Immigrants, refugees, caregivers & students built this country. We need an immigration policy based on fairness, dignity & opportunity — not cuts and scapegoating. 4/

Family reunification is being gutted: parent & grandparent level cut by 29%. Hong Kong Pathway applicants face decade-long waits. These families deserve compassion — not endless separation. 3/

Permanent resident admissions will drop from 500,000 to 380,000. Temporary residents — workers, students, families — cut by 25%. International student numbers slashed almost in half. These cuts will devastate communities, jobs, and post-secondary institutions. 2/

The Liberal government’s new immigration levels plan is a disappointing retreat from Canada’s history as a welcoming, inclusive country. Instead of strengthening families and communities, it closes doors and divides people. 1/

Good news! The Liberals backed the NDP’s amendments to delete the Conservatives’ proposed restrictions on birthright citizenship in Bill C-3. This is a victory for fairness, inclusion, and Lost Canadians who’ve waited far too long for justice. #LostCanadians www.ipolitics.ca/2025/11/03/l...

Arts & culture fuel our soul and our economy — contributing $65B to Canada’s GDP and $17B in tax revenue. Yet the Liberals are planning deep cuts, rolling back funding to 2007 levels. I asked the Minister: will the government scrap these cuts and support Canadian artists? #cdnpoli #arts

Renters are being gouged by corporate landlords with rent hikes of 30%, 40%—even 50%. Canadians can’t wait years for affordability. We need national vacancy control now to stop profiteering and protect renters. #cdnpoli #HousingCrisis

Yesterday I tabled a petition signed by over 10,000 Canadians calling on the government to withdraw Bill C-2. This Trump-style legislation threatens due process, privacy rights & Canadian sovereignty. Canadians reject xenophobia & demand the government uphold our Charter values.

Their chaotic approach has already wreaked havoc in post-secondary institutions, leading to layoffs & confusion. Canadians deserve a fair, transparent & accountable immigration policy—not more excuses from a government out of touch with immigrant realities. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

The @mark-carney.bsky.social Liberals are flouting the law by failing to table Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan by Nov 1. Communities, newcomers & settlement agencies are left in limbo. This lack of transparency & accountability is unacceptable. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Canada Post plans to close the 418 Main St post office on Nov 12 — a vital hub for seniors, low-income residents, and Chinese-speaking community members. I’m calling on Minister Lightbound to halt the closure and consult the community before it’s too late. #VanEast #cdnpoli

1st-time homebuyers are being unfairly left out of GST exemption — just because they signed pre-construction agreements before May 27, even though their homes close after the exemption takes effect. I fought to fix this at Finance Committee — but all parties voted it down. 📺 youtu.be/7mdVR7Xf8T4

Conservatives are using every tactic to block the bill that fixes their own unconstitutional law — the one that stripped citizenship from Lost Canadians. It’s time to stop defending injustice and restore equality under the law. www.ipolitics.ca/2025/10/28/w...

Cons created 2 classes of Canadians by denying citizenship to children born abroad to Canadian parents. My amendments to C-3 would restore their rights and make our laws charter-compliant. Citizenship is a birthright — not a privilege. 🎥 Watch my speech: youtu.be/Zkus6Q-Grn0?... #LostCanadians

Canada’s immigration and refugee system must be grounded in fairness, due process, and human rights — not arbitrary ministerial power. We can be safe and just. We can protect borders without closing hearts. ❤️ #cdnpoli www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

Over 300 civil-society organizations have called for Bill C-12 to be withdrawn. They know it repeats the same dangerous powers from Bill C-2. This bill cannot be “fixed.” It must be stopped. #RefugeeRights www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

These powers could harm the most vulnerable — women fleeing violence, LGBTQ2+ people escaping persecution, and migrant workers seeking safety. They need protection, not punishment. #HumanRights #cdnpoli www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

Immigrants and refugees invest years — often their life savings — waiting for fairness. Bill C-12 would let the government erase their applications overnight. That’s not accountability. That’s cruelty. #cdnpoli www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

Bill C-12 would let the government: • Suspend visas • Halt refugee hearings • Cancel immigration applications • Block people from reapplying All in the name of a vague “public interest.” That’s dangerous. #RefugeeRights www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

Yesterday in the House, I spoke out against Bill C-12. It’s not reform — it gives cabinet sweeping powers over immigration, refugee, and visa processes with no real oversight. #cdnpoli 🔗 Full speech: www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_spee...

It’s unacceptable to treat birthright Canadians like new immigrants. The recent committee amendments conflate two very different groups. I’m advancing motions to scrap the changes and protect our citizens’ rights. Let’s work together to make Canada inclusive. 👇 www.ipolitics.ca/2025/10/22/n...

Birthright citizenship isn’t a privilege—it’s a right. The proposed changes to Bill C‑3 would undermine the status of “Lost Canadians”. I’m calling Liberals to reverse these amendments and restore citizenship for all born to Canadian parents abroad. 🇨🇦 Read more: www.ipolitics.ca/2025/10/22/n...

A strong foreign policy needs strong safeguards at home. The delay in launching the registry to track foreign interference sends the wrong signal. We must act now — not later. Read my full comment in @HillTimes 👇 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

🇨🇦 It’s mystifying that years after promising a foreign-interference registry, we’re still waiting for a commissioner. As Canada works to reset diplomacy — including with the very actors undermining us — we must first protect our democracy. Read more↓↓ www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

Canadians deserve clarity and transparency. That’s why I’m calling on the government to fully explain the basis for the reported entry ban on @kneecapceol.bsky.social — no one should face arbitrary or politicized immigration decisions. The public needs answers. 🇨🇦 nationalpost.com/news/politic...

My bill would close loopholes in Canada’s Export/Import Permits Act to stop Canadian arms from reaching places like Gaza via 3rd parties. “Canada claims we don’t export to war zones—but in reality, weapons go through U.S. w/no oversight end up harming civilians.” www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

At the Port of Montreal, only 8 officers are tasked with inspecting export containers — that’s unacceptable. In Vancouver, the cancellation of Port Police by the Conservatives worsened drug trafficking. @mark-carney.bsky.social should bring back Port Police in Vancouver.

The hiring of 1,000 CBSA officers is long overdue — and mostly a re-announcement. In 2012, Conservatives with Pierre Poilievre in cabinet cut 1,100 in one day. Canada is now short 3,000 frontline staff, leaving our borders weaker against illegal guns, drugs & contraband. #cdnpoli

Carney’s Bills C-2 and C-12 strip due process from refugee claimants, hand sweeping powers to the minister, and quietly expand surveillance with little oversight. This isn’t “border reform” — it’s executive overreach repackaged to appease Trump.

Even with adjustments, the warrantless access provisions remain — letting agencies conduct surveillance without proper authorization. That’s unacceptable. The government still hasn’t met the standard of consultation needed. The NDP cannot support this bill. 🔗 www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

I’m deeply disappointed that Conservatives and Bloc MPs teamed up to pass amendments to Bill C-3 — the Lost Canadians bill — that undermine its very purpose: to right historic wrongs faced by Lost Canadians and their families. #cdnpoli #LostCanadians

@mark-carney.bsky.social ‘s centralizing approach has too many blind spots — this climbdown proves it. Rushed, unconsulted border legislation undermines public trust and sovereignty. Canadians deserve safety laws made for Canadians, not to please Trump. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

The Minister’s move shows the border bill was flawed from the start. Canadians deserve public safety laws rooted in our sovereignty — not driven by Trump. The NDP will study the bill closely and judge it on its merits. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

This sudden reversal raises serious questions: why was the “safety” border bill rushed without consultation or due diligence? Public safety legislation should never be driven by Trump or foreign politics. Canadians deserve better. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Kwan wants Minister Diab to answer if the officials Gasparro referenced are in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and if she or other IRCC officials authorized Gasparro to speak on their behalf publicly. globalnews.ca/news/1146164...

Rogue Liberal MP Vince Gasparro announced government policy without authorization?! Canadians and visitors to Canada deserve to know that they are not subject to arbitrary policy decisions. Minister should answer these questions

Postal workers deliver vital services Canadians rely on — from seniors’ meds to small business shipping. The Liberals’ sweeping changes threaten jobs & our postal system. I’m proud to stand with @cupw, @unifor.org taxi drivers & allies to say: not on our watch! ✊ #FightForWorkers

This morning I stood with @cupwsttp.bsky.social, @Unifor taxi drivers & labour allies. Good jobs & fair public services are under threat — but we won’t stand by. Canadians count on a strong public postal system. Together, we fight for fairness & dignity. #cdnpoli #canlab #FightForWorkers

Sept 30 reminds us to confront colonialism’s lasting harms. We must commit to change—by listening, learning & acting. The path to reconciliation begins with truth. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay 🧡

Today, we remember Survivors, their families & all missing children. But remembrance is not enough—reconciliation demands action. I am committed to working with Indigenous communities to fight colonial injustices. #NDTR #EveryChildMatters 🧡

Sept 30 is #OrangeShirtDay & #TruthAndReconciliation Day. We honour Survivors, families & children lost to residential schools. Reconciliation starts with truth—so justice & transformation can follow. Every child matters. 🧡

Liberals are ending door-to-door mail delivery—hurting seniors, rural & Indigenous communities, and 9–5 workers. Canada Post should be built up, not torn down. #cdnpoli

PM should remember: both countries tried to undermine Canada with foreign interference. Trade beyond the U.S. matters, but not at the cost of our sovereignty & democracy. We can’t forget that. vancouversun.com/news/ndp-mp-...

Parliament 24.9.2025 Presenting 7,500-signature petition urging government to suspend Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement and impose sanctions amid Gaza blockade concerns #Gaza

Parliament 24.9.2025 Will the Prime Minister let Indigenous Services take over so it can do what is necessary for indigenous-led housing providers to access the funds to build the homes the community desperately needs?

Parliament 23.9.2025 Will the minister respect the constitutional right of workers to free collective bargaining and repeal section 107 of the labour code, yes or no?

Scarce housing dollars must go to building homes, not duplicating agencies. Why isn’t CMHC mandated to ensure affordability? Why haven’t barriers been fixed in the last decade? Why create new bureaucracy when families need affordable homes now? #cdnpoli #housing www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

For over 10 years, Liberals have been asleep at the wheel. If they were serious, they’d partner with non-profits, private sector, provinces & territories to use federal lands for affordable housing—no need to reinvent the wheel. #cdnpoli #housingcrisis www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

The launch of Build Canada Homes is “extremely disturbing.” We already have CMHC, created to deliver affordable housing. Instead of fixing problems within CMHC, Liberals are duplicating bureaucracy in the middle of a housing crisis. #cdnpoli #housing www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
