100% this. Endless police $ isn’t the answer. Finland solved their homelessness problems by funding people not police. We can do the same if we want to. It starts by voting no on budgets that go against your beliefs and morals. Fund #PlacesForPeople

NL has the highest diabetes rates in Canada.

We won a national solution to get people the medicine and equipment they need, but the government isn’t making NL a priority.

We need to organize and win more seats, so we can deliver for people again.

Feds to reduce housing spending by half, build only 26,000 homes: Budget watchdog | CBC News Spending on housing programs will decline by more than half over the next four years with the federal government’s $13-billion signature housing initiative leading to the construction of just 26,000 n...

The PBO is clear: the govt is cutting housing spending in the middle of a national housing crisis. They’re leaving people out in the cold while pretending everything is fine. It’s cruel.

On the left: a photo of a baby swaddled in a blanket with a beaded pattern. On the right: text that reads “Many Indigenous mothers must travel hundreds of kilometres to give birth. Meet the women changing that. A resurgence of traditional midwifery is bringing deliveries back home”

Many Indigenous parents have long been denied something most Canadians take for granted: giving birth close to home. The Walrus contributing writer @michellecyca.com reports on how the revival of Indigenous midwifery is offering families a sense of autonomy: thewalrus.ca/many-indigenous-...

Ottawa says new provincial bill likely kills at least 3 bike lane projects | CBC News New provincial legislation prohibiting how municipalities can build bike lanes means three projects in Ottawa likely can't move forward and others will get more expensive, according to a city report.

Bill 60 means that we will not be able to add cycle tracks to Albert and Slater Street or extend the O’Connor bike lane to Wellington Street. It’s an absurd overreach by the Ford government that will make all road users less safe and waste millions. I hate it here.

Workers for the NDP

The NDP was built by workers for workers. Now corporate greed is crushing families while politicians look the other way. Help build an NDP powered by workers and ready to fight for every worker – get involved: share.canadianlabour.ca/s/Wr5y3vns

Who else thinks that folks like @sjamieit.bsky.social and @pbickerton.bsky.social and everyone at @strongtownsottawa.ca should be nominated for an Order of Ottawa Award?

Canadians are already worried about keeping their jobs, putting food on the table and paying rent.

Carneys budget will only make this worse. We need changes based in fairness and taking care of each other.

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

The Ford government's handling of the Skills Development Fund is exactly why we cannot trust them to take over our schools. Too often, this government has prioritized giving handouts to insiders rather than real investments in classrooms and students.

Bonne Journée des Franco-Ontariennes et des Franco-Ontariens en ce 50ᵉ anniversaire du drapeau franco-ontarien!
Vive la fierté franco-ontarienne, longue vie à la langue française en Ontario, et poursuivons ensemble la lutte pour davantage de services en français partout dans la province.

In the meantime I recommend that adult children of Boomers or Silent Generation use the parental controls of their parents’ set-top boxes block out Fox News.

Avi Lewis speaking with a megaphone in front of a crowd

Watching @avilewis.ca speak at a local restaurant patio in Niagara (where the Ontario NDP convention is happening) to a full crowd, speaking about wealth inequality and the need for addressing food insecurity. Lewis announced his run for the NDP leadership today.

YouTube video by Avi Lewis Why I’m running for NDP leader

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.
