Big congratulations to Wab Kinew & the Manitoba NDP for making history with a victory tonight. I just called Wab to say he led an inspiring campaign focused on what matters most to the people of Manitoba; improving health, making life more affordable & bringing people together.

The violence in Palestine and Israel is heartbreaking. I share the despair so many of you are feeling, and worry what the days to come may bring. Please read our full statement. ndp.ca/news/ndp-state…

NDP Statement on Devastating Violence in Israel and Palestine « Canada's NDP ndp.ca/news/ndp-state…

“In Haifa and Jaffa, joint Jewish and Arab patrols seek to prevent violence on both sides. In the south, Bedouin residents risk their lives to search for victims of Hamas terror. In the shadow of war, Arab-Jewish solidarity initiatives emerge.” haaretz.com/israel-news/20….

Targeting a business in this way is simply wrong and should not happen. We all need to not lose control of our emotions. We must treat others, our fellow Canadians, with respect and decency

What Thomas L. Friedman⁩ has penned as plea to Biden needs reading by all: « The hour is late. I have never written a column this urgent before because I have never been more worried about how this situation could spin out of control. » #Israel #Palestine nytimes.com/2023/10/19/opi…

Let us remember a great Canadian with the Broadbent Principles: broadbentinstitute.ca/principles

I’m moved by the final paragraph of this generous statement from the Star’s editorial board: “Ed Broadbent was the first New Democrat this newspaper, in this space, endorsed to be Prime Minister of Canada, ahead of the 1979 election. Today, we endorse him again.”

Ed Broadbent’s passing comes as Canadian politics is becoming increasingly toxic, dumbed down and personal. Swinging for the algorithms is augmenting the alienation. We would do well to reflect on Broadbent's vision of public service. Policy Magazine policymagazine.ca/ed-broadbents-…

Remembering Peter Russell, a giant of political science in Canada | Steve Pailin remembers. A gentleman giant, I would add. Peter was a wonderful person in top of being a great and influential scholar. tvo.org/article/rememb…

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
