Six million Canadians are now covered under the NDP's dental care plan, saving people an average of $800 per year!

Dental care is primary health care. New Democrats won't stop fighting until every Canadian can access the dentist with their health card instead of their credit card.

US has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela, or any other sovereign state. It has no right to engage in regime change, which is the prerogative of the Venezuelan people. Any military attack on Venezuela is a violation of the UN Charter & international law.

Happy to join in the 70th anniversary celebration of Via Rail and The Canadian passenger rail service at the Vancouver terminal.
Rail builds our country, connects our communities and is just a fabulous way to see and experience our beautiful nation.
NDP wants much more passenger rail in Canada!

Millions of Canadians are struggling. Yet the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers, while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations. New Democrats have a better plan: positive, constructive policies to build a stronger, fairer Canada.

Budgets reveal values. Mark Carney's budget demands sacrifices from working families—by slashing services and cutting frontline jobs—while giving the ultra-wealthy a tax break on luxury yachts and private jets. What value(s) does that represent?

Last year Parliament passed legislation to cover diabetes and contraceptive medications through our public healthcare system. Budget 2025 promised to protect pharmacare—but didn't allocate any money to it. The Liberals must keep their word and fund pharmacare for all Canadians.

The NDP could not support the Liberal budget. It fails to meet the moment or tackle urgent challenges like housing, healthcare, affordability and the jobs crisis. And so, we’ve put our country first: voting against the budget, but helping prevent an election Canadians don’t want.

Today is our second granddaughter Charlotte Rose’s 1st birthday!
What love she has brought us all!
In today’s tumultuous world, our children remind us what is truly precious and important in life.
Let’s create a world that allows all to flourish, grow and thrive…

It is always a profound privilege to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in Vancouver.
Today I did so at Memorial Park, the Chinese Cenotaph and with peace activists near Seaforth Armoury.
The very best way we can honour the fallen is to create a world of peace.
Lest we forget.

Remembrance Day serves as a reminder to all Canadians to join together and honour the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to protect our country. Their courage and commitment will never be forgotten.

Great to be in Manitoba at the NDP convention.

Premier Kinew and his team are showing what progressive government looks like.

Grateful to hear the needs of Manitobans and their views on the federal budget.

I'd like a budget that satisfies Canadians, not one that satisfies Donald Trump.

Canadians are struggling to make ends meet — yet this budget offers no real relief. Families can’t wait for promises. They need help now. #cdnpoli #Budget2025

Don and the NDP once again secure funding for a Filipino Community and Cultural Centre in Vancouver.

The Carney Liberals want to remove the Empty Homes Tax - a measure aimed at investors to encourage them to put their units into the housing supply.
During a housing crisis, people need more homes, not a gift to investors to keep them empty.

Congratulations to Kate White and the entire Yukon NDP team on forming the Official Opposition!

Your federal team looks forward to working together to make the North and Canada work better for working people!

Congratulations and great gratitude to the @BlueJays for a sensational season.
You did Canada proud and are champions in our hearts…

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.

Canada is at a critical moment. Now is the time to work together to bring forward local solutions and grow strong federal partnerships so #CDNMuni can deliver for their residents.

Our thanks to @ndp.ca Interim Leader @donvdavies.bsky.social for the engaging conversation in Ottawa this morning.

Universal healthcare is nation-building. Budget 2025 should invest in head-to-toe care—because every Canadian deserves it, not just those who can afford it. #cdnpoli #Budget2025

Municipalities build the communities Canadians call home. I spoke this morning to the @fcm.ca about renewing Canada’s nation-building vision—partnering with local leaders on housing, infrastructure, and climate resilience. #CDNmuni #cdnpoli

Canadians are facing a severe affordability crisis. Families are struggling to cover basic expenses, relying on high-interest credit just to get by, while food bank use has surged. In a country as wealthy as ours, no one should be forced into debt just to put food on the table.
