Serena Purdy🇨🇦🍁

My thoughts are with those affected by today’s fire in Little Italy.

A life has been lost, a shop damaged, and 3 ppl have been displaced. My condolences are with them

It's heartening to see the rapid and kind community response.

Thank you to emergency responders who saved lives and nearby homes.

The Liberals want you to believe they’re the only option to counter Trump but that’s not true. Vote for the candidate who actually fights for you on every level.

I’m Serena Purdy, running for MP in Uni–Rose. Let’s shake up the status quo.

Stay smart, Canada! It's good for your heart.

I don't think that's the humblebrag you think it is ...

They’re coming for women in politics with AI-generated lies and deepfake attacks.

This isn’t just harassment—it’s an attempt to push women out of leadership. We see it. We reject it. And we’ll PUNCH UP every single time. 💪🔥

Yes, and: Perfect credit scores and no missed payments? We're in a trade war after a pandemic lockdown. Economic shocks are the mark of our times even for established working class people.

If a party were serious they would build homes and address the financialization of housing.

The right isn’t just attacking women in politics—they’re using AI-generated fake porn to discredit female politicians. It’s a strategy to silence and humiliate women who challenge them. My video tomorrow exposes this. As a leftist woman running, I know: the right hates us, but we’re not backing down

Stay informed!

We live in a world of increasingly sophisticated disinformation. Remember that disinfo may contain an element of truth, and then mislead you.

We're not safeguarding progressive policies with a Liberal vote. Chrétien opened the door for healthcare privatization in the 90s and we're paying the price.

"We can give ourselves more than the US can ever take."

If 'ourselves' was Canada and Canadians we would nationalize mining and prioritize indigenous leadership.

If 'ourselves' is super-rich private cos ... You give Ford and friends control & "The emphasis is on private construction."

Great, now I'm going to have the Loony Toons theme song stuck in my head all day.

Oh ElMo, If at first someone else succeeds, buy their company and fail until it's broke

Attacks on academic freedom can and have happened in Canada, too.

Does anyone remember Bill C-51, introduced by Cons and insufficiently amended by Libs? Or Harper muzzling scientists?

Thank you for the kind words, Thorben. As someone who's been in the trenches with you, that means a lot.

This didn't just start now. Active disinformation and hate mongering from the US ramped up during the pandemic, targeting resource rich areas in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.

This is how they cut Americans off from their friends and family in Canada. That's what abusers do to increase control and decrease access to help and support.

I'm so relieved she's home and safe. My heart goes out to the detainees that were left behind in inhumane conditions.

Were you at Jess's nomination meeting? I was the MC who did the fundraising. I hear, some of my jokes were even funny 🤣.
I'm community rooted, so I wanted to pivot and do the campaign launch and then some community events to do my fundraising. We have so many brilliant local artists and spaces.

Hi Heather, are you a University-rosedale NDP member? If so, you should have received an email from the RA when I was acclaimed as the candidate. We're planning a campaign launch shortly!

This is actually a brilliant idea. Canada can make its own bourbon, f-35s, agricultural equipment, etc.

Don't honour US IP agreements. They don't plan to honour theirs.

It's a non-tariff response to the trade war that actually helps domestic production and workers.

Genuine question: which coverage were you watching?

Watching the Overton Window shift further right.

I’m stepping forward to announce my candidacy for Federal NDP in University-Rosedale. Inspired by the legacies of Jack Layton and Tommy Douglas, I’m ready to fight for a fairer, more just future.

In a world where others punch down, it’s time to punch up.

According to an Association of Municipalities of Ontario report, at least 1,400 encampments were reported across Ontario in 2023. We need equity-based solutions to end homelessness. A body of research already points the way. www.wellesleyinstitute.com/housing/home...

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
