Seven months ago, the Liberals said cutting the HST from home heating couldn’t be done.

They blocked you from saving money — just so they could campaign on it later.

If I’d known it would take an election for them to act, I would’ve called for one every week.

There's a reason they hid their platforms until the last possible minute.

Empty promises with no four year costing.

You deserve a better deal.

On May 9 we remember all the victims of the Westray mine disaster. Workers deserve to be safe at work. Every worker who is killed at work deserves to have their death investigated through a criminal lens. #westray.

I am in Ottawa closing down my office.
It has been an incredible honour serving the people of the north for 21 years.
But the fight goes on. The resistance takes new forms.
Stay tuned.
I ain't going anywhere. Just shedding my snakeskin.
See you on the barricades.

Government is leaving millions on the table that would help more Newfoundlanders and Labradorians access medication. This isn't good enough. It's time this province signs on to the federal Pharmacare program.

NL NDP @nlndp.bsky.social · Apr 14

We agree!

“I was disappointed but not surprised to see that gov continues to refuse to work with the federal gov to sign on to the Pharmacare program. This program would bring millions into this province to help people afford medications." -

Check out CBC NL this evening for the second half of our panel. This snap is from round one on Monday. Battleground N.L.: Political insiders panel on which federal races could be closest. Re Federal Election 2025

Picture of political panel who will discuss the seven federal seats up for grabs in Newfoundland and Labrador, and some of the races could be real squeakers. A panel of political insiders: Amanda Will from the NDP, Scott Simms from the Liberals, and Eugene Manning from the Conservatives on CBC.

This Liberal government continues to claim that removing the HST from all forms of home heating cannot be done. But if that’s true, then how did we do it in 2012?

The reality is, this government isn’t interested in real action to help you with skyrocketing power bills.

Independent media is crucial to our society. They hold us accountable, shine a light on important issues, and push the government to act—like when they embarrassed them into finally implementing Pay Equity.

Telling the people of this province to 'not trust the media' is disgraceful.

Newfoundlanders & Labradorians are struggling to keep up with rising home heating costs—but the government still charges HST on electricity & all heating. ❄️🔥

🚨 It’s time to remove HST on home heating—just like before.

NLFL President Jessica McCormick is providing media reaction to the tariffs today.

“This is an attack on working class people who are already struggling with the cost of living.

Our resolve will be tested, but our unity in the face of this attack will see us through.”
