Why International Women’s Day (IWD) is so very important from four fierce local female leaders. Many thx to Joy, Bonnie, Maryam and Kim for taking the time to help us to articulate the importance of the work that needs to be done to accelerate action. @joylachica.bsky.social @meggallant.bsky.social

60 years ago, on February 15, 1965, Canada’s red & white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. On the same day in 1996, National Flag Day was declared. Our flag is a symbol that unites Canadians & reflects the values we take pride in — democracy, inclusion & equity.
On flag day, let’s make pledges to stand together with workers who are the backbone to our economy. #ptbo

If Trump and Musk attack Canadian autoworkers, I would slap a 100% tariff on Teslas - and give Canadians a $10,000 rebate to buy Canadian-made EVs and plug-in hybrids.

We'll hit back where it counts and support Canadian workers.

If Donald Trump attacks steelworkers in Canada, there will be hell to pay.

The NDP won’t hold back—we will stand up for steelworkers!

Our plan starts with dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and immediate support for every worker impacted.
In my estimation, there isn’t a better candidate for Peterborough-Kawartha than Jen Deck…

On our winter emergency need for more shelter in #ptbo
@joylachica.bsky.social says "We have buildings that would meet the needs and meet the health requirements and the standards." She had suggested the former Kawartha Gymnastics building in Morrow Park: "That's an example... So I don't buy it, that we lack buildings."

@joylachica.bsky.social says in the fall she said there wouldn't be enough space for the winter. She says "I care as deeply" as Riel and Bierk, who hold the homelessness portfolio.
