I was honoured to attend the Alberta Federation of Labour with @blakedesjarlais.bsky.social alongside so many passionate workers who are fighting for their rights, fair wages, and a better future.

The NDP will always fight for workers.๐ŸงกโœŠ

Together, we achieved dental care coverage, protections for workers, affordable housing and childcare, a national school food program and more, but thereโ€™s so much more to do and we canโ€™t let the Conservatives put these things on the chopping block.

Vote early this weekendโ€”itโ€™s easy and fun!

In a country as wealthy as ours, no one should go hungry.

Thatโ€™s why New Democrats will cap the cost of food and essentials.

YouTube video by Charlie Angus CHARLIE ANGUS - ELBOWS UP/ RALLY FOR CANADA- London, Ontario

Donald Trump thought Canada was an easy mark.
But we come from a long line of fascist fighters.
Canada will not break. We will not bend. We will not kiss the gangster ring.
Please share this footage of my Elbows Up tour stop in London.

Israel continues genocide in Palestine:

For weeks humanitarian relief has been blocked.

Last night massive carpet bombing murdered hundreds of civilians; after repeated violations of the ceasefire.

Stop the bombs!

Two-way arms embargo now!

Humanitarian aide now!

End the genocide now! ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Protect Canadians

Guarantee the price of what we grow and need.

Cap the price of food and rent.

The Conservative Govt here in Alberta is an insight into the kind of destruction Pierreโ€™s Conservatives want to bring across Canada:

A future without:
Public Healthcare
Affordable Childcare
Good union jobs

On top of selling out Canada to Trump!

In Alberta, we know the cost of Conservatives.

The government just announced high-speed rail in Canadaโ€”but through a public-private partnership.

Revisit our video which imagines a just future of train travel, one thatโ€™s accessible, green, and most importantly, publicly-owned. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MhQ...

The allegations contained in former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulosโ€™ statement of claim are absolutely shocking.

If these claims are true, this is the worst scandal and biggest cover-up in Albertaโ€™s history.

I have never seen a Conservative politician ever stand with workers on a picket line.

When push comes to shove and workers demand fair wages they are NOWHERE to be found.

Canadians pay for income security.

Itโ€™s called Employment Insurance (EI).

But over the decades itโ€™s been left outdated, insufficient & not up to the crisisโ€™ we face today.

Workers shouldnโ€™t have to pay for the reckless decisions of American Billionaires.

We need an EI system that works!
