There are only 7 days left to join the NDP to vote in the leadership race.
Don’t take it from me. Take it from the thousands who’ve joined this movement: we're building something big here. For the many, not the money!

How thrilling to be endorsed by a group of authors whose work goes so wide and deep - into the past and future, into ourselves and societies.
We need art and culture in our politics! These storytellers help us understand and imagine the world we need to build together.

Anita's response is weak.
If the U.S. popped into Canada and nabbed Carney, what would their response be?
Carney needs to condemn this illegal action by Trump, stand up for international law, and commit to ending arms sales to the United States.

The Canadian government celebrates the US committing the crime of aggression against Venezuela, in violation of international law and the UN Charter, even as it calls for respect for international law.
I’m not surprised: Carney took a similar approach when the US illegally attacked Iran last year.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.
It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"
Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."
