Fierce love filled the streets of Vancouver for Pride this year.

Despite many corporations yanking their support in line with Trump's war on diversity, the spirit was strong - & local unions were of course at the heart of it!

Pride is a protest! Reminding us that there is joy in the struggle.

As the worst people attack Francesca Albanese, the @ndp.ca are nominating her for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Thank you, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and @alexboulerice.bsky.social for speaking truth in a time of terror and cowardice.

Canadians deserve an NDP that fights for people, not powerful interests. Last election showed we need real change. A rushed leadership race means more of the same.

Canada must act on its moral and legal obligation to allow Palestinians fleeing genocide to seek refuge within our borders. Our ongoing complicity in these horrors is unconscionable.

It is unconscionable that Canada is refusing to process the immigration applications of students in Gaza accepted to Canadian schools.

Two have already died while waiting.

This is an atrocity and universities should be intervening.

The Liberals’ Bill C-2 is a draconian bill that would introduce Trump-style immigration policies and sweeping expansions to surveillance that would threaten the lives of millions of immigrants across Canada.

Add your name to tell Mark Carney to withdraw Bill C-2 ⬇️

So there IS an opposition party in Parliament after all!

NDP’s @jennykwan.bsky.social just made the Lib-Con coalition split their bulldozer Bill C-5. Great work! #cdnpoli
BREAKING NEES: NDP forces split of Bill C-5, separating controversial Building Canada Act for a direct vote. MP Jenny Kwan’s point of order upheld by Speaker, citing unrelated clauses in omnibus bill.

🇨🇦 Canada must defend its sovereignty from foreign interference. The Modi gov’t’s alleged role in Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s assassination & targeting of Jagmeet Singh is unacceptable. Suspend security ties with India now! 1/

What a beautiful piece! ♥️🇵🇸
My mom Michele Landsberg wrote columns for decades - changing countless lives with her powerful prose and sparkling arguments.

At 85, goddamn she still has it. Read this piece about her pop-up feminist protest against genocide.

Mom, you’re my hero.

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding.

As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

Many of our Canadian Senators are ready to defend human rights and ensure that every Canadian can live freely and authentically as themselves.

Human rights are Canadian values worth fighting for. More to come as Parliament resumes. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Trump’s team built a snitch site targeting Canadian doctors.

Not US doctors. Ours.

It asks people to report gender-affirming care. Every province was listed.

That's not some code fluke. It's a political threat to scare Canadian health workers into silence.

Today at Central City Lodge, we celebrated a birthday–and a lifetime of believing in something bigger than ourselves.

Public health care. Strong pensions. Universal rights.

Let’s honour that legacy and fight for the Canada they built.

Last week, I walked with neighbours in Vancouver for the Gaza Pilgrimage.

For the children. For the medics. For every life stolen by genocide.

Honoured to have the support of VotePalestine and the Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council.

My politics are simple: stand with people fighting for dignity, equality, and human rights. Always.

No compromises. No exceptions.

Thank you @naomiaklein.bsky.social. I’m the luckiest guy on earth to have you in my corner.

Apart from being incredibly embarrassed (which I think was the goal of this video) I'm reminded that this work involves all of us: our chosen family, our political family, all our loved ones.

1/ Hedy Fry has given more than 30 years of her life to public service in Vancouver Centre. That's impressive.

Less so is the fact that she's never spoken out against her party pouring billions into oil and gas—even as wildfires choke Vancouver skies, atmospheric rivers claim lives…

1/ Trump’s return is a shock to the system. And shocks open doors—for the worst… or for something better.

I’m running to take on inequality and the dangerous concentration of corporate power in Canada.

Hotel workers commuting hours just to reach jobs in cities they can’t afford to live in? That’s not a local issue, it’s a national policy failure. Canada needs federal leadership that treats housing as a human right, not a commodity. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/04/14/v...
