Residential school survivors should not have to plead for funding. Please read this thread to find out how the Liberal government is cutting funding to healing programs for residential school survivors.

Liberal MP Sean Casey was demoted by Mark Carney last week after voting in favour of Jenny Kwan’s Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act. When will the Liberals stop punishing MPs for doing their job—and finally act to close this loophole?

Last week, Avi Lewis and our NDP caucus joined Bank of Canada security workers on the picket line. As the Liberals ramp up their attacks on the right to strike, we'll keep standing with workers to fight back, together.

Rising residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism have created an environment where white supremacists feel emboldened to target and intimidate First Nations in their communities. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable.

By taxing the richest 0.3% of Canadians, some 133,000 people, we could raise $1 billion per year to go towards fixing our broken healthcare system, building affordable housing, or creating a national public grocery network to drive down the cost of groceries. No selling of our airports required.

Met with PSAC workers this morning who are fighting for a fair deal. The Bank of Canada should respect workers’ rights, stop replacing highly trained in-house security officers with contractors & SCABS, & get back to the table. Public institutions should protect workers, not undermine them.
