The Liberals committed billions of dollars to tackle the housing crisis — and it’s up to us to make sure that money gets invested in people, not corporate developers.

“My biggest concern is finding stable housing. In the last 6 years, I have moved 7 times, for various reasons: uncapped rent increases, my roommates being priced out of their leases, poorly maintained rental units where landlords refuse to fix basic use items for months on end.” Kathryn

Now Therme didn’t disclose audits that showed significant risk to their business in 2022; this is on top of cosplaying as another company to secure the Ontario Place bid. The Ford government has enough to pull the plug due to fraud, will they? www.thestar.com/news/investi... #topoli #onpoli

The Ford government touted Therme as a ‘world-class’ partner for Ontario Place. In Europe, ‘significant’ concerns have emerged over finances

The warning is included in previously unreported audits. Therme says it doesn't reflect the strong financial footing of the global business.

We have until the fall, when Carney's Liberals will approve their 1st budget, to make it clear that we want our public money to be spent on real housing solutions!

Arguments like “It’s war — terrible things happen,” or “Yes, the Israeli military may be going too far, but what about Hamas?” are't just morally bankrupt – they're dangerous.

Canada needs to end its complicity, NOW 👇

“That’s Just War” — No, It’s Not. And Canada Is Complicit.

Let’s be clear: what is happening in Gaza is not “just war.” It is a systematic assault on an entire civilian population. It is genocide in real time.

Just a reminder: the recent German election had higher voter turnout than any Canadian general election ever.

When people feel their vote matters, they show up.

Demand proportional representation for a better democracy.

Carney didn’t shut the door on proportional representation—a shift that shows our advocacy is working.

But Singh is right: progress takes pressure.

The NDP says they support PR. It’s time they act like it—and make it a condition of support for a minority government.

#cdnpoli

Screenshot of a news article by Bryann Aguilar from CTV News. It quotes Singh saying, "Never trust a Liberal," and that Liberals only act when New Democrats force them. Carney is quoted saying electoral reform could be addressed once the economic crisis is over, and that a Prime Minister should remain neutral on the issue. Singh emphasizes his support for proportional representation where every vote is reflected directly in Parliament.
