Canadians deserve an NDP that fights for people, not powerful interests. Last election showed we need real change. A rushed leadership race means more of the same.

Former MP @libbydavies.bsky.social‬ has been part of rabble since day one. Now she’s calling on you to help keep it going. Support 24 years of truth-telling journalism.

Thanks so much Stephen for your courage, integrity and a lifetime of passionate and powerful advocacy for justice and human rights.

So glad my dear friend Libby Davies @libbydavies.bsky.social and I had a chance to reconnect with Stephen during Avi's recent election campaign.

Deep respect. ❀️

The Park Board is out beautifying our neighbourhoods. If you see these signs or you see the gardeners, give thanks for the work that’s done that makes our city so beautiful.

The Liberal candidate in Esquimalt–Saanich–Sooke presents herself as a champion of workers, despite the fact she recently worked at BC’s most vilified anti-union law firm

Stephanie McLean was also a Pierre Poilievre donor in 2023 before deciding to run for the Liberals last month:

That was a great day of meeting with voters in the west end and so energizing to see how @avilewis.bsky.social listens and engages and demonstrates what an excellent MP he will be! We need his voice in Ottawa to keep the govt honest !

Vancouver's 2024 civic salaries show city's top cop receives top pay Soon to retire Police Chief Adam Palmer is the highest paid city of Vancouver employee. For more salaries read more.

The seven Park Board Commissioners collectively earn $149,846 annually.

Remember that number when people say abolishing the Park Board will save over $7M per year.

Abolishment is about making decisions behind closed doors. It’s not about saving money.

Vancouverites have overwhelmingly rejected the direction of ABC. Both successful candidates campaigned against abolishing the elected Park Board. @davidebybc.bsky.social @jervaler.bsky.social, no democratically elected body should be suspended without a clear mandate from voters. #vanpoli #bcpoli 1/

I’m hoping this civic byelection has a good outcome & strong message to Ken Sim that he’s lost trust & taken our city in the wrong direction. Voting for @lucymaloney.bsky.social will help deliver that message!

Civic by-elections are usually low turnout & hardly noticed. This one is crystallizing the staggering list of β€œmistakes” & contempt for voters by Ken Sim & cronies. I hope this by-election voters send him a stern message #democracycounts #ethicscount

More than 200,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship Parliamentary petition launched due to billionaire’s link to Trump, who has repeatedly threatened to conquer Canada

I get it, why should Canadian citizenship be tainted by his cruel worldview, odious politics & vile actions. But however good it might feel, citizenship stripping is a slippery human rights slope we should stay away from.
