Since January 2024, only 886 people have arrived under the Gaza TRV program — while 4,500 applications remain in limbo. Loved ones are still in danger. This is unacceptable. 📺 Watch the press conference: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Today I joined Gazan Canadians, families & allies to call for urgent action on the Gaza TRV program. Families remain trapped in life-threatening conditions as applications stall. Canada must act now. 📺 Watch: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Statement from MP Jenny Kwan, said that none of NDP’s MPs participated in the standing ovation. Kwan denounces political violence, but “anyone with a platform should always be mindful that political rhetoric that is incendiary, racist and dehumanizing is unacceptable.” thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

Loopholes in Canada’s arms export laws allow weapons & parts made here to end up in conflict zones like Gaza & Yemen via the U.S. My bill would stop this. Full press conference: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Canadian-made weapons should never fuel war, repression, or attacks on civilians. My bill ensures exports are transparent, accountable & in line with our Arms Trade Treaty obligations. Details here: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Today I tabled a bill to close dangerous loopholes in Canada’s arms export laws. 🇨🇦 must not be complicit in human rights abuses abroad. Watch my press conference here: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

I was joined by @OxfamQuebec, @CJPME, @IndJewishVoices & @CMPACanada in calling for action to end Canada’s complicity in human rights abuses through arms exports. Watch here: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Carney has no mandate for $150B+ in NATO spending to appease Trump. That’s more than Canada transfers to provinces for healthcare. Invest in housing & social programs, not austerity cuts. 🇨🇦 deserves sovereignty—not Trump’s agenda. #cdnpoli #NATO www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/12/n...

Bill C-2 is a deeply flawed bill. It hands the govt sweeping new surveillance powers & threatens Canadians’ privacy. It would even let law enforcement demand info—w/out a warrant—on whether you’ve seen a doctor, psychiatrist, or other providers. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

7/ This is not the Canada I know. This is not the Canada Canadians voted for. I call on every MP to vote against Bill C-2 and send this dangerous legislation back to the drawing board. #cdnpoli #StopBillC2 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

6/ Communities want safety & secure borders. We already have the tools—warrants, court orders, oversight—that protect rights while ensuring safety. Bill C-2 rips away those safeguards. That’s not how democracy works. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

5/ Refugees and asylum seekers are under attack in Bill C-2. The law would deny hearings, block claims, and echo Trump’s asylum policies. Canada should be a refuge—not a place that turns desperate people away. #cdnpoli #RefugeesWelcome 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

4/ Civil liberties groups across Canada are sounding the alarm: ❌ Charter rights at risk ❌ Warrantless surveillance ❌ Foreign data-sharing ❌ Refugees shut out This isn’t border security. It’s the road to a surveillance state. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

3/ Bill C-2 opens the door to U.S. access to Canadians’ data. In a post-Roe America, where abortion & LGBTQ2IA+ rights are under attack, this is profoundly dangerous. Canadians must not have their personal medical records exposed to foreign governments. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

2/ The Liberals’ Bill C-2 makes Harper’s Bill C-51 look tame. It hands sweeping new powers to police & CSIS—without warrants or oversight. Doctors, banks, landlords, even psychiatrists could be forced to share personal data. This is surveillance creep. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

1/ Bill C-2, the so-called “Strong Borders Act,” isn’t about safety. It’s about normalizing surveillance, criminalizing migration, and attacking Canadians’ privacy and Charter rights. We cannot allow this government power grab to pass. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

5/ Women should never be forced to choose between career, health, and their child’s citizenship rights. Yet that’s exactly what Harper’s citizenship law did. Bill C-3 is about correcting this injustice. #cdnpoli #C3 www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_bill...

4/ Citizenship is a birthright, not something you “earn back.” Canadians born abroad are no less Canadian. Bill C-3 restores fairness and brings our laws in line with the Charter. www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_bill...

3/ Conservatives filibustered every attempt to fix Canada’s unconstitutional citizenship laws—causing delay after delay. Families are separated, children rendered stateless. Enough. Let’s pass Bill C-3 now. #cdnpoli #C3 www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_bill...

2/ 170,000 Canadian women born abroad face discrimination because of Harper’s 2009 law. They’re forced to choose between family, health, safety, and their children’s citizenship. That’s unacceptable. Bill C-3 must pass. #cdnpoli

1/ Canada’s citizenship laws have been unconstitutional for years. Conservatives stripped away the right of Canadians born abroad to pass citizenship to their children—leaving some kids stateless. Bill C-3 is about fixing this injustice. #cdnpoli #C3

4/ My op-ed published today as Parliament reconvenes: Canadians didn’t elect Liberal red to get Conservative blue. The NDP will fight for public health care, strong services, Indigenous rights & a Canada that puts people before profits. ✊ 📖 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

3/ My op-ed published today as Parliament reconvenes: The price will be paid by Indigenous communities, seniors, people with disabilities, newcomers, women, artists & more. We’ve seen this before in the 1990s—and Canadians are still paying the price. 📖 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

2/ My op-ed published today as Parliament reconvenes: Carney’s plan = austerity to fund 5% GDP in military spending. That means 7.5–15% cuts across gov’t depts, 57,000 public service jobs gone, health care squeezed & pharmacare stalled. 📖 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

1/ My op-ed published today as Parliament reconvenes: Canadians voted to stand up to Trump. Instead, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social is caving in—with Trump-style border measures, privacy violations & deep cuts to services. The honeymoon is over. 📖 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Yesterday on Parliament Hill, I announced my plan to bring forward a Private Members’ Bill to close Canada’s arms-export loophole via the U.S. This loophole has allowed Canadian weapons to fuel human rights abuses abroad. Watch my full press conference:

Shocking to see Ottawa routinely invoking Section 107 to break strikes—sidestepping Parliament and undermining workers’ Charter-protected right to collectively bargain. We must stop this abuse of power. I’m exploring real legislative fixes. thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

Canadians don’t want their country complicit in war crimes. Closing this loophole is not optional—it’s a moral imperative. I’ll table my bill when Parliament resumes in September. 6/6 #cdnpoli #HumanRights

Canada signed the Arms Trade Treaty in 2019—but loopholes and half-measures from Liberal governments have made those commitments meaningless. My bill will change that. 5/6

These are not just numbers. These are weapons used against civilians in Gaza and in conflicts around the world. Every bullet exported makes 🇨🇦 complicit. 4/6

📊 The scale of the problem is staggering: • 47+ shipments of Canadian parts to Israeli arms firms (Oct 2023–Jul 2025) • 421,070 bullets exported to Israel, incl. 175,000 in April 2025 alone • 391 shipments of weapons/components in < 2 years. 3/6

Despite promises, Canadian-made weapons, bullets & components keep flowing into the world’s deadliest conflicts—often via the U.S.—including to Israel for use in Gaza & the West Bank. This must end. 2/6

Today I announced I will introduce a Private Member’s Bill to finally close Canada’s arms export loophole fueling global human rights abuses. Enough is enough. 🇨🇦 must not be complicit in war crimes. 1/6 #cdnpoli #StopArmsExports

A tentative agreement is now on the table — that’s a good step. But the fight isn’t over. We show up. We speak out. We stand in solidarity. Because workers’ rights are human rights. 4/4 #cdnpoli #WorkersRights #AirCanadaStrike

Collective bargaining isn’t a privilege. It’s a right — protected by Canadian law and international labour standards. The government should protect workers, not corporate profits. 3/4 #UnionStrong #AirCanadaStrike #SolidarityForever

Flight attendants aren’t paid until the plane door closes. They help passengers board — unpaid. Wait through delays — unpaid. This is exploitation, not “standard practice.” These workers deserve a fair contract. 2/4 #AirCanadaStrike #FairPayNow #CUPE

Yesterday I stood with striking @aircanada.bsky.social flight attendants at YVR. Less than 24hrs later, the @mark-carney.bsky.social Liberals crushed their right to strike using Section 107 — a shameful, heavy-handed move that amounts to union busting. 1/3 #AirCanadaStrike #cdnpoli #WorkersRights

Financialized landlords like Kyle Pulis—who boasts $2B in assets—aren’t in housing to help people. They let buildings rot, push tenants out, and hike rents to boost profits. Housing is a human right, not a profit machine. #StopRenovictions #HousingCrisis www.chch.com/chch-news/mo...

Rogers walked away from the table. Stalled bargaining. Flew in out-of-province strikebreakers. All while raking in profits & bragging on TV. If they can afford stock buybacks, they can afford to treat workers with dignity. 2/2 #USW1944 #UnionStrong #StopUnionBustING

Rogers made $5.2 BILLION last quarter. They own the Leafs, the Raptors, and luxury boxes. But when 25 Fraser Valley techs ask for fair wages? They say no. This isn’t just a contract fight — it’s people vs. profit. 1/2 #FairPayNow #USW1944 #Solidarity

I again urge the Canadian government to: 🟣 Call for Jimmy Lai’s humanitarian release 🟣 Grant him honorary Canadian citizenship The time to act is now. His life is at stake. 3/3 #FreeJimmyLai #HumanRights #cdnpoli @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social

Jimmy Lai is a champion of press freedom with deep ties to Canada. His health is declining, and he is enduring a sham trial. Canada must lead on human rights and democracy — and not stay silent in the face of authoritarianism. 2/ #cdnpoli #StandWithHongKong @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social

Since crackdown on HK’s freedoms in 2019, peaceful protestors, journalists & pro-democracy leaders have been jailed under China’s National Security Law — including 77-year-old Jimmy Lai, founder of Apple Daily. He’s spent nearly 1700 days behind bars. 1/ @mark-carney.bsky.social #FreeJimmyLai

Until new affordable housing is built under Canada Homes, stop the bleeding. No more mass evictions. No more rent gouging. Protect renters across Canada — before it’s too late. 🏠 4/ #cdnpoli #HousingIsAHumanRight @gregorrobertson.bsky.social

@gregorrobertson.bsky.social — here’s what needs to happen: 🚫 Ban corporate takeovers: moratorium on residential buys by big financial landlords 🤝 Fund communities: national fund for non-profits, co-ops, land trusts to buy rental buildings 📉 Control rents: bring back national vacancy control 3/

Housing is a human right — not a quick-profit scheme for big finance. We can’t let firms — like the ones PM @mark-carney.bsky.social used to work for — keep treating homes as chips in a casino while families get pushed out. 2/ @gregorrobertson.bsky.social #cdnpoli #HousingCrisis

Hey @gregorrobertson.bsky.social — renters need protection NOW. A new @uwaterloo.ca study shows financial landlords (REITs, big property firms, asset managers) evict nearly 1 in 9 tenants each year. That’s mass displacement. 1/ #cdnpoli #HousingCrisis

A former U.S. soldier working in Gaza told the BBC: “I witnessed war crimes… I’ve never seen such brutality and indiscriminate force used against a starving, unarmed civilian population.” 5/ #GazaCrisis #HumanRights @mark-carney.bsky.social

Canada must also close the re-export loophole that allows weapons to flow to Israel through the U.S. This is a matter of moral urgency and international law. 4/ #ArmsEmbargo #GazaUnderAttack @mark-carney.bsky.social

We renew our call for Canada to: • Facilitate an immediate ceasefire • Recognize the State of Palestine • Demand the release of all hostages • Protect all civilians • Enforce a two-way arms embargo on Israel. 3/ #FreePalestine #CDNpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social
