Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck:

“I don't think for a minute that they've actually started to give a damn about working people…they’ve been using that anger to divide us and to win elections.”

Doug Ford promised to protect Ontario’s economy, but by every measure he is failing.

Windsor, once Ontario’s engine of growth, is now at 11% unemployment — the highest in Canada.

Jobs are vanishing, families are struggling, and Doug Ford has no plan to turn it around.

The problem isn't with the Skills Development Fund. It's with the Ford government. Watch to hear what I have to say about today's AG report:

BREAKING: Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.”

Add it to the pile.

Greenbelt: “Not transparent, objective or fully informed.”

Ontario Place: “Not fair, transparent or accountable.”

Yesterday I joined the Indigenous Legacy Gathering and Every Story Matters with David A. Robertson to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We honoured Survivors, remembered the children who never came home, and reflected on the work ahead.

Every child matters, today and every day.

There's 800,000 people without a job in Ontario—meanwhile, Doug Ford is out there eating ice cream and talking nonsense.

Great and energizing meeting with leaders from Ontario’s labour movement today, joined by my friend and the Shadow Minister for Labour Jamie West for joining.

Thank you Fred Hahn, Yolanda McClean, Laura Walton, Heather Erlen, and Ahmad Gaied. The road to a workers’ government starts here.

Leo Gerard was a giant of the labour movement. From Sudbury to the world, he fought for fairness, dignity, and justice. My condolences to Susan, his family, and union siblings everywhere. His legacy will inspire generations.

We know we can’t run the same campaign and expect different results. We will learn from the last election and we will build a strong, grassroots-led movement that will take on Doug Ford.

We're ready to get to work and offer Ontarians a better government—something to vote for.

What a great time at the 106th International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Grassie.

Ontario’s farmers and rural families can count on the Official Opposition NDP to always have their back.

The first day of school brings butterflies, excitement, and a little chaos in every household. Wishing every student, family, teacher, and education worker a great start to the year. You’ve got this.

This Labour Day feels different.

Trump’s tariffs are threatening our economy. Doug Ford is still cutting services and making life harder for working families. And Ontarians are left paying the price.

At a time of uncertainty, we need leadership that’s all in for workers and all in for labour. ✊

Universal health care is Canada’s greatest achievement. But families are waiting longer and workers are stretched thin.

The Official Opposition NDP will strengthen public health care — more doctors, stronger community health centres, nation-building hospitals, and no privatization.
