Member of Parliament, Leah Gazan, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney last Thursday, urging the government to ensure the safety of wildfire evacuees, especially women and girls at high risk of violence.

Jack Layton passed away 14 years ago today. Jack would have been Canada’s first NDP Prime Minister, and he left us a united, bilingual, national party. In the wake of the worst election in our movement’s history, we have an obligation to honour Jack’s strong legacy by rebuilding.

i just got an Access to Information request I made 5 years ago. The federal ATIP laws and process need serious updating and overhauling to improve efficiency.

I again urge the Canadian government to:

Winnipeg MP slams back-to-work order for Air Canada flight attendants Disappointment was the prevailing mood on the picket line outside Winnipeg’s airport Saturday, following a federal back-to-work order.

Proud to join Air Canada flight attendants in Winnipeg this morning, calling out the Liberal government who is forcing binding arbitration.

It is time for the liberal government to stop being “elbows up” against Canadian workers/ women and gender equality!

The murder of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza is another reminder of how little the Israeli Defence Force cares about international law as it continues committing genocide in Gaza.

That’s because Netanyahu and IDF leaders know their allies won’t push back. (1/3)

The Samson Cree Nation Powwow is one of the biggest and best in Canada. Extraordinary dancers. Amazing atmosphere. More than 35,000 people came this year. Many thanks to the tireless work of the organizers and volunteers!

Air Canada flight attendants stage national day of action to end unpaid work and win a fair contract Air Canada flight attendants staged a national day of action at airports across Canada today, to highlight the rampant abuse of unpaid work in the airline industry, and the need for a fair contract.

Solidarity with @cupescfp.bsky.social flight attendants staging a national day of action today rejecting poverty wages and unpaid work. So much of the travel we rely on depends on these workers, and they deserve a fair contract.

A graphic reading "25 books by Black Canadian authors to read in honour of Emancipation Day" by CBC Books. 5 books are featured.

Today is Emancipation Day in Canada, across the Caribbean, and other regions - marking the day slavery was abolished in the British Empire. My book, The Book of Possibilities, has been featured on a few Emancipation Day reading lists, and I'm grateful!

Lemme tell y'all a bit about the day:

It’s essential we strategize together to address these critical issues. Opportunities to share experiences to achieve progressive change are essential. I’m so thankful that @loriidlout.bsky.social, @donvdavies.bsky.social, @charlieangus104.bsky.social and I can join these conversations.

People across the world are experiencing the absolute failure of neoliberalism, with an escalating climate emergency, falling real incomes for working people alongside growing profits for the billionaire class, and the rise of far right authoritarianism threatening our fundamental human rights.

Bill C-5: Now What? | First Peoples Law | Bruce McIvor Prime Minister Carney made it clear last week when he met with Indigenous leaders that he doesn't intend to make changes to Bill C-5

Carney’s traveling disinformation campaign, along with his Ministers, claiming that Bill C-5, honours treaties and modern treaties is disturbing.

Is Carney “elbows up” against Indigenous peoples?
