Thank you Mallory Roe, IAFF local 905 Trustee & Chad Porter, IAFF local 905 President for joining me in Ottawa last week. I stand with you in finally seeing an end to ‘forever chemicals’ found in firefighters gear & for firefighter safety while on the job.

Canada is the only country w/universal healthcare, without universal pharmacare. With pharmacare, the overall savings 2 Canadians $4B along w/savings 2 our healthcare system, as we see ⬆️ numbers of individuals end up in emergency rooms because they can’t afford their medications

Wishing all those celebrating a peaceful Passover surrounded by loved ones, joy and community. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Bills or groceries? This is the choice Canadians are making while Liberals cave to lobbyists & big oil & gas make record profits.

Canadians can’t expect better from Conservatives who want to take away dental care & free medications.

It’s time oil and gas pay what they owe.

Thank you Lisa Marie Barron for presenting our petition in House of Commons today!

Ironically, it was exactly 1 year ago today that you attended our Frozen Pension Lobby Day.
If you squint and look in the lower right hand corner you can make out your name!

Thank you!

The theme for #NationalVolunteerWeek : 'Every Moment Matters,' is more relevant now than ever, and I'm grateful for all the dedicated volunteers in our communities!

Coastal waters need all the help they can get as waters continue to warm and marine ecosystems suffer. Abandoned vessels pollute #oceans leaving lasting impacts on food security, marine life, communities, & safety.

This Gov’t needs to clean up this mess & support my Bill C-344!

The Liberal & Conservative track record on #electoralreform reform speak for themselves. We need those elected to be representative of communities so real solutions can put people & the planet before profits. As the NDP Critic for Democratic Reform, I'll hold them to account.

Glad to see this progress thanks to the NDP and the federal government. Now let's get the Sustainable Jobs Act over the finish line – workers are paying close attention. #C50

Poilievre claimed that 'there is no industrial carbon tax on the oil and gas sector' and then went on a condescending rant about how I should do my research.

He's either ignorant about the policy he says he wants to run an election on, or he's deliberately misleading Canadians.

Thank you KidSport for meeting with me today to discuss the importance of the Federal gov’t investing in children and youth to ensure they have equitable access to sports and all the benefits that go along with it!

Kids should not go hungry at school. Canada is the only G7 country without a #NationalSchoolFoodProgram . As a previous school board trustee, I saw the impacts on kids without the nutrition needed. My question to the PM was answered today & food programming will be in the budget!

Pierre Poilievre likes to talk a lot.
But he's silent on the things that are harming Canadians.

He'd rather protect the profits of rich CEOs, than help people.

Whenever Mr. Poilievre puts forward a plan to fight corporate greed or the climate crisis, I am ready to debate it.

Watch as I confront the CEO of Air Canada about the unacceptable treatment of flight attendants who work tirelessly, yet often unpaid. It's time for airlines to prioritize fairness and respect for their hardworking employees. Let's stand together in support of #UnpaidWorkWontFly

In Nanaimo, people are worried about the soaring cost of living.

Conservatives/Liberals have let corporate greed get out of control.

New Democrats like Lisa Marie Barron are fighting to make life affordable with pharmacare, dental care — and to lower grocery bills.

Corporate greed is hurting Canadians.

Foodbank usage is at a 35-year high, while corporate grocery makes historic profits.

Loaves and Fish Food Bank is helping families impacted.

Lisa Marie Barron and I are taking on greedy CEOs and Conservatives, to help get your prices down.

We had Lisa Marie Barron and Jagmeet Singh lending a hand at our Free Food Market, thank you for your help on that wet and cold Friday and for your support of our new warehouse project! #Food4All #VancouverIsland
