The difference between the president and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion.

He lacks both of those things.

Canadians call for halt to ICE armored vehicle sale after report by The Independent Canadian MP Jenny Kwan says she will be proposing revisions to a bill she sponsored, that would prevent such items from going to the United States

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand.

Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments.

The Liberals are telling Canadians to sacrifice during a jobs crisis. They have no money to sign pharmacare agreements or meet their housing promises, but they found half a billion dollars to reward companies that just eliminated 4,000 Canadian jobs.

Calling out each and every BC Liberal MP: are you going to stand with BC, our coastal waters, communities and Indigenous nations or support PM Carney as he tramples over these, puts our economy at risk and deepens the climate crisis?

Alarming CBC reporting shows Canadian-branded weapons ending up with Sudan’s RSF — a force accused of mass atrocities.

Did the PM raise this while signing a trade pact in the region?

Canadians need answers. The Liberals must launch a full investigation and close the loopholes now.

Millions of Canadians are struggling. Yet the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers, while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations. New Democrats have a better plan: positive, constructive policies to build a stronger, fairer Canada.
