What Rachel said. 🧡

Together, we achieved dental care coverage, protections for workers, affordable housing and childcare, a national school food program and more, but there’s so much more to do and we can’t let the Conservatives put these things on the chopping block. Vote early this weekend—it’s easy and fun!

In a country as wealthy as ours, no one should go hungry. That’s why New Democrats will cap the cost of food and essentials.

Lots of orange lawn signs out in Highlands this afternoon. Sign of an organized ground game in Edmonton Griesbach. 🍊🪧 @blakedesjarlais.bsky.social

Donald Trump thought Canada was an easy mark. But we come from a long line of fascist fighters. Canada will not break. We will not bend. We will not kiss the gangster ring. Please share this footage of my Elbows Up tour stop in London. #elbowsup #strongasfuck www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDGm...

Bernie Sanders announces AOC will be joining him on his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour and delivers an important message in a new interview on MeidasTouch.

Israel continues genocide in Palestine: For weeks humanitarian relief has been blocked. Last night massive carpet bombing murdered hundreds of civilians; after repeated violations of the ceasefire. Stop the bombs! Two-way arms embargo now! Humanitarian aide now! End the genocide now! 🕊️

This evening, we gathered w/ friends, community members, & Islamic Relief Canada to share an Iftar meal & support a meaningful cause. Tonight, we came together to give back & uplift those in need Grateful to be part of such a compassionate & generous community #EdmontonManning #NDP #Yeg #CdnPoli

Protect Canadians Guarantee the price of what we grow and need. Cap the price of food and rent.

The Conservative Govt here in Alberta is an insight into the kind of destruction Pierre’s Conservatives want to bring across Canada: A future without: Public Healthcare Affordable Childcare Good union jobs On top of selling out Canada to Trump! In Alberta, we know the cost of Conservatives.

The government just announced high-speed rail in Canada—but through a public-private partnership. Revisit our video which imagines a just future of train travel, one that’s accessible, green, and most importantly, publicly-owned. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MhQ...

The allegations contained in former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos’ statement of claim are absolutely shocking. If these claims are true, this is the worst scandal and biggest cover-up in Alberta’s history. Today, the Premier must fire the Health Minister. /1 🧵

Facebook is flooded with far-right propaganda and billionaire paid Russian bots. Time to bring back the Canadians House Hippo - “don’t believe everything you see on…Facebook”

I have never seen a Conservative politician ever stand with workers on a picket line. When push comes to shove and workers demand fair wages they are NOWHERE to be found.

Canadians pay for income security. It’s called Employment Insurance (EI). But over the decades it’s been left outdated, insufficient & not up to the crisis’ we face today. Workers shouldn’t have to pay for the reckless decisions of American Billionaires. We need an EI system that works!

Tomorrow! Come join us for a demonstration in St. Albert, in response to the hateful protestors who were there last weekend. Community is stronger with diversity and love. ✊️🌈🧡🏳️‍⚧️🕺 #PrideCorner #LoveWins

The cowardly Neo-Nazi display in St. Albert this weekend is not an isolated event. Far-right wing organizations have been mobilizing to destroy our core values of tolerance, respect and decency by dividing us with hate. My friends, Canada defeated facism before, and we will defeat it again.

Trumps say he doesn’t need Canadian goods or resources - even after Conservatives begged and flattered him. Time to get tough on Trump and BUILD UP CANADA. 1) Invest in our own industries 2) Make value added products 3) Create good paying Canadian jobs 4) Reform Employment Insurance

Well, well, well... Looks like Trump's guest list of grifters is full and Premier Danielle Smith didn't make the cut. After weeks of undermining our nation Danielle has to take refuge at the CANADIAN EMBASSY to watch it all on TV. Surely there's a Starbucks with the screen on that she could use.

We must see a ceasefire now. Every moment that goes by without a ceasefire is another moment innocent life will be lost.

The extremism of Poilievre is increasingly being exposed to Canadians. He wants to gut health care, destroy programs that help people, and give even more to Billionaires & the wealthy. Poilievre's Musk, Peterson backing about as helpful as a KKK endorsement open.substack.com/pub/tparkin/... #NDP

It's hard to imagine a more brutal illustration of climate injustice and a failed society than indentured teenage slaves being used to protect the homes of wealthy Americans.

Right wing Tech bro billionaires aren’t just an American problem…

Now can we talk about who’s breaking the country? Making life unaffordable, giving our jobs to AI, gouging us for a home and destroying our planet? Spoiler alert - it’s Billionaires and the politicians they pay for.

Today is my 31st birthday! 🥳 What do I want? The opportunity to continue representing the great folks of Edmonton Griesbach in Parliament after the next election. Can you help me make my birthday wish come true by donating $31, $62 or $123 at the link below? actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Rent is through the roof and renters live in fear of being kicked out by corporate landlords claiming renovations are needed when they just want to jack up the rent between tenants. The system is rigged and New Democrats are ready to rewrite the rules to make life easier for renters.

The United States of today looks more like an Oligarchy than a Democracy. Never before in US history have billionaires & CEOs held so much wealth & power. Worse yet, they have a President Elect calling us the 51st state. That isn’t diplomacy that’s bullying. Canada must be a beckon of democracy.

Liberals are imploding on the eve of a trade war with American Billionaires. Conservatives are salivating at the chance to take power for those same Billionaires. Fellow Canadians, we must have the courage to unite and stand up for Canada. For our jobs, for better wages, and for our democracy.

Jobs, wages, and our democracy are all at risk. It’s clear that the Liberals are too weak & too divided to stand up to American billionaires & Conservatives are already in Trumps pocket. Big CEOs & Con/Lib insiders have had their govts. It’s about time the people got theirs.

Last week, in bill 34, the UCP exempted political staffers from access to information act. Yesterday, the UCP exempted political staffers from conflict of interest rules. Now, Albertans have no mechanism to know backroom deals on taxpayers money. What’s next? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Thank you Zipp Neufeld for testifying in committee about the rise of hate and extremism against #2SLGBTQIA+ communities and calling on Canadian leaders to stand up for trans youth! You are a warrior! You are powerful! Please watch and learn from Zipp: youtu.be/Vs2mff0xbh4

How heartless can Conservative MPs be? They aim to cut the #NDP Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and Pharmacare Program, blocking dental care for 3,700 constituents and essential medications for 17,000 in each Conservative riding. Heartless.

Indigenous Services Canada says it has no timeline to address a backlog of approximately 140,000 requests for Jordan's Principle, including approximately 25,000 self-identified urgent cases.

Beyond unacceptable. This backlog represents a critical failure to ensure Indigenous kids get the support they need. It risks many falling through the cracks.

Indigenous Services Canada says it has a backlog of approximately 140,000 requests for Jordan's Principle – and no timeline to address it. For more on the backlog, APTN News spoke with Cindy Blackstock from the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society.

New Democrats are fighting to make sure postal workers get an important Christmas gift - a fair deal. Solidarity. ✊🏽

Today, in our housing committee, I told the head of CMHC that they need to get back to their original mandate of helping people buy a home not just giant corporations buying up affordable housing and tearing it down to build luxury towers. #portmoody #coquitlam
