Proud to march today with 50,000 from Quebec labour and community groups, as the CAQ gov escalates its attacks on the rights of unions, tenants, migrants, and Muslims and Jews alike.
People want real solutions to the everyday crisis of healthcare, housing, and the cost of getting by. On lâche pas!

We cannot let workers pay the price for getting Canada off oil & gas — and as NDP leader, I’ll ensure they don’t.
It’s Big Oil that’s sucked billions of dollars out of the ground in this country, and it’s Big Oil that must pay the price of getting us out of the mess that they've created for us all.

Today is National Housing Day. I write this from Vancouver, one of Canada’s wealthiest cities, and where homelessness reached an all-time high this year.
It wasn’t always this way. Canada has a massive deficit of affordable public housing, ever since Liberal governments slashed funding in the 90s.

If the NDP elects Avi Lewis as leader & Carney continues to pivot right, especially on pipelines / climate policy, the Liberals are toast. Next fall's election will restore the NDP to healthy party status, with the Conservatives as govt. Wouldn't rule out a Layton-style result. #ClimateActionNow
My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.
We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.
