Capitalism doesn’t lift people out of poverty, it literally keeps millions of us hungry. 12.7% of Canadians suffer from food insecurity while 12% of food in our supply chain is wasted at the retail level - most of which is sent to landfills. There is a better way.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says if elected Prime Minister his government would provided $5 billion to provinces to transition to non-profit long-term care within 10 years. Singh would also "immediately" turn Rivera into a non-profit company. canadanewscentral.ca/singh_ndp_govt…

I'm glad to support Ed Markey and Rep. Jared Huffman's bill to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is not only about the climate crisis. It is about defending Indigenous rights.

2 months ago, I called on Justin Trudeau to stop going after Canadians that applied for CERB in good faith Instead, he let people worry for months Some even felt forced to sell their vehicles to pay up CERB was meant to help people. Not add stress at an already difficult time

While Trudeau talks about jurisdiction, Singh talks up his national strategy to convert all long term care to non-profit tied to legislated national standards globalnews.ca/news/7635251/w…

Note that in seeking details of vaccine contracts, the research/technology was largely publicly financed. Billions of public dollars went into COVID vaccine development (Moderna was almost 100% taxpayer-funded). The public is entitled to see what they helped pay for.

The roots of Canada's COVID-19 vaccine shortage go back decades. Despite multiple warnings, successive Conservative + Liberal governments failed Canadians. It’s time for Canadian self-sufficiency in vaccines and a public drug manufacturer. #NDP theconversation.com/the-roots-of-c…

Roses are red Violets are blue Some have pharma and dental care And all Canadians should have it too.

Anti-maskers have been gathering every weekend in Vancouver and next weekend they are planning a large rally Organizers say "VPD has got our back" and "will not stand in our way" The VPD needs to enforce the public health order and not let them gather! actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop…

Canadians are hurting. Trudeau shouldn’t be figuring out how he can call an election, he should be focused on getting people vaccines and getting them through the pandemic. Sign here if you agree 👇 ndp.ca/vaccinations

The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.

If the Liberals do not vote for Bill #C213 (Canadian Pharmacare Act) when it is exactly what they promised in 1997 and its own hand-picked committee (led by Dr. Eric Hoskins) recommended - it’s proof positive they NEVER will implement universal, public Pharmacare.

STOP 👏 JUDGING 👏 SUCCESS 👏 BY 👏 AMERICAN 👏 STANDARDS 👏 Being not worst is not a victory

Liberals have said for DECADES they support Pharmacare. The Trudeau govt has REPEATEDLY said they will bring it in. Today we vote on legislation to make it happen. We have a minority Parliament that can deliver it - just like Medicare was. Will the Liberals keep their word?

For those trying to make excuses for the Trudeau govt’s rejection of public Pharmacare: the NDP bill follows the SAME form as the Canada Health Act, works in the SAME way that all covered services do & would allow provinces to participate EXACTLY as they currently do in Medicare.

The avg minimum wage in 🇨🇦 is $11.06/hr The avg rent in 🇨🇦 is $1,714/mth Housing is a human right that is out of reach for Canadian workers. There is a better way.

We will no longer tolerate excuses. Forge our future now! Nous n'accepterons plus les excuses. Forgeons notre futur ! #canpoli #cdnpoli
