NDP

Congratulations to President Lula and the people of Brazil! Brazilians have chosen democracy, social justice and a future that rejects the far right. This is a powerful reminder that progressives can win when we fight for working people, stand up for our values and never give up hope.

BC, today is the day. In this pivotal election, every single vote counts. Vote for your BCNDP candidate from 8am to 8pm today. Find out where you can vote at wheretovote.elections.bc.ca

I'm so honoured to receive CAMIMH's 2026 Champion of Mental Health Parliamentarian Award. This recognition belongs to the advocates, families & people with lived experience who inspire me every day. Mental health care is health care. My Bill C-280 fights to make that promise a reality for everyone.

Today, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social honoured Irene Mathyssen in the House of Commons. Irene was a champion who fought to make life better for all Canadians. Let us honour her by carrying her legacy forward.

Bill C-39 puts foreign investors’ profits ahead of workers’ rights, environmental protections and Indigenous rights. Canada’s top scientists warn it will cause irreversible harm. So why are the Liberals limiting scrutiny instead of giving this bill the thorough review it demands?

Why is this government allowing Israeli companies blacklisted for genocide to acquire Canadian companies - contrary to our own laws and policies? The government's response is what exactly?

I’m hearing from friends in Alberta that today is actually hitting folks pretty hard. Not the vote to remain, which was a relief, but the other 9 questions.

A betrayal of veterans. A betrayal of Buy Canadian. All for less than 1%. The Liberals gave a nearly $12M CRA contract to a U.S.-owned firm with reported ICE ties instead of the Canadian Commissionaires. I challenged this hypocrisy in Parliament. Our veterans deserve better. Canadians deserve better

Since the first few waves of votes were counted last night, I’ve been struggling to think of what to say about the results. Here’s a few of my thoughts. heathermcphersonmp.substack.com/p/we-chose-u...

Tommy Douglas knew then what New Democrats still know today. If we could mobilize the resources of this country to defeat Nazi tyranny, there is no reason we cannot do the same to make sure that each and every person has what they need to live a dignified life. Happy Birthday, Tommy.

TONIGHT! Avi Lewis is joining world-renowned economist Isabella Weber to talk about how Canada can build an economy that serves the many, not the money. Watch the livestream at: www.youtube.com/live/QOdoXQZ...

Canada needs to build housing, infrastructure and good jobs, but not at the expense of workers' rights, Indigenous rights or the environment. Bill C-39 goes too far. We shouldn't fight Trump's policies by adopting his approach. Building Canada strong means building Canada fair.

Election Day! Get out and vote Remain and No to the Nine divisive questions from Danielle Smith. If you have questions, go to the Elections Alberta website: elections.ab.ca Or call my office - 780-495-8404 We're happy to help!

Our thoughts tonight are with the Canadian Forces members at CFB Wainwright, their families, and everyone else affected by this terrible incident. Thank you to the first responders who are on the scene working hard to save lives and provide support at this tragic time.

We are in trouble. The Liberals and Conservatives are working hand in hand to fast track Bill C-39 and fulfil their corporate buddies wish lists at record speed. This is the greatest attack I have seen on the Constitution in my lifetime. (1/2)

VENUE CHANGE: With so many people looking to get tickets, this event has moved to a bigger space. If you weren't able to get tickets before, now is your chance! www.eventbrite.ca/e/anti-fasci...

NDP Leader @avilewis.ca and I joined the BC Assembly of First Nations' Annual General Meeting to discuss how Bill C-39 violates the right to free, prior and informed consent, and Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution. (1/2)

Alberta, it’s time to vote. While American operators and cynical leaders are doing everything they can to sow division, nothing in their toolbox is more powerful than your vote. Head to the polls today, tomorrow or Monday. Vote to remain in Canada, and no to the nine.

Don’t put it off, Alberta. Make a plan and make your voices heard 🗳️🍁

No one should have to choose between heating their home, groceries or prescriptions. I met with advocates on Energy Poverty Day on the Hill to discuss a national strategy to lower energy bills and improve home efficiency. Affordability and climate action must go hand in hand.

With Mark Carney veering the Liberals to the right, the lane is wide open for a progressive alternative in Canadian politics. Join Avi Lewis for a discussion on how the NDP can seize this moment — and win a Canada that delivers for the many, not the money. RSVP: www.eventbrite.ca/e/ndp-leader...

Canadians want to build big things, but you can’t build those things without steel. To save the Canadian steel industry and take back control of our economy, Canada must nationalize Stelco.

The Trump-aligned CEO of an American corporation is dismantling one of Canada’s most important industries and 500 Canadian workers could lose their jobs. If we’re serious about making Canada strong, it’s time to take back control of our economy and nationalize Stelco.

6 million Canadians don't have a family doctor, yet the Liberals have refused to invest what’s needed to help close the gap. Before Health Ministers met today, MP @gordjohns.bsky.social pressed the Liberals on taking up this nation-building project so every Canadian can get the care they need.

Kyle Kawsawski, a ton of hardy volunteers and myself were out talking to folks in Sherwood Park on a VERY windy afternoon. We’re proud Albertans AND proud Canadians! I’m voting no to the nine and yes to remain and the folks I spoke to in Sherwood Park are too! 🇨🇦💪🏻

Over 130 Palestinian students remain in limbo due to processing delays—costing admissions & risking lives. I sent an open letter demanding Ministers Diab & Anandasangaree apply biometric flexibilities, review rejected files fairly, & resolve these cases.

The Liberal government is concentrating power into the hands of their cabinet ministers. With Bill C-39, they want to codify the minister’s unilateral power to end a legal strike based solely on the minister’s personal opinion.

So, Conservatives think public ownership is good when it’s gifting the highly profitable oil industry another pipeline, but not when it means saving Canadian jobs and our domestic steel industry? Interesting. Anyway. Nationalize Stelco.

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the incredible Irene Mathyssen’s passing. Irene was a force who fought relentlessly for our movement, and for a Canada that upholds the dignity of every person.

Mark Carney is flooding the zone with a bill that attacks workers, Indigenous rights and our environment. We're uniting with organizers across Canada to stop Bill C-39. RSVP today to join our mass organizing call: www.ndp.ca/stop-bill-c39

Stelco’s American owners have broken their commitments. Their CEO supports Trump’s tariffs, which are designed to deindustrialize our economy and destroy our manufacturing base. If we’re serious about saving the Canadian steel industry, Canada must nationalize Stelco. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-lea...

Happy Thanksgiving! Our movement is powered by every day Canadians who believe in a better future for our country, and we’re so thankful to be taking on this important fight with every one of you. From all of us here at the NDP, we’re wishing you and yours a happy, safe, and warm Thanksgiving. 🧡 🦃

We need projects that create the maximum number of good-paying jobs for Canadian families, not just the maximum profits for already profitable corporations.

Friends in Montreal! I can't wait to be back in the city with our NDP candidates: @pierrecere.bsky.social and Nimâ Machouf. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/57-av...

Minister Diab needs to go.

Minister Diab’s total lack of leadership and basic knowledge of Canada’s refugee framework is hurting families, exacerbating processing delays, and undermining our immigration system. Prime Minister Carney must fire Minister Diab immediately—our immigration system needs a reset.
