Jack Layton passed away 14 years ago today. Jack would have been Canada’s first NDP Prime Minister, and he left us a united, bilingual, national party. In the wake of the worst election in our movement’s history, we have an obligation to honour Jack’s strong legacy by rebuilding.

Proud to join Air Canada flight attendants in Winnipeg this morning, calling out the Liberal government who is forcing binding arbitration.

It is time for the liberal government to stop being “elbows up” against Canadian workers/ women and gender equality!

The murder of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza is another reminder of how little the Israeli Defence Force cares about international law as it continues committing genocide in Gaza.

That’s because Netanyahu and IDF leaders know their allies won’t push back. (1/3)

Solidarity with @cupescfp.bsky.social flight attendants staging a national day of action today rejecting poverty wages and unpaid work. So much of the travel we rely on depends on these workers, and they deserve a fair contract.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada, across the Caribbean, and other regions - marking the day slavery was abolished in the British Empire. My book, The Book of Possibilities, has been featured on a few Emancipation Day reading lists, and I'm grateful!

Lemme tell y'all a bit about the day:

People across the world are experiencing the absolute failure of neoliberalism, with an escalating climate emergency, falling real incomes for working people alongside growing profits for the billionaire class, and the rise of far right authoritarianism threatening our fundamental human rights.
