Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. This year many people have faced violence due to transphobic policies and hate. It’s important to honour the people who lost their lives due to transphobia and to support a better future.

Doug Ford wants to scrap speed cameras, facts show they save lives and money. Lower speeds mean fewer injuries. Revenue from tickets helps keep property taxes lower. Without them? Higher speeds, more injuries, and higher property bills. Doug Ford’s plan puts lives at risk and costs families more.

Opinion: Now is not the time for Canada to walk away from diversity, equity and inclusion
Canadians have many pressing concerns, but research shows they have not lost sight of DEI’s importance in society

Taking action for accessibility means standing with over 8 million Canadians who deserve better. We’re committed to creating a more inclusive future because people with disabilities are counting on a country that includes them, not one that leaves them behind. #DisabilityJustice
A photo of Mike Morrice (left), Jonathan Pedneault (centre), and Elizabeth May (right). Overlaying the image is a bold white header that reads, “Only one federal party has supported the Accessible Canada Pledge, and that's the Greens.” This is followed by smaller green text: “Signed by co-leaders Elizabeth May & Jonathan Pedneault, and Mike Morrice for Kitchener Centre.”

Yves-François Blanchet: [to Carney & Poilievre] I'm sorry to crash your party guys, but you are telling fairy tales. Clean oil and gas is a fairy tale. Large scale carbon sequestration (...) is a fairy tale. It does not exist.
