The NDP must be a political home for every worker – white collar, blue collar, or no collar. That means defending workers’ rights that have been under attack for decades while confronting new threats posed by app-based gig work, AI, and precarious jobs. Our plan → lewisforleader.ca

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

Barrie #Ontario recently declared a "state of emergency" over homelessness. But for its mayor, the risk to human lives is not the emergency. The visibility of poverty is. New op-ed from Nir Hagigi: ricochet.media/justice/hous... #onpoli #Barrie #housingisahumanright

In Barrie, poverty is the crime and visibility the emergency
The Ontario city’s so-called ‘state of emergency’ is a manufactured crisis built on cruelty, not care

Police interference w/ harm reduction services is a growing crisis. Surveilling services, arresting clients & other abuses cause service avoidance, violate peoples right to healthcare & highlights urgent need for binding non-interference policies. @filtermag.bsky.social @hivlegalnetwork.bsky.social

Police in Ontario Increasingly Obstruct Harm Reduction Service Delivery
Police surveillance and interference block life-saving care as the province becomes more hostile to harm reduction, our study shows.

The fed gov cuts to pay for military and wealthy tax cuts have rapidly expanded. My new analysis shows that most of the cuts will now be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. @policyalternatives.ca 🧵👇👇

Ontario’s Lieutenant Governor has authority to reserve Royal Assent on the Ontario Government’s Safer Streets, Stronger Communities Act, which is both unconstitutional and being rushed through a flawed, undemocratic process. Sign the petition today: form.123formbuilder.com/6777598/peti...

HIV on the rise in Canada, yet politicians like Ford, Poilievre, Rustad are working to close overdose prevention sites - which also prevent HIV transmission. #WorldAIDSDay www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Fewer people worldwide are getting HIV — so why are rates going up in Canada? | CBC News
Substantial progress has been made in fighting HIV/AIDS globally and more people with the disease are living longer thanks to advances in treatment, but a new study from The Lancet HIV medical journal suggests the world is still far from ending HIV as a public health threat, as evidenced by rising infection rates in countries like Canada.
