Today marks 100 years since women in Newfoundland won the right to vote and hold public office. It was a hard-fought victory led by tireless suffragists.

But the fight isn’t over. Women in NL still face pay inequity & underrepresentation in politics. It's time for action.

Newfoundlanders & Labradorians are struggling to keep up with rising home heating costs—but the government still charges HST on electricity & all heating. ❄️🔥

🚨 It’s time to remove HST on home heating—just like before.

Gaza belongs to Palestine — and no one else.

Trump's threats are utter madness. They violate every international law. Destabilize the region. Threaten the ceasefire.

Canada must stand up to this forcefully.

Gaza is not for sale, it belongs to Palestinians.

Screenshot of a CBC news article in which Trump suggests permanently displacing Palestinians so the US can take over Gaza.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold.
A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot.
"You give that man shit," she says.
Then walks away.
That's Canada.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.
