The Guardian's cartoon for the day on July 21:

During the election, Pierre Poilievre threatened to cut CBC & Via Rail (and all public services). Mark Carney promised to protect them.
Now we see Carney demand cuts to all.
Public broadcasting & passenger rail service are essential for our democracy & environment. The NDP will fight for both.

From the UN:
“The wealthiest 1% of the global population owns more than 95% of humanity combined.
And yet the super-wealthy pay less tax than the working and middle class.”
But PM Carney agrees with President Trump to end the tax on Tech billionaires.
Elbows up……for who??

Canada is facing a serious housing crisis.

We’re losing affordable homes faster than we're building them. Skyrocketing rents, renovictions, and insecure tenancies have become all too common.

New Democrats will take bold action to treat housing as a human right, not a commodity.

Canadian workers have had a federal Minister of Labour for >100 years, until now. They need & deserve one - workers have serious issues with inflation + affordability & had major strikes/lockouts at Canada Post, the ports & rail. Only the NDP is a credible voice for workers in Parliament.
