Remember when every leader wanted their picture taken with Greta? She is still that truth teller, they just can't face the truth of their crimes.
Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Who's gonna look back at 2025 and wistfully tell their family about Carney building another pipeline?

That's not the kind of history any of us want to repeat.

That's why we're proposing a Green New Deal: solutions to make life affordable and keep our world livable.

Carney is throwing money at the war machine; we're fighting for a Canadian Green New Deal. Who's going to turn down cheaper bills for heat, AC, & their commute in favour of sucking up to weapons contractors?

Absolutely shameful, also absolutely predictable.

Israel acts with violence and impunity towards Canadian MPs?

The Carney government should impose immediate diplomatic & economic consequences.

This appalling treatment cannot be met by mushy words that ultimately amount to capitulation.

In 2003, they were the only two MPs to endorse Jack Layton for leader. They saw what our party could be. 

That’s the tradition I want to help renew in the NDP. I’m humbled by their support.

Mark Carney has put a target on BC’s coast—with a plan to dig up Burrard Inlet so tankers can carry even more crude through these waters.

It’s time for a federal NDP leader who will say “no” to Big Oil—and fight to protect the places we love.

At the same time as private clinics take budget money and staff away from public hospitals, they are taking the easy, non-complex, profitable surgeries and diagnostic tests while leaving the more complex, heavier care and more expensive patients behind.

The announcements in the summer ($155 million) and this week (another $125 million) are very large amounts of public money. That public money is shifted from improving capacity in our public hospitals to funding new private clinics, the vast majority of which are for-profit.
