2/ Read the full statement from NDP Leader Avi Lewis here: ndp.ca/news/ndp-statement-anniversary-1984-sikh-genocide-1

1/ As we mark the 42nd anniversary of June 1984 and the invasion of the Golden Temple complex, we honour the victims & survivors by standing in solidarity with human rights organizations around the world calling for justice.

1/ Community consultations are absolutely critical, but the choice facing the Prime Minister is clear. Premier Ford is in the middle of a land grab, & the federal government has both the power and the responsibility to stop this irresponsible & anti-democratic move. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

1/ Le gouvernement libéral aurait tout aussi bien pu intituler sa stratégie « L'IA à fond ».

1/ The Liberal government might as well have called its AI strategy “All in for AI”. This is a document that's heavy on hype, but light on the right guardrails that we need to protect people – and to ensure that the benefits of the technology don’t just flow to a handful of tech giants & investors.

An incredible victory for @hamawyfornj.bsky.social. More proof that taking a principled stand on Israel's genocide is not a liability among the working class majority of this continent. Moral clarity is popular. #FreePalestine

1/ June is a time to celebrate community, resilience, and pride—but also a time to recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for liberation for all.

1/ Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.

Mark Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority government through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.

Alberta belongs in Canada. Danielle Smith is playing a dangerous game, giving oxygen and credibility to far right separatists. Albertans deserve better. youtu.be/VCSW5cbNuzo

The preliminary ruling of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal is a sobering reminder that the harms of colonialism are not confined to Canada’s past. (🧵1/4)

1/ Ce qui s’est déroulé à Shawinigan cette fin de semaine est inacceptable. La très grande majorité des Québécois.e.s rejette sans équivoque la vision réactionnaire, intolérante et délirante mise de l’avant par des militants d’extrême droite. www.lapresse.ca/actualites/r...

4/ New Democrats stand with flight attendants today and every day. That's why we're fighting to repeal Section 107 and protect the right to strike once and for all.

1/ On National Flight Attendants' Day, we honour the workers who keep millions of Canadians safe in the skies every single day. Flight attendants have shown us all what courage and determination look like. They took on the country’s biggest airline and defied the federal government — and won.

If only it were this easy.

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

Avi Lewis: "Canada is now living a new chapter of the shock doctrine story. It's also known as the political strategy of flooding the zone. The Carney government right now is pursuing an agenda of shocking scale and speed."

Earlier this week I joined the Association of Palestinian Arab Canadians (APAC) for their 10th annual Palestine on the Hill. Coming together in solidarity with friends new and old to show our support for a free Palestine in condemnation of the horrific genocide that persists. (1/2)

Workers built this country. Not billionaires. Not CEOs. And any attempt by Mark Carney's Liberal government to step on workers' right to strike is a direct attack on the people who keep our country running every single day.

Workers have fought and died for the right to strike. We will not allow this government to take us backwards.

Quand l'un des plus fervents défenseurs du climat au sein du Parti libéral se sent obligé de quitter le caucus pour lutter contre les changements climatiques, cela en dit long sur le sentiment d'urgence du gouvernement à traiter ce dossier. Il n'y en a aucun.

When one of the Liberals’ biggest climate champions feels he must leave the Liberal caucus in order to fight climate change, it says everything you need to know about the government’s sense of urgency on this file. There is none. PM Carney has abandoned climate action at our collective expense.

Another clip from my interview with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. It's important to remember that a lot of people want to see Canada as a country that stands up to the US. But the details matter. They really do.

Tonight, my @ndp.ca Bill C-247 to uphold the right to strike and repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code will be debated in the House of Commons. (1/2)

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

It's time to scrap Section 107! Help us protect the right to strike by adding your name: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107

1/ Today, Muslims across Canada and around the world come together to celebrate Eid al-Adha with families, friends, and neighbours.

“Today, I wish to honour all survivors and intergenerational survivors of residential schools. Your truth needs to be honoured. I stand by you, and uplift you, today and every day,” says Gazan. Read my full Statement on the Fifth Anniversary of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc Announcement:

The Liberals’ pipeline is dividing Canada—and causing some Liberal MPs to run for the hills. And while Carney doubles down on new fossil fuel projects, he’s backsliding on the rights of Indigenous peoples while lining the pockets of the billionaire class, (1/2)

Wonderful and moving post from @halifaxfieldnotes.bsky.social on the NSNDP convention. Mia - thank you for the excellent pics and storytelling!

Pleasure to be interviewed by the great @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. I've been a subscriber to Zeteo since day one!

1/ This latest revelation is further evidence that the MOU between Prime Minister Carney and Premier Smith is a gift to the fossil fuel industry. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

As we witness the escalation of the climate emergency, we must ensure the human rights of all those on the frontlines: Indigenous peoples, working-class communities, and young people who stand to inherit the disastrous consequences of this government’s inability to respond. Read my full statement:

It seems like almost everyone is moving away from fossil fuels... with Canada being an embarrassing exception. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1/ I have huge respect for people with the courage to join the Global Sumud Flotilla. They put their bodies at risk because they do not believe their lives are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians.

This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years. People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

1/ PM Carney’s public service cuts are dismantling food safety in Canada. From food inspectors to agricultural researchers, the government is abandoning workers and the public interest. And tech won’t save us: you can’t algorithm your way out of a listeria outbreak!

(1/4) By now it’s unsurprising that Carney’s Liberals are openly anti-worker, repeatedly caving to corporate interests and violating the right to strike through Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Memo to the global community: Canada has officially abandoned climate action. PM Carney has systematically dismantled all the insufficient policy we had in place. A clear-eyed and devastating piece by my brother, @sethdklein.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New Democrats are outraged by the illegal abduction by Israel of Canadian citizens who were aboard the Perseverance @canadaboatgaza.bsky.social I have contacted the Minister of Foreign Affairs to urge Canada to take action and ensure the safety and release of all Canadians. 1/2

🚫 Our health care is NOT for sale. Last week in my hometown of Winnipeg, 2,000+ union activists at #CLC2026 sent a message to Danielle Smith: no two-tier, American-style health care in 🇨🇦 We are united & ready to defend universal public health care for everyone. canadianlabour.ca/canadas-unio...

Incredible book, author, and resource!

1/ It’s a relief to hear the Prime Minister express some moral outrage over Ben-Gvir’s brutish behaviour, outrage which has been missing during Israel’s attack on Iran, bombardment of Lebanon and ongoing genocide in Gaza.

1/ The Israeli military has detained hundreds of activists who sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade. In the face of unending genocide and impunity, they continue to challenge Israel, to keep the spotlight on ongoing genocide. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

When people can’t afford the necessities of a dignified life, it's the government's job to step up and actually govern.

1/ Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, New Democrats stand proudly with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Canada and around the world.

1/ Cette annonce marque la capitulation officielle du gouvernement Carney face au lobby pétrolier et gazier. www.ledevoir.com/politique/ca...
