This week has been a stark reminder that when we sit idly by as the climate crisis escalates, our neighbours' basements fill with sewage, community infrastructure is damaged, tennis bail sized hail falls, and thousands face days-long hydro outages. (1/2)

The climate crisis is here, and action is long overdue

On June 6, the Vancouver Centre NDP joined the 12th annual Red Umbrella March. We stood with sex workers calling for safety, dignity, and the same rights as other workers; for justice for migrant workers; and for a real say in the laws that govern their work. Sex workers' rights are workers' rights!

1/ The Liberal government might as well have called its AI strategy “All in for AI”. This is a document that's heavy on hype, but light on the right guardrails that we need to protect people – and to ensure that the benefits of the technology don’t just flow to a handful of tech giants & investors.

When one of the Liberals’ biggest climate champions feels he must leave the Liberal caucus in order to fight climate change, it says everything you need to know about the government’s sense of urgency on this file. There is none. PM Carney has abandoned climate action at our collective expense.

Canada must act on its moral and legal obligation to allow Palestinians fleeing genocide to seek refuge within our borders. Our ongoing complicity in these horrors is unconscionable.

No person should be displaced against their will, and the calls coming from both Jerusalem and Washington to rid all of Gaza of Palestinians are patently illegal. But those who choose life-saving refuge, including temporary refuge, also have that right enshrined. Our government’s inaction is a massive ethical failing and a clear violation of obligations under international humanitarian law. These obligations are particularly acute given Canada’s long and ongoing track record of providing military and diplomatic support to Israel, thereby contributing to the horrific conditions that are producing the urgent need for refuge.
