The U.S. tariffs don't just threaten 600,000 jobs, they threaten millions of working families.

Because this isn't just a trade war, it's a class war, being waged by American oligarchs.

Now more than ever, we need MPs unafraid to confront corporate power.

Our farmers have been caught in an economic squeeze.

And with the loss of family farms, more of our farmland is ending up in the hands of a few corporations.

Working families and farmers alike are, at every stage of production, being forced to pad the pockets of profiteers.

Working families and farmers alike are being squeezed by food processing and grocery corporations.

We must stand up for all working people at the mercy of these oligopolies.

It's time for the federal government to reform the Competition Act, and restore fairness for all.

In 1966, the federal government agreed to fund half of our healthcare system with the Medicare Act.

Today, they fund just 22%.

We must hold the federal government accountable and demand not only more funding, but more medical school seats, nursing school seats, and hospital beds.

For far too long, investors have profited off of a growing number of Canadians getting squeezed out of the housing market.

Which is why, we must demand the federal government step up and ban corporations from buying up our homes.

Canada is staring down the barrel of a trade war, one that poses an existential threat to our sovereignty.

But this isn't just a trade war, it's a class war, being waged for the profit of U.S. billionaires.

Now more than ever we need MPs who are gonna stand up to the oligarchy.

Nearly half of our farmers are retiring over the next decade.

And two-thirds of our farmers don't have a succession plan in place.

If we do nothing, we'll see even more of our farmland go into the hands of corporations.

Canadians have always stood for justice and peace, it's time for our government to uphold these values on the world stage.

I stand with Vote Palestine in demanding our government stand up for the rights and freedoms of the Palestinian people.

In 1957, Parliament made a promise to Canadians: when we needed hospital care, it would be covered.

They guaranteed we would receive the care we deserve by funding half of the system.

Yet today, the federal government only provides 22% of healthcare funding.

Across Canada, family-owned farms are disappearing.

And with the U.S. trade war, our farmers are facing an existential threat.

Now more than ever, we need MPs who are going to stand up for farmers and against corporate power.

The U.S. oligarchy is using the threat of tariffs as a weapon against working people.

Now more than ever, we need MPs who aren't afraid to challenge their power.

It's time for a trade strategy that puts workers first!

Elon Musk has played a significant role in the Trump administration, using his wealth to become an oligarch.

This billionaire, who donated nearly $300 million to Trump’s campaign, helped shape this administration; more than half of its cabinet members are billionaires. (1/3)

This morning, the U.S. oligarchy imposed reckless 25% tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico—an attack on working people on both sides of the border.

For months, they have threatened Canada’s sovereignty. This act of economic warfare is a pressure tactic. (1/3)

Fascism is the destruction of democracy by a ruling class.

In the U.S., 13 of this administration's 22 cabinet picks are billionaires.

This concentration of wealth and power is a step toward oligarchy.

Its tariffs are set to take effect in 3 days.

Now more than ever, we must fight back.

Sectoral bargaining ensures coverage for all workers in a sector.

It sets a wage floor, guaranteeing everyone gets their fair share.

Sectoral bargaining isn’t just good for some—it’s good for all.

Unions give workers a voice in their workplace.

And when workers have a voice, everyone benefits.

That’s why strengthening unions is essential for fairness, dignity, and a democracy that works for all.

As union membership declines, private pension coverage shrinks.

This has strained the CPP, GIS, and OAS.

To keep these programs solvent for future generations, we must not only invest in them but fight to ensure more workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

For far too long, power has been concentrated in the hands of a wealthy few—now, we’re taking it back.

Join me on March 6th at 11 AM PST (2 PM EST) for a Reddit AMA, where we’ll talk about how we put power back in the hands of working people.

So, bring your questions, and let’s get to work!

Canada's unions uplift everyone.

That's why New Democrats will always stand with unions.

Because a fair economy starts with decent wages, secure jobs, and dignity for all.
February 27, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Over the last forty years, wages just haven't kept up with inflation, and working families are paying the price.

And it's because fewer and fewer working people have had a voice in their workplace.

But together, we can change that.

The fight for working people is the fight for a better tomorrow.

Unions have always been at the forefront of this struggle, uplifting working people.

New Democrats will always stand with unions to build a fairer, freer, future for all.

Working people are losing out on the wages and benefits we’ve earned.

Because we’ve been losing our voice in the workplace.

Now more than ever, Canadians need—and deserve—good, family-supporting union jobs.
February 24, 2025 at 1:55 PM
In the last twenty years, we’ve lost nearly 450,000 manufacturing jobs.

Today, we’re facing a trade war that could cost us 600,000 jobs, while another 1.8 million see their hours and wages cut.

Now more than ever, we need an industrial strategy to protect Canadian jobs.

35% of BC seniors live in for-profit long-term care homes.

Yet BC's for-profit LTC homes provided 500,000 fewer care hours.

Our seniors deserve so much better, so let's demand it.
February 22, 2025 at 1:55 AM
According to a study from the Ontario Health Coalition, seniors in for-profit long-term care were 25% more likely to be hospitalized, and 10% more likely to pass away.

And, in the first three months, this rose to 36% and 20% respectively. (1/4)
