NDP parliamentary leader @donvdavies.bsky.social says National Post column targeting NDP leader @avilewis.ca is "appalling, irresponsible and likely criminal" The column calls for Lewis to be dealt with by way of ancient "Jewish law" while invoking loaded language used by Yitzhak Rabin's assassin
The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...

It was 20 years ago that I first heard of the devastating health impacts and cancer cluster in Fort Chipewyan, home of the Mikisew Cree First Nation downstream from oil sands tailings "ponds”. 🧵 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/n...

But so do new pipelines, the LNG boom, and the Carney government’s dismantling of Canada’s climate policy. Folks, it’s not too late. We can change course and choose a healthy, safer future. We just need the right kind of nation-building projects. (And that includes engaging First Nations first.)

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session: Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.” Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health. shorturl.at/OlnQl

✊🏻 NO JETS T.O.! Federal New Democrats stand with the Ontario NDP and the people of Toronto against Doug Ford’s destructive Billy Bishop scheme. The Prime Minister has the power to shut this down once and for all. Protect Toronto’s waterfront, reject Ford’s Wall Street giveaway!
Ontario Conservatives are pushing an expansion of Billy Bishop airport against Torontonians wishes while Liberal Members of Parliament remain silent. Instead of answering why, the Minister mocked me for asking! (I am the NDP critic for Transport & the Minister knows this). @ontariondp.bsky.social

1/ Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.
The Canadian government has spent more than $44 million on a secret contract with controversial American tech company Palantir. zurl.co/QTK6g

1/ The Israeli military has detained hundreds of activists who sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade. In the face of unending genocide and impunity, they continue to challenge Israel, to keep the spotlight on ongoing genocide. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

So Mark Carney cuts public sector jobs and services while putting massive money into defence spending - that's after Trump demands Canada puts more into NATO - only for it to now blow up in Carney's face. Carney's attempts to appease Trump have failed over and over.
Canada has, in the span of a year, nearly doubled its defence spending to hit 2%/GDP; stood up a project to build America's much-needed icebreakers; and is (finally) creating its own defence industrial base. So, naturally, the U.S. is suspending a shared defence panel that's been around since 1940.

From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways. Read my latest piece in Zeteo about how big tech is powering Israel’s AI war machine 👇

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root. The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.
Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

Companies need to understand that unions are the compromise. Because right now they are creating the conditions for more people to lash out like this:
Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.” The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.
