From farmers to workers, from rural communities to cities, the NDP is built by people from every part of this country.
David, Christopher, and Mandy have put in the work and stood with our party through its highs and lows. Having their support and endorsement means a great deal to me.

Canada cannot stand by while Donald Trump uses tariffs and intimidation to pressure allies who are doing the right thing.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
