Strongly worded statements aren’t enough. Canadian activists were beaten, deprived of essentials, subjected to appalling conditions by Israeli officials—yet Canada refuses to ramp up real, meaningful diplomatic pressure. Ottawa must do more to demand true accountability cheknews.ca/activists-ca...

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...

Workers and communities across Canada have real concerns about the rise of AI tech giants, but the Liberals’ AI strategy does little to address these concerns. (1/4)

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.

Indigenous people are highly overrepresented among those displaced from their communities by escalating wildfire seasons. Yet the Liberal Minister has failed to uphold the safety and wellbeing of evacuees in cities they’re displaced to – including my community of Winnipeg Centre. (1/3)

Proposed water-intensive AI data centres mean 24/7 noise, constant diesel generator air pollution, and massive strain on our water supply as historic droughts loom. Global lessons show Virginia found them incompatible with housing, and Ireland's data centres swallow 22% of the grid power. 2/3

Will the Prime Minister stop the delay tactics, meet with first nations' women leaders, as requested, and pass Bill S-2 as amended now to end the discrimination and violations of the charter and international law?

Today, I stood alongside Gaza Freedom Flotilla activists to demand accountability and urgent humanitarian action. While the Liberal government stalls, millions face ongoing devastation. We cannot look away. Watch our full press conference on CPAC here: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Bill C-22 is an unacceptable assault on Canadian privacy rights. I spoke out against this deeply invasive legislation because we must draw a hard line against government overreach. Get the full story here: ca.news.yahoo.com/bill-c-22-nd...

If anyone feared that a central banker would make an undemocratic Prime Minister, now we know for sure. Not only is his government propped up by undemocratic floor crossers, (1/3) www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Today is the seventh anniversary of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Final Report. Read my full statement here: www.leahgazan.ca/mp_leah_gaza...

I want to say a huge thank you to Art City and all of the artists who made this beautiful artwork in support of passing my @ndp.ca Bill C-247 that will defend workers' right to strike.

Last year Manitoba witnessed a historic wildfire season demonstrating the severity of the climate emergency, particularly impacting Indigenous peoples. But when I wrote to the Minister of Indigenous Services to raise concerns about evacuees’ safety, she took almost a year to respond. (1/2)

Each June, we come together in celebration of the tremendous contributions that the Filipino community has made throughout Canada and the world. Happy Filipino Heritage Month!

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.

I wish all members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community a very happy Pride Month! This month, we join together in celebration of queer histories, culture, expression and liberation in all of its diverse and beautiful forms.

The Permanent People's Tribunal concluded that Canada's ongoing policies amount to genocide against Indigenous peoples. The judge noted the primary driver of these policies is Canada's acts to seize Indigenous lands, territories and resources. (1/3)

Last week, I wrote to the Minister of National Revenue to raise concerns about the Liberal government's decision to shut down the Canadian Revenue Agency’s physical drop-boxes. (1/4)

The Liberal Minister of Indigenous Services Canada took nearly a year before responding to my letter calling to uphold the safety of climate evacuees. Her carelessness is simply insulting to all those impacted by this crisis. (1/2)

Yesterday was International Flight Attendants’ Day, and the @ndp.ca knows that respecting flight attendants means upholding their right to strike. Last summer the Liberal government violated flight attendants’ Charter-protected right in just 12 hours.

3/ À une époque marquée par le repli, la peur et les discours de division, le Québec, ainsi que tout le Canada, doit demeurer un phare d’espoir, de progrès et d’inclusion. Un meilleur avenir pour toutes et tous.

2/ La société québécoise est belle, forte et résiliente précisément grâce à sa diversité, et non malgré elle.

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...

Prime Minister Carney is building a pipeline. But this construction route will take Canada directly to the courts. The Liberal government pushed Bill C-5 through Parliament in record time last year, violating the rights of Indigenous Peoples, (1/2)

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)

If only it were this easy.

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.

4/ It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos. We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.

3/ We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble. And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

2/ It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress. Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends.

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.

Danielle Smith in Alberta wants the Constitution amended because she finds Indigenous rights problematic for her pipeline dreams. (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.

2/ The NDP has tabled a bill to repeal this strike-breaking tool for good.  Add your name to demand that the government stop siding with corporate executives over workers: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107

1/ Whether it's on rail lines or at the ports, or against flight attendants or postal workers, the Liberal government has repeatedly invoked Section 107 of the Labour Code to break legal strikes.

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

Steven Guilbeault's decision to leave the Liberal caucus was a principled response to the Liberal government’s failure to protect us from the climate catastrophe. Right now people are waiting for another summer choking on toxic wildfire smoke.

2/ If this government moves to weaken the right to strike, New Democrats and the labour movement promise Mark Carney the fight of his political life.  Add your name: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107

1/ Last night, our bill to protect the right to strike was debated in Parliament. As Prime Minister Carney quietly considers sweeping changes to Canada’s labour laws after rushed consultations, the stakes have never been higher.

So happy to have stood alongside such a strong voice in Jan Simpson, President of @cupwsttp.bsky.social yesterday in support of my @ndp.ca Bill C-247 to uphold the right to strike. (1/2)

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.

I lift up my heart to the survivors, families and organizations who came together yesterday for the National Day of Action on Truth and Reconciliation.

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)

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social ’s "my way or the highway" approach to the environment is authoritarian, not democratic. He is sidelining Indigenous leaders, gaslighting advocates, and silencing his own MPs who dare to speak up. Canadians deserve leadership, not bullying tactics. 👇

Parliament 26.5.2026 Can the Prime Minister tell Canadians what else the oil and gas industry wants?

The NDP is proud to be the only party that has consistently sided with workers and defended the right to strike. If you stand with workers, add your name now: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107
