Were you extra-billed? In other words, did the clinic...

Did you know 4 out of 5 Canadians do not have access to pharmacare? That’s not right. Join me and tell Mark Carney to keep his campaign promise.

The Alberta government has issued a new plan for combatting "gender-based violence."

Interesting choice to note the high rates of gender-based violence against LGBTQ2S+ people, even as the AB government pushes policy that itself leads to more of that violence 🤔

📌 Poilievre, Defender of Harper’s Worst Hits
❗ Cut funding for Indigenous kids
❗ Gutted social safety nets
❗ Let corporate landlords and oil giants call the shots

And now?
He wants you to believe he’s fighting “elites.”
You deserve better.

Politicians like Poilievre are seeking to use the turbulent times we are in to scare voters into forgetting what our real options are. It’s in their best interest to make us think we have no choice.

The Liberals & Conservatives are handing billions to the wealthy with tax cuts that leave low-income Canadians behind.

Up to $14B/year lost—money that could fight poverty, fix healthcare & build housing.

This isn’t relief. It’s robbery.

Cracking down on corporate tax dodging will mean billions of dollars in revenue for building affordable homes, creating jobs, hiring doctors and nurses, and expanding pharmacists.

Only New Democrats will build a tax system that works for people—not for billionaires.

You're paying your taxes. Big corporations aren't.

Canada loses $39 billion a year when corporations dodge taxes. That's money that should be going towards fixing health care and building affordable homes.
