨LIVE AT 11:00AM ET TOMORROW🚨 @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social is running for NDP leader -- and he wants the party to eat the rich. But is that the flavour the party is hungry for? He's the worker's worker -- and he joins me on Bubble Pop! GET NOTIFIED: youtube.com/live/IVe3Ph2...

I’m looking forward to visiting Burnaby on Jan 20 for a community forum with Doris Alcantara! As a longshore worker, I have spent my life standing up for people. I believe the NDP needs to return to its roots and speak the language of the communities it serves. actionnetwork.org/events/burna...

Grateful to have the endorsement of Suzy Hansen, MLA for Halifax Needham. Suzy is a strong, principled leader for her community, and her support truly means a lot to me. Thank you! ✊

Today’s trade announcement needed to include a Canada-China Auto Pact. Selling in Canada means producing in Canada. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again!

Looking forward to being in Regina this week, hearing from workers and talking about real issues and real solutions.

Great to meet Rob Ashton today and hear him speak about the future of our country with hope and optimism. We have some stellar NDP leadership candidates. Renew or start your membership no later than January 28th to vote!

Yesterday’s StatsCan report confirmed what workers already know: unemployment is rising, and good jobs are vanishing. This isn’t an accident. It’s the result of governments that hand out billions to CEOs and shrug when workers get laid off.

It was a real pleasure to meet some of the workers at Irving Shipbuilding while in Halifax. Over the past decade, Irving has grown from hundreds of workers to well over 2,000 good, family-supporting jobs today, thanks to Canada choosing to build ships here at home.

Not ideal conditions for filming, but this message couldn’t wait. @ubisoftcanada.bsky.social — you should be ashamed of yourself. Our campaign stands in solidarity with the workers in Halifax

I'm heading back to Ontario folks! Stop by and join our movement to put the NDP back in the hands of working people. RSVP at the link in my bio!

This Sunday, Jan 11 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, I will be answering your questions with my campaign team. Ask me anything about my vision for the NDP, building the movement, and why I am running. www.reddit.com/r/ndp/s/CnzP...

Real leadership stands with people, not power. No country has the right to threaten or take another’s land. Greenland’s future belongs to the people who live there— full stop. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Trump’s unilateral military strike on Venezuela is a dangerous escalation that tramples international law, undermines sovereignty, and sets a perilous precedent for global order. We need diplomacy, not reckless intervention.

AI is being used to strip workers, women, children, artists, and communities of their autonomy. Meanwhile Mark Carneys AI Minister, is more interested in rubbing shoulders with tech billionaires than regulating. Our NDP will take on AI with people-first policy.

It’s time to fight corporate greed. This is my plan to make the economy fairer for working people!

The food we eat isn’t meant for human health anymore, it’s meant for profit. They break our bodies at work, fill our lives with AI-generated algorithms meant to dumb us down, and feed us slop at home. It’s time to fight back. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

For the first time ever, Canadian men past retirement age are making more than young men do Our good jobs plan, getting young folks working in the trades, healthcare, the arts, and every sector, makes sure they aren’t left behind

If you won’t pay workers a fair wage, don’t expect the government to help you exploit other people.

Honoured to have the support and endorsement of Mike Farnworth, MLA for Port Coquitlam. A lifelong community champion with a deep commitment to delivering for people.

Corporations exploit the TFW/LMIA system to drive down wages and working conditions for all Canadian workers. This program enables modern-day indentured slavery, and every life lost shows the human cost of corporate greed. That’s why it needs to be abolished. Kill a worker. Go to jail.

Honoured to have the support and endorsement of @mtaylorndp.bsky.social, former longtime MPP for Hamilton Mountain. A working-class fighter who came from waiting tables to Queens park before earning her seat in office.✊

Devastating to hear about the fatal collapse at the K3 underground mine in Esterhazy. My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of the victim. We must always put worker safety first, no exceptions. Tragic events like this remind us why enforcing Westray law is essential.

I’m beyond honoured to have the endorment of SEIU local 2 and it’s members. These folks, workers from across Canada, keep this country running sector to sector.

I’m heartbroken by the reports of a terrorist attack in Australia. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone whose lives have been shaken by this violence. There is no excuse for terrorism. There is no place for antisemitism or any form of hate. Full stop.

"The NDP has lost trust, not because its values have changed, but because it has failed to communicate them clearly and consistently." @christoaivalis.bsky.social speaks with @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social about rebuilding the NDP from the working class up.

Our campaign is about building a movement that reaches every corner of Canada, and I’m grateful when leaders step forward to join us. I’m honoured to have the endorsement of @georgeandersonbc.bsky.social, MLA for Nanaimo-Lantzville.

I’m honoured to have the endorsement of the @uswmetallos.bsky.social, the largest private-sector union in Canada. Together we will rebuild this party for the working class and protect workers from sector to sector to sector.

This is what I'm doing with my Sunday. #NDP #ashton

How do you scare the ruling class? By organizing a movement that can fight them - and win. We’re hosting a National Organizing call on November 30th at 3PM and we need you, and your friends there!

What the heck Carney is thinking? BC and the impacted nations have spoken, lifting the tanker ban is not on. Hell will freeze over before it is lifted. Those decisions can’t be stitched together between Carney and Smith alone. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Canada’s housing crisis isn’t random. It’s the result of decades of decisions that put profits ahead of people. My plan treats it like what it is: a class war over who housing is for. Read the full plan at robashton.ca/housing #NDP #Rob4Leader

For decades, CEOs wrote 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.

Mark Carney’s budget is a win for the rich and a loss for workers. Cuts to services, good jobs on the line, and more banker-class politics.

Great night at our social event yesterday at BC NDP Convention — more than 150 people packed the room. All weekend, I was proud to stand with New Democrats who show up, who organize, and who fight to build a province and a country who work for people, not billionaires.

It’s nice to be in rooms full of people who genuinely care about each other & our collective future. I met @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social today at the BC NDP convention 🙂 The fed NDP have a lot of rebuilding to do to earn back people’s trust & their votes. The future only changes when we show up.

THIS is the kind of actual policy the NDP needs

For too long, this country has worked for the few at the top while the people who actually build it are told to tighten their belts. Politicians call it “the economy." Working people call it what it is: a system rigged for the rich. That’s why I’m proud to unveil my Good Jobs Promise:

I’m sick of these corporations getting millions in subsidies and then leaving us behind. I’m proud to stand in solidarity with Unifor workers fighting for their livelihoods ✊ lfpress.com/news/local-n...
