Liberals have let the ultra-rich off the hook for years. But thanks to the NDP’s capital gains changes, the wealthiest will pay a little more.

Pierre Poilievre doesn't like this. Maybe that’s why he’s dining with Bay Street billionaires at a cash-for-access fundraiser tonight.

Liberals have failed First Nations.

Even if you doubled the homes in First Nations communities there still wouldn't be enough to meet the housing demand.

We must do better.

I don’t think the Minster of Northern Affairs Dan Vandal believed me when I told him fresh produce are being sent straight to the dump. My constituents in Nunavut tell me this and here is a recent photo shared with me by Zacharias Kunuk.

Sending in militarized police and snipers to stop students from exercising their First Amendment rights is truly disgusting.

Why are my colleagues and the mainstream media more outraged over these anti-war protests than they are about the over 35,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza?

Big news coming out of Montreal - the injunction made against the McGill encampment in an effort to get it removed has been rejected in court.

A big win for the Palestine solidarity movement and students and the broader community protesting everywhere ✊

We are witnessing the weaponization of law enforcement in New York City under the watch of a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President—all because these leaders rather defend a genocide over listening to the voices of the people.

It’s wrong.

Today is the tax deadline. So, I asked Chrystia Freeland to take a look at who's been letting the rich avoid tax.

Lazy Liberals let corporations avoid $30B in tax.

Corporate Conservatives gave away $60B in corporate tax cuts when in power.

Isn't it obvious? Both serve billionaires.

United Nations Geneva: 'Since the beginning of the war, we have 182 staff members who have been killed, more than 160 premises damaged or totally destroyed.

Most of these premises were sheltering displaced people - more than 400 people have been killed in these premises' Philippe Lazzarini

Let me be clear: Antisemitism is horrific and vile and has no place in this country.

But it is not antisemitic to want to stop an illegal war.

Netanyahu is trying to deflect attention away from the horrendous situation his right-wing, extremist government has created in Gaza.

Automatic tax filing should be a no-brainer in Canada.

Why pay companies like H&R Block for information the government already has?

That's why wrote to CRA Minister Bibeau to implement an automatic tax-filing system and make life easier for Canadians.

Columbia University hired private investigators to pursue pro-Palestine students. Vanderbilt University canceled a divestment vote, then expelled students after they protested. Pomona College sent police officers in riot gear to arrest 20 students.
