If you are the leader of Israel, the Jewish State that rose from the ashes of Auschwitz, you bear responsibility for the consequences of your policies. PM Netanyahu, you have a solemn duty to protect & feed the innocent children of Palestine #NeverAgain winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analys…

New Democrats are horrified by and condemn the massacre by Israeli troops of over 100 Palestinians seeking life-saving aid.

Canada must take action to save lives.

Tomorrow, Parliament will debate actions proposed by the NDP.

We urge the other parties to support our motion.

Keep going Leader Singh. Because of cost, we have people coming to ER just for diabetic supplies, admitted to ICU with multiorgan failure due to diabetic ketoacidosis and admitted with astronomically high sugars. This is nation building. Jagmeet Singh

PHARMACARE UPDATE

Today, we have taken the first steps towards an NDP National Pharmacare plan by covering birth control and diabetes medication.

Pharmacare means that you will get the medicine you need with your health card, not a credit card.

Pierre Polievre is choosing to spread disinformation and hate. This kind of rhetoric harms trans and gender diverse people across the country.

Anti-2SLGBTQI+ hatred and violence is a growing threat. All politicans must work together to build a safer future.

While Netanyahu bombs children in Rafah, a place Palestinians were told would be safe, the Canadian gov’t authorizes millions in new military exports to Israel. Minister Joly is not being honest!
This could make Canada complicit in war crimes & genocide. Canadians expect better!

Over one hundred UNRWA staff have been killed in this horrifying war. UNRWA’s staff of 30,000 provides essential services to Palestinians. Of course any UNRWA staff involved in Oct 7 should be prosecuted. But cutting funding to millions of desperate people is not the answer.

One of Ed @Broadbent's signature accomplishments was pressuring Pierre Trudeau to include Indigenous & women's rights in the Charter of Rights & Freedoms. This hand-written first draft of what became s. 35 of the Charter hangs in the Broadbent Institute's Toronto office #cdnpoli

As another storm approaches #Halifax , various outreach teams in the city again scramble to help unhoused clients get somewhere inside (few and far between) or batten down the hatches to keep themselves dry and warm.

This cycle is wearing out everyone involved.

We agree! 'It's unacceptable, and frankly unsustainable, that while workers struggle to meet basic needs due to stagnant wages and high inflation, the rich continue to boost their wealth by paying themselves more and profiting from inflationary forces.'- Bert Blundon, NUPGE
