The Liberals are fast tracking resource extraction projects, ignoring the risks of increased violence against Indigenous women and girls.

This year’s budget devoted nothing for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Why is the government again turning its back on us?

People across Canada know that the Liberals’ back door deals with CEOs haven’t made groceries any cheaper.

We need bold responses to price shocks caused by extreme weather and corporate gouging. When will the government act and deliver on a public option for food?

Unsurprisingly, even Liberal insiders are saying Carney’s inner circle lacks women’s voices.

Who else but a group of rich white men would abandon support for childcare, universal pharmacare, sexual and reproductive care and a feminist foreign policy?

WestJet's arbitrary weight restrictions violate the rights of people who use wheelchairs to travel safely in Canada. When will this government close the loopholes in the Accessible Canada Act, uphold disability rights, and hold airline executives accountable when they violate these rights?
