Thank you to my colleague @loriidlout.bsky.social for raising this critical issue in Question Period. Pimicikamak remains in a state of emergency while the government is failing to act. When will they fulfill their constitutional duty of care and help people return safely to their homes?

The difference between the president and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion. He lacks both of those things.

Nunavut’s premier delivered a clear message to a conference on Arctic security Wednesday in Ottawa saying that Canada must pay attention to the needs of Nunavummiut as it plans its strategic defence of the North.

It has been ten years since the final report was released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Now, the Assembly of First Nations are calling on all levels of government and institutions to renew their commitment to the 94 calls to action.

Today marks 10 years since the release of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, an invaluable record of the crimes and injustices committed through the residential school system.

Landmark legal decision has affirmed that Canada owes a legally binding fiduciary duty to provide adequate on-reserve housing. The ruling is being viewed as a huge victory for more than 100 First Nations across the country. For more Truth & Politics:

(1/2) Thank you so much to Equal Voice for inviting me to share my advice as a Member of Parliament to our future women and gender diverse leaders.

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand. Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We remember you.

The Liberals are telling Canadians to sacrifice during a jobs crisis. They have no money to sign pharmacare agreements or meet their housing promises, but they found half a billion dollars to reward companies that just eliminated 4,000 Canadian jobs.

Calling out each and every BC Liberal MP: are you going to stand with BC, our coastal waters, communities and Indigenous nations or support PM Carney as he tramples over these, puts our economy at risk and deepens the climate crisis?

Alarming CBC reporting shows Canadian-branded weapons ending up with Sudan’s RSF — a force accused of mass atrocities. Did the PM raise this while signing a trade pact in the region? Canadians need answers. The Liberals must launch a full investigation and close the loopholes now.

Millions of Canadians are struggling. Yet the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers, while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations. New Democrats have a better plan: positive, constructive policies to build a stronger, fairer Canada.

BIG THANKS to you MP Kwan for this important legislative initiative, & thanks to all the other MPs who supported the #nomoreloopholes Bill-233 at 2nd reading! @leahgazan.bsky.social @loriidlout.bsky.social @beynate.bsky.social & others! For a full #ArmsEmbargoNOW! armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopho...

Member of Parliament, Leah Gazan, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney last Thursday, urging the government to ensure the safety of wildfire evacuees, especially women and girls at high risk of violence.

Jack Layton passed away 14 years ago today. Jack would have been Canada’s first NDP Prime Minister, and he left us a united, bilingual, national party. In the wake of the worst election in our movement’s history, we have an obligation to honour Jack’s strong legacy by rebuilding.

i just got an Access to Information request I made 5 years ago. The federal ATIP laws and process need serious updating and overhauling to improve efficiency.

The murder of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza is another reminder of how little the Israeli Defence Force cares about international law as it continues committing genocide in Gaza. That’s because Netanyahu and IDF leaders know their allies won’t push back. (1/3)
