On Wednesday, the DSC marched in solidarity with Grassy Narrows. This ongoing mercury poisoning is part of a broader capitalist system linked to colonialism. The advancement of Indigenous rights will only be obtained in a socialist society, where people are no longer at the mercy of profit.

The DSC's statement condemning Canada's weaponization of immigration law to manipulate the outcomes of the 2026 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship in Ottawa.
Sports. Are. Political. Canada has forced the Iranian men's wheelchair basketball team to withdraw from the Wheelchair Basketball World Championships in Ottawa. And it is likely tied to Canada's subservience to Big Oil and American Imperialism.  On September 6, 2026, the Iran Sports Federation for the Disabled announced it was withdrawing from the Ottawa 2026 IWBF World Championship because the Canadian government had not provided the team's coaching staff with visas on time. Headline is shown confirming this from the Tehran Times.  

On the SAME DAY, the Canadian government put out a statement, condemening Iran for continuing to prevent the passage of oil vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.  This is a political choice in the name of American imperialism.  
The IWBF World Championship determines the number of qualification spots allocated to each continent at the Paralympics. Iran's forced departure from the championship means less representation for Asia at the 2028 Summer Paralympics in Los Angeles.  
This move could mark a capitulation to the Donald Trump regime in the United States, as it is part of a continued trend to eliminate Iran's participation in international sports, as was seen with their treatment during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.  Let. Iran. Play.  
The Democratic Socialists of Canada (DSC) condemns Canada's weaponization of immigration law to manipulate the outcomes of the 2026  
Wheelchair Basketball World Championship in Ottawa and, consequently, the 2028 Summer Paralympics in Los Angeles.  
The DSC calls on the IWBF Executive Council to find no competitive misconduct regarding the Iranian national team's forced withdrawal from the tournament, and to take no punitive measures for circumstances outside their control.  
The DSC expresses full solidarity with the Iranian peoples in struggle, the Paralympic community, and all others who face the brunt of imperialist aggression.

Canada could spend $9B on education and culture and it would go way further in defending Canadian sovereignty than handing it over to arms dealers.

Canada Post is trying to convince you that the union is being unreasonable... and that it's necessary to roll back workers' rights to fix their money problems. Don't fall for it. ... a 🧵 #canadapost #supportpostalworkers #postalstrike

Doug Ford is trying to stop Ontario cities from making decisions for themselves, including on how to build homes 🏡 This is an attack on local efforts to phase out fossil fuels 😡 Tell him to back off! 📧

Doug Ford is trampling on cities’ rights. We need to push back.
Tell provincial officials to get out of the way of progress and local climate action!

Please sign the @leadnowca.bsky.social petition regarding a Canadian arms embargo on Israel. This is one of many wars that need to stop. The violence needs to stop globally and we need to enter a period of rebuilding, compassion, and healing.

Implement a full, two-way arms embargo without delay.
Join me in calling on Prime Minister Carney to implement a full, two-way arms embargo on Israel without delay.
