Tonight I voted no to the Liberal budget. This was not a decision I took lightly. Here’s why I made that call.

Some highlights from the BC NDP convention. Got to see some old friends and colleagues, and speak with so many New Democrats on what they want to see the party become.

The BC NDP convention was fantastic! I loved meeting so many incredible progressive folks!

Want to hear my favourite moment from the convention? 🧡🧡🧡

Homes should be for people, not for profit.

We need to take housing back from corporate landlords.

Our plan will do just that, by building lasting affordability, strengthening tenant protections, and opening new paths to ownership so Canadians can afford to put down roots.

Great to see so many New Democrats in Victoria last night! Thank you all for coming out.

A privilege to spend some time with the folks from IBEW Local 424 and representatives from labour unions across Edmonton.

I shared my vision for rebuilding the NDP. The NDP has always been the party for working people but we stopped showing that. That needs to change and change starts with us! ✊

Fae Johnstone, a fierce advocate for Trans and Queer rights, submitted a question for the NDP Leadership candidates. Here’s my response.

Le travail de Lisa Marie pour protéger nos océans et nos côtes, pour rendre la vie plus abordable et pour défendre de bons programmes comme le Programme national d’alimentation scolaire, est exactement ce dont nous avons besoin.

Je suis honorée de recevoir son appui.
November 13, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Lisa Marie’s work to protect our oceans and coasts, to make life more affordable and to fight for good programs like the National School Food program, is what we need more of.

I’m honoured to have her support

Avec une longue carrière dans le mouvement syndical et des décennies d’expérience de campagne à travers le pays, le soutien de Lou compte énormément. Fière de l’avoir à mes côtés.
November 12, 2025 at 9:20 PM
With a long career in the labour movement and decades of campaign experience across the country, Lou’s support means a lot. I’m grateful to have him on our team.

Richard is not only a good friend, but a respected environmentalist and biologist, and was a committed Member of Parliament.

Richard’s support means a lot in this race, and will be invaluable as we work together to build a stronger, more sustainable future.

It is always an honour to be part of the beautiful Remembrance Day ceremony in Old Strathcona.

Joining members of the South Alberta Light Horse Regiment, representatives from the Edmonton Police, Edmonton Firefighters & community members at Light Horse Park cenotaph is a cherished tradition.

Richard n’est pas seulement un bon ami, c’est aussi un environnementaliste et biologiste respecté, et il a été un député engagé.

Le soutien de Richard est très précieux dans cette course et sera inestimable alors que nous travaillons ensemble pour construire un avenir plus fort et plus durable.

On Remembrance Day, I think of my grandfather, Daniel Alberta McCoy, a WWII gunner, whose plane was shot down over Belgium.

His story reminds me that remembrance is not just about war. We must honour those who served by committing ourselves to peace, justice, and humanity.

A fun night with some really beautiful folks! I am so grateful for the support of so many people who have been with me on this journey since the beginning. Thank you to everyone who came out tonight and a particular thank you to Kara and Cam for inviting us all into your beautiful home. 🧡

Always a pleasure to meet with my friend, Terry Parker, from the Building Trades of Alberta.

There is a lot of work we can do together - protecting Canadian jobs, stopping Company unions like CLAC, and getting Canadian workers rights enshrined in law.

Great meeting with constituents from the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada.

These dedicated public servants are deeply concerned about Mark Carney’s budget. Cuts, outsourcing & AI will hurt the health, safety & security of Canadians.

(Holly, the lab, agrees 😉)

Le soutien à notre campagne ne cesse de grandir. Je suis profondément touchée.

Le soutien d’Ashiq, un leader réfléchi et un militant engagé du parti, compte énormément pour moi.

The support our campaign is getting keeps growing. I'm humbled by it all.

As a thoughtful leader and party activist, Ashiq's support means a lot.
