I’m running to unite the Federal NDP, make workers’ voices, and the voices of everyday people, the driving force of Canadian politics. I hope you’ll join me! https://linktr.ee/robashton4leader

How do you scare the ruling class? By organizing a movement that can fight them - and win.

We’re hosting a National Organizing call on November 30th at 3PM and we need you, and your friends there!

If you’re inspired by this vision, join our campaign. We need people like you to volunteer, door knock, make phone calls, and donate if we want to make this plan a reality.

Homelessness is a failure of our society, and our housing systems. We need to build systems that treat those left behind with dignity and real solutions.
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Homeownership should be a possibility for Canadians, not just a dream
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
We need to protect renters with real rent control. Now.
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
We need to take on corporate ownership of housing, buy banning corporate landlords from buying affordable apartment buildings
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Homes we build in Canada should be built by Canadian workers with Canadian materials
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
We need a diversity of solutions to housing in this country. This plan will do that.

This is Operation Build Communities, not Corporate Empires

We don’t have a housing crisis in Canada, we have a carefully engineer class war.
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
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.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is broken. Bosses abuse it to exploit workers and drive down wages for everyone. I’d repeal this broken system and replace it with a fair program that protects ALL workers. Same pay. Same rights. Same protections.

Sectoral bargaining = bigger paycheques for everyone. Instead of fighting company by company, unions can negotiate fair wages and benefits across entire industries. It’s time to end the race to the bottom.

If you build the company, you should help run it. It's time to put workers in the boardroom, not just in the breakroom.
My Worker Power Plan:
✅ Worker representation on corporate boards
✅ Stronger union rights
✅ Fair wages for all

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.

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.

5. A Central Bank That Works For The People: We’ll give the Bank of Canada a new mandate: full employment. For too long it focused only on low inflation, even if that meant higher unemployment. An economy that serves capital, not people, is a broken economy.
November 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
4. No More Corporate Free Rides: Public dollars will come with strings attached. If a company wants a subsidy, it must keep jobs and operations in Canada. No more blank cheques for corporations that take public money, then lay off workers or move jobs abroad.
November 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
3. Building the Future We Deserve: We’ll create hundreds of thousands of good jobs by investing in housing, clean energy, transit, climate-resilient infrastructure, and modern schools and hospitals—rebuilding the industries that keep Canada moving.
November 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
2. Good Wages, Strong Standards: Every job will be good-paying. Many of them will be public, union-backed jobs and private employers will be forced to compete for labour by paying and treating workers better. No more race to the bottom.
November 14, 2025 at 8:41 PM
1. A Job For Everyone Who Wants One: If you're ready to work, the government will guarantee you a job - building homes, maintaining public infrastructure, caring for our seniors, restoring our environment, or supporting our communities. A national jobs guarantee - so no one's left behind.

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:

What a week. The stories I’ve heard from workers, families, and community leaders remind me exactly who this campaign is for - all of us who get up every day and keep this country running.
