Canada’s housing crisis isn’t random. It’s the result of decades of decisions that put profits ahead of people.
My plan treats it like what it is: a class war over who housing is for.

For decades, CEOs wrote the rules. Corporate profits soared while workers' wages stagnated. It’s time to rewrite those rules. My Worker Power Plan puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers.

Mark Carney’s budget is a win for the rich and a loss for workers.
Cuts to services, good jobs on the line, and more banker-class politics.

Great night at our social event yesterday at BC NDP Convention — more than 150 people packed the room.
All weekend, I was proud to stand with New Democrats who show up, who organize, and who fight to build a province and a country who work for people, not billionaires.

It’s nice to be in rooms full of people who genuinely care about each other & our collective future.
I met @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social today at the BC NDP convention 🙂
The fed NDP have a lot of rebuilding to do to earn back people’s trust & their votes. The future only changes when we show up.

THIS is the kind of actual policy the NDP needs
For too long, this country has worked for the few at the top while the people who actually build it are told to tighten their belts. Politicians call it “the economy." Working people call it what it is: a system rigged for the rich.
That’s why I’m proud to unveil my Good Jobs Promise:

Today is a great day for workers. With Bill C-247, the NDP is standing up for the right to strike and bargain freely - rights generations of workers fought for.
It’s time Ottawa remembered who keeps this country running. It’s time for workers to have a voice in Ottawa.

I’m horrified to hear about the treatment of Sumud flotilla activists who were seeking to bring aid to Gaza.
Canadians are appalled by the ongoing genocide, and I want to recognize the work of @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and the NDP caucus in ensuring Canada respects international law.
