Trump threatened Canada over recognizing Palestine.
Did he think we'd give in?
Polling shows the majority want Canada to move quickly on recognizing Palestine.
95% say hit back with immediate counter tariffs.
74% say go hard even if it causes financial harm at home.
Face it Donald, We hate you.

Today is a big win for workers - the anti-scab law is now in effect.

For 15 yrs, New Democrats pushed this. We brought it forward 9 times. The Liberals & Conservatives said no. But the NDP kept fighting!

Because workers deserve respect. They deserve fair bargaining. And today, they’re getting it.

To say Netanyahu was merely “defending Israel” by attacking Iran is no less maliciously dishonest than the claim that Putin was just “defending Russia” by invading Ukraine. You don’t get to start a war and claim self-defence.

Me on the papal altar.
In 2005 I was threatened with ex-communication for supporting same sex marriage.The Church vowed to defeat me in the election.
I didn't bend to the intimidation.
Ordinary Catholic voters supported me in droves.
I wish Pope Leo the best in resisting reactionary forces.

I have been the NDP candidate for over a year. I have made over 3000 phone calls and knocked on hundreds of doors. I have learned so much from the members of this community.

My job as an elected official would be to represent this riding first and foremost. Look for the pipefitter on your ballot.

After attending Charlie Angus and the Resistance event today, I am more excited than ever for this election. So many people came together today to stand united for our Canadian values. When you go to the polls this election, you are using your vote to voice what matters to you most. #elbowsup

Like so many Canadians and people around the world, my heart is broken by the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Canada must stop all arms sales to Israel.

Canada must sanction Netanyahu and his government.

Canada must end its complicity in this genocide.

I had an amazing person join me knocking on doors this evening. Heather McPherson MP inspired me to pursue becoming Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan' NDP candidate.

Thank you for all that you do, Heather!

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social
They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social.

It’s funny watching the Conservative Party say they will stand up to the tariffs while trying their best to not say anything negative about Trump. PP has been relying on Trump’s phoney populist rhetoric, yet now he has to somehow appease both the MAGA cultist and non-MAGA factions of his base.

I stand with the people fighting to help Ukraine.
I oppose the Trump/Putin gangster regimes.
Canada has a malignant threat on our border while the front line in Ukraine is being hammered.
This is an all hands on deck moment for our nation and the world.

That’s all he has ever done. He’s never been a masterful dealmaking business man. He just played one on tv. In reality he’s rich because his daddy was rich. Now we are seeing his reality tv manipulation being used for the decline of democracy

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance.
It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media.
It is about the very soul of America.
They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny.
The world is watching.

Make no mistake. Trump and his piece of shit underlings like JD know how to do one thing. Perform. As a celebrity game show host, Trump understands the effective mind-poisoning medium of reality tv and uses it to his advantage. What we saw in the Oval Office was a reality tv performance.

This is what the resistance looks like.
The protesters for Ukraine are the best of our nation.
Good Canadians.
Every day, they stand peacefully outside the Russian Embassy fence which is strung with barbed wire.
Russian staff wear MAGA hats.
I stand with Ukraine. I oppose the Putin/Trump gang.

The CBC has been a pivotal source of factual news and Canadian culture for almost a century.

Poilievre and his Conservatives want to defund it.

His goal? To divide Canadians and weaken the media.

We can't let him.

I strongly believe in supporting ALL workers, including our dedicated teachers. Let’s prioritize their success and provide them with the resources they need. Proper funding for education is crucial to ensure the best future for our children, our province, and our country.

For a while now, the far right has maintained a stranglehold over independent media, using it as an effective tool to spread bs. This has been a blindside of the far right’s opponents. Hopefully this is a sign of that changing.
