Canada has a simple choice to make: allow Big Oil’s excess war-driven profits to go directly into the pockets of US/foreign investors and Canada’s richest, or tax those unearned gains and invest back into Canadians and a transition to a future-ready green economy. #cdnpoli

(1/) In Winnipeg, Main Street Project reported that ten community members died from toxic drugs in a single weekend. This is an emergency, yet the Liberals’ Spring Economic Update turned down the opportunity to end this crisis, instead choosing to line the pockets of big corporations.

Corporations have found a creepy new way to rip you off. It's called "surveillance pricing" and it's coming for all of us at the checkout if we don't stop it. Add your name and help stop retailers from price-gouging us with the help of Big Tech: ndp.ca/surveillance-pricing

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

La réponse du Canada démontre pourquoi nous avons besoin du NPD : Poilievre applaudit Trump. Le gouvernement Carney est incapable de formuler un seul mot de critique. Peu importe ce que l'on pense de Maduro, le Canada ne peut pas être complice de cette violation flagrante du droit international.

Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

Canada tabled sweeping legislation today to increase border security, incl powers to cancel or suspend immigration docs immediately, and huge crack downs on asylum applications While Canadians can feel smug about their nationalism in this tarriff-trade war, it's a pretext for anti-migrant control.

CRA penalties on RRSPs and TFSA are punitive attacks on the middle class. But when the system breaks down, CRA tells people, just fill out a "RC343 Worksheet to estimate their TFSA contribution room for the year". Who has time for that? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

TFSA contribution limit info has been unavailable since mid-April, CRA confirms | CBC News
For more than a month, Canadians looking for their remaining contribution room in their tax-free savings accounts (TFSA) on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website have been out of luck.

If BYD is serious about building an EV factory in Canada, the government should be actively pursuing it. Chinese EVs will not stay out of North America forever, and Canada should invite them in to build cars here so we don’t lose that opportunity to the US or Mexico.
