This afternoon I met with Sister Laura Vicuña Pereira Manso, an Indigenous land defender from Brazil, in my constituency office to talk about the shared experiences of Indigenous peoples across the world with harmful systems of colonialism, misogyny and deterioration of our rights.

Indigenous Veterans Day was established in Winnipeg more than twenty years ago to honour the service of Indigenous veterans who made great sacrifices but were denied the same care, and respect as non-Indigenous veterans. We must ensure that Indigenous veterans live with the dignity they deserve.

I had an energizing Sunday morning discussing progressive priorities during the @ccpamb.bsky.social Brunch. I was honoured to sit with the National Farmers Union and talk about their commitment to building relationships with workers, united in the need for democracy and just food systems.

It’s alarming hearing the Prime Minister talk about “sacrifices” in the budget when the Liberals have repeatedly sacrificed the safety of Indigenous women and girls. Will the government finally put Indigenous women’s safety before corporate profits in this year’s budget?

Today I will be reintroducing my bill that aims to address residential school denialism. We must uphold the dignity and safety of survivors, families and communities.

I lift up all the women and gender diverse organizations who managed to secure WAGE funding yesterday. For months, it looked like the Liberals were ready to gut WAGE and wipe out essential programs protecting women and gender-diverse people. (1/2)

(1/2) “Every time the government breaks a strike, it sends a message to CEOs everywhere that they don’t need to negotiate in good faith with workers. And every time the Prime Minister lets workers’ rights violations slide in union workplaces,

Did you know Canada is paying billions for climate inaction? This is why the next NDP leader must have the courage to address the economic cost of the climate crisis. 1/6

I was so happy to meet with MS Canada today to discuss much needed public interventions to address the exceptionally high rates of multiple sclerosis in Canada. (1/3)

What I’m looking for in the next NDP leader isn’t complicated. 1/11

The Liberals’ #BillC12 is just a repackaged version of the controversial #BillC2. It violates the rights of migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers, and undermines civil liberties. (1/2)

The Liberals rush to exploit the Ring of Fire in Nishnawbe Aski Nation territory for so-called “national interest,” but stay silent as their communities face a public state of emergency. Is the safety of Indigenous people not of national interest?

According to @policyalternatives.ca, 59% of the Liberals’ public sector cuts will fall on women. If Carney wants to regain the trust of women after forcing flight attendants at Air Canada back to unpaid work, why won’t he reverse these devastating cuts?

It’s time to place the blame for rising youth unemployment where it belongs: with the Liberals’ failed economic policies. Last year the wealth of 77 billionaires grew by 113.4 billion, while young people across Canada struggle more and more to find a job.

Today is my 6th anniversary as Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre. Representing this community has been the honour of my life, and I am deeply grateful for your love and trust. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Trump is showing us what we’ve know from the start: that he’s set on destroying the Canadian economy. Instead of flattering Trump, when will the Prime Minister finally fight back and protect jobs and workers in Canada?

Rest in Power to the late Elder Stan LaPierre, who showed his tireless care and love for families of murdered and disappeared women, girls and gender-diverse people. To his partner Elder Thelma Morrisseau, my heart is with you and your family at this time of grief.

Upholding due process isn’t just legal, it’s the foundation of democracy. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects everyone from arbitrary detention, unfair trials, and government overreach. #CharterRights #DueProcess #HumanRights #CDNPoli #Justice(1/3)

Locking people up for being poor, sick, or in crisis doesn’t solve the problem and in fact makes it worse. When people are detained instead of supported, they often lose housing, jobs, and vital connections. That instability drives desperation, which fuels crime and social harm. (1/6)

"With news of the location of Samuel Bird after several months of searching, my heart goes out to Samuel’s family, friends, community, and loved ones, including his mother, Alanna." Read my statement on the location of Samuel Bird here: www.leahgazan.ca/statement_sa...

It’s time to rethink what it means to be a worker. (1/5)

Last week I joined in solidarity with the Kebaowek First Nation at a rally outside the Federal Court of Appeals affirming the Crown’s constitutional obligation to seek and obtain the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous rights holders and to abide by UNDRIP. (1/2)

Today I and NDP Labour Critic @alexboulerice.bsky.social wrote to Minister Patty Hajdu urging the Liberal government to amend the Employment Equity Act to include Black and 2SLGBTQI+ workers.

My father loved the NDP, almost in a way that healed him. After surviving genocide, politics wasn’t just politics for him. It was survival. Every election felt like a fight against fascism. There was an intensity to it that I’ll never forget. (1/7)

Words are one thing, action is another. The Liberals and Conservatives like to talk about defending workers. But if they really care about protecting workers' rights, will they support my #BillC247 to repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code?

Israel is violating international humanitarian law by not allowing the Flotilla missions to deliver essential aid, and arresting and detaining individuals who are participating in these humanitarian missions. (1/2)

This week I was honoured to table my constituents’ petition to halt the closure of the RBC Bank Branch on the corner of Sargent and Sherbrook in Winnipeg. Our community is home to diverse populations including newcomers, Indigenous people, seniors and young families who depend on access (1/3)

«Qu’il s’agisse d’Air Canada, de Postes Canada, des chemins de fer ou des ports, le message est toujours le même: quand les grandes entreprises se plaignent, le gouvernement cède», a déclaré Mme Gazan en présentant le texte législatif. www.ledroit.com/actualites/p...

Striking and collective bargaining are protected by our Constitution. They are not optional, they are fundamental parts of a democratic society. Through my #BillC247 I and the @ndp.ca are putting power back where it belongs: with the workers. #UnionStrong

Today I stood with @cupescfp.bsky.social and @canadianlabour.bsky.social leaders, flight attendants and other workers presenting my Bill C-247 to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code.

Today I’m joining union leaders, workers and Don Davies at the @cupescfp.bsky.social National Convention presenting my Bill C-247 to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code and end union busting. It’s time to give power back to workers. #UnionStrong

“If the Liberals truly believe in workers’ rights, they must stop siding with corporate interests and commit to repealing Section 107 once and for all. Because workers’ rights are not optional — they are the foundation of a fair and just democracy.”

Time and again the Liberals have violated workers' constitutional right to strike by abusing Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, showing they're with corporations, not workers. Workers' rights are fundamental to democracy, not a minor inconvenience to be overridden without a second thought.

Congratulations to @Giganawenimaanaanig on the launch of Red Dress Stories. May the voices of our ancestors and love ones guide us toward justice. #nationaldayofactionformmiwg2s www.reddressstoriesmb.ca

"I wish to lift up organizations, advocates, families, and survivors of violence who have led the way in advocating for justice, and all of those who are working to put an end to this genocide. I love you." #nationaldayofactionformmiwg2s

I was honoured to join at the 19th annual Sisters in Spirit vigil on Parliament Hill today honouring survivors, families and communities impacted by this ongoing genocide.

If the Liberals really stand with workers, will they repeal section 107 of the Canada Labour Code now?

(1/3) Last week I joined Senator Kim Pate and National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak to tour Stony Mountain Penitentiary in Winnipeg.

“If Canada is serious about building an economy rooted in dignity and human rights, the Liberals must ensure that Indigenous women and girls are given a seat at the table, that our voices are heard, and that our lives are safeguarded.” hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Once again the Liberals are siding with big executives to help privatize postal delivery, an essential public service. This will hurt seniors, the disability community and rural areas the hardest.

On Orange Shirt Day, we honour the truths of residential school survivors, and that means eliminating the denialism and incitement of hate against Indigenous people.

Carney’s ready to spend big on subsidies to private corporations, but his government calls support for essential public services a “bailout.”

Just $6.67 per day is what the Liberals say people with disabilities can live off of. When was the last time Mark Carney spent less than $6.67 on a single meal? As it stands, the CDB is insultingly insufficient for eliminating poverty among people with disabilities.

Thank you to National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Inc. for meeting to discuss priorities for advancing housing as a human right for Indigenous peoples, by Indigenous peoples, from coast to coast to coast.

(1/2) All too often the rights of persons with disabilities are violated, with very limited means of recourse for those impacted. Canada needs accountability mechanisms to ensure our leaders are not leaving disability justice behind. That’s why I was proud to sponsor petition e-6488

Today I met with Gazans whose family members are trapped in life threatening situations in Gaza, being denied entry into Canada. That includes children and mothers, many lacking access to basic sanitation, medical care, or sufficient food and drinking water.

Carney is choosing expediency over principle, failing to take steps to end the genocide and denying entrance of many Palestinian Canadians back into the country. I'm calling on the Liberal government to act now to end this genocide.

Extremism is rising, and marginalized communities are under attack. It feels like decades backwards—but hope lives in the people. From Ottawa to across the country, when we rise together, we are stronger than hate. The power is ours. ✊

This weekend, thousands rose up in Draw the Line protests to tell Carney: enough. We refuse his attacks on workers, Indigenous peoples, migrants, civil liberties, disability justice, and the planet.

They call you the “radical” when you defend human rights. That’s no accident. It’s the same tactic used throughout history to discredit justice movements. Those fighting for equality are smeared as “radical,” only for history to prove they were on the side of justice all along. #JusticeIsOnTheWay
