Public services aren’t “bailouts”—they’re infrastructure. Rural mail and home delivery are services we depend on, not corporate handouts. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

CTV puts the big question in the headline: coverage of our launch last night. youtu.be/ILborKiaYCU?...

All Canadians are better off when we have a clear alternative to the Liberal-Conservative alliance in parliament.

On m’a demandé comment je peux me présenter à la chefferie sans avoir de siège. Comme tout bon néo-démocrate, j’ai pris inspiration de Jack Layton.

I was asked about how I can run for NDP leader without holding a seat. Like any good New Democrat, I turned to Jack Layton for help.

I had an inspiring weekend at the Ontario NDP convention! Was so energized connecting with organizers from across Ontario. The enthusiasm in those rooms reminded me why we do this work: because together, we can make Canada's governments work better for working people. For the many, not the money.

This weekend, I stood with @opseusefpo.bsky.social Local 243 at Niagara College because college support workers are a backbone of the care economy helping students, providing accessibility services, keeping education accessible. That's what governments must be investing in.

What she said!

"If Canada is going to war, let's go to war against the everyday emergency of just getting by in Canada." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sSM...

Watching @avilewis.ca speak at a local restaurant patio in Niagara (where the Ontario NDP convention is happening) to a full crowd, speaking about wealth inequality and the need for addressing food insecurity. Lewis announced his run for the NDP leadership today.

On a besoin d'un gouvernement qui sert les gens, pas l'argent. Je lancerai ma campagne au Quebec le prochain mois. Embarquez avec nous. choisisavi.ca youtu.be/YTq2ImoMmi0

La vraie crise du Canada, c'est l'urgence quotidienne d'essayer de s'en sortir dans une économie impossible. Je me présente pour diriger le NPD pour qu'on puisse transformer ensemble un système truqué pour les riches. Embarquez avec nous. choisisavi.ca youtu.be/p-tckP3geqY

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

Sometimes, when something really really needs to be said, @lindamcquaig.bsky.social just says it so well. archive.today/q35Kr

I see a surging trade union movement supported by a resurgent federal @ndp.ca. Add a common front of social movements and we could push the Carney-Poilievre alliance off the damaging path they’ve put Canada on. Sec 107 must go! And it’s just the start. #DrawTheLine

What happened after Canadian journalist @rachelgilmore.bsky.social posted about the potential repercussions of Kirk’s murder: doxxing and violent threats thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

King!

We paid $4-$5 billion in illegally fixed prices for BREAD? Criminal charges would send a much clearer message to the Grocery Barons. Or how about breaking up the corporate clubs that price gouge, collude and control every sector of our economy? Broken systems need systemic solutions. #cdnpoli

1/ Israel is committing genocide in Gaza with complete impunity: it has not been challenged. That impunity doesn't stay in Gaza: it's spreading, as Israel defiantly spits on international law. Today Qatar was added to the target list. Anyone could be next. What can Canada do? A lot actually.

1/ We make our stories, and our stories make us. I'm very proud to join so many principled filmmakers in this letter. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Found the union leader of the moment at Labour Day in Burnaby: Mark “Rip It Up” Hancock! Had a chance to thank him for reminding the federal government not to challenge the power of organized workers.

Labour Day 2025 is energized and full of fight! Inspiring organizing by CUPE and flight attendants is powering CUPW with Canada Post. This is what collective power can do. #LabourDay2025 #CanLabour

Labour creates all wealth - true today more than ever, as the billionaire class steals untold millions from our pockets. This Labour Day, celebrate the workers who make Canada better for us all. youtu.be/R8eK9ZXf-Ow?...

Searing words from @jphornick.bsky.social! It's up to all of us to get out and vigorously support unions this fall, build worker power across Canada, and remind everyone who makes this country work! Spoiler: it ain't bankers.

Calling all worker allies to support @unifor.org Local 200. This should be a national issue: keep this plant open! An iconic Canadian whisky bottling plant is moving bottling to the US? Now? No way. Defend Amherstburg, workers and families. We shall not be moved! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a powerful, Indigenous-led climate campaign that I find *really* inspiring!

Breaking! City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism. We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza. But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

🚨 Israel has just killed five more journalists in Gaza. 🚨 We call on Canada, a founding member of the Media Freedom Coalition, to fulfill its obligations under international law. The only way is a full two way arms embargo and sanctions against Israel now #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

The state of Israel has long deployed this demented "double tap" killing tactic in its genocide in Gaza. On par with assassinating famine victims at aid distribution. Canada should be isolating and sanctioning Israel with every tool in the diplomatic and economic arsenal.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

Nothing will change until Israel is isolated on every front, in every way.

This is absolutely enormous! Gratitude to Canada's unions for showing our banker PM he just picked a fight he cannot win. A chance now to build on the united union power that beat Doug Ford over the notwithstanding clause in 2022. There is power in our unions! canadianlabour.ca/canadas-labo...

#UnpaidWorkWontFly ✊🏻 @cupescfp.bsky.social

I’m here at YVR to stand in solidarity with the workers of @cupescfp.bsky.social as they defy the Carney government’s draconian back-to-work order and exercise their right to strike for better pay and work conditions. The energy is electric. The 99% are with the workers today!

The Carney government has badly misjudged the mood of Canadians. People are shocked at the unfairness of unpaid work. It's hitting everyone working their asses off and still struggling with the cost of living. The 99% are with the workers today!

All out to the airport rallies across the country today! Go @cupescfp.bsky.social – the people are behind you. Canadians are fed up with the government and big corporations shaking hands in our pockets!

This is corporate capture of our government on display, the deck stacked against workers at every level. @cupescfp.bsky.social you have the people behind you! Air Canada should be back under public control.

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

Boarding, disembarking, delays: flight attendants work it all unpaid. How is this even allowed? The Liberal government had a rare opportunity last fall - even the Cons recognized how grossly unfair this is. This strike could have been avoided. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

One third of Canadians rent: 5 million households. And one third of those renters spend more than half their income on rent. More than HALF of all those work hours, just to meet the basic need for shelter. This is bonkers! National Rent Control Now. www.ctvnews.ca/business/rea...

🧵 After 7 decades as a journalist, my mom Michele Landsberg is suddenly a post-Zionist protest organizer! It's hard to explain how mind-blowing it is to read this article in the Canadian Jewish News. thecjn.ca/news/women-i...

ICYMI: This piece by @lukewsavage.bsky.social names the political moment in Canada with power and precision. Mark Carney's lurch to the right is endangering us all. Instead of investing in Canadian self-sufficiency, he's deepening integration with the US financial and military model.

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

As Netanyahu launches the final phase of his monstrous plan for Gaza, they are eliminating the few journalist witnesses still left alive. Unbearable that under Carney, Canada can’t manage more than occasional symbolic gestures. Sanctions, weapons ban, real consequences now!

Fierce love filled the streets of Vancouver for Pride this year. Despite many corporations yanking their support in line with Trump's war on diversity, the spirit was strong - & local unions were of course at the heart of it! Pride is a protest! Reminding us that there is joy in the struggle.

CUPE stands in solidarity with US labour leader Chris Smalls and all the activists unlawfully detained by Israel while on board the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social #Handala, delivering aid to Gaza. We condemn this brutality and call for their immediate release. #LetAidIn #AllEyesOnGaza

As the worst people attack Francesca Albanese, the @ndp.ca are nominating her for a Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and @alexboulerice.bsky.social for speaking truth in a time of terror and cowardice. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-int...

There is simply no better summary of the economy of Israel's genocide, the countless threads that bind it to our everyday lives, and our collective responsibility to act than this from Francesca Albanese. I feel like time stopped while I watched this to the end. www.instagram.com/p/DMVnVHsIdOZ/

In a parallel life, I designed political posters. Some of them were pretty damn good. Here’s one of my favourites, for @suebigoil.bsky.social and @avilewis.bsky.social
