Benjamin Netanyahu is an indicted war criminal. And yet, the west obediently fall into line when he carries his permanent war campaign into more and more treacherous waters. The bombing of Iran had nothing to do with nuclear threat, it was about regime change. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

MAGA domestic terrorists posing as cops and killing lawmakers, but immigrants are supposed to comply with a mouth breather in jeans and a mask who claims he’s ICE and tries to abduct them off the streets. Fuck that.

Wouldja lookit that? The two most left Premiers have the highest approval ratings. Who woulda thunk it. Almost like Tory governments are making us miserable.

Another alarming report from Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office came out this week. Doug Ford is underfunding key social programs—ODSP, OW, education, and health care. As people continue to struggle, we must lift them out of legislated poverty. That starts with doubling ODSP and OW rates NOW.

Only the NDP will protect what makes Canada, Canada—public health care, human rights, and fairness—while standing up to Trump’s trade war and corporate influence. In a race between deep cuts and more of the same, a strong team of New Democrats is the only way to defend the Canada we love.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. She is a truth teller. pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Trans Day of Visibility isn’t just about being seen, it’s about dignity, connection, and justice. In this video, trans activists share what visibility really means: protest, power, and community. Visibility without rights is not enough.

Trump’s threats to Canada’s export industries are a huge challenge. But almost 80% of what we produce is made in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians. We absolutely have the capacity to survive, and thrive, despite him. My take for Toronto Star www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

Far too many people in Kingsway are struggling to find homes they can afford. The NDP just unveiled the first step in our plan to build millions of affordable homes. We'll unlock public land to build more homes for people. Learn more and take action at: www.dondavies.org/join

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

Spring has arrived! Just saw a large gaggle of Canadian geese fly over the sunrise. They were honking so loud indicating that they are relieved to be back in a safe airspace. Not sure if they will return to the USA.

Over 200 organizations - and growing - have signed the statement by Canadian feminist organizations expressing concern at the elimination of a standalone minister for women and gender equality in Carney’s cabinet. Including one former Status of Women minister. www.criaw-icref.ca/statements/j...

Hey Ron DeSantis, Canada thinks your politics suck. We have stopped visiting and we have stopped buying. Look at the precipitous drop in orange juice sales. Lol. The boycott is strong and getting stronger.

So Canadian feminists are pretty upset about the elimination of the Minister of Women and Gender Equality. Actually upset is way too diplomatic a word. The reality is that bro culture has taken over our politics, left and right. And we are about done with it

❤️🇨🇦Hey Canada‼️ #Chapmans ice cream once again showing its #proudCanadian support for this country. They are absorbing any price changes due to #tariffs and locking in their #prices for the rest of the year!! How’s that for supporting #Canadians? Few businesses anywhere would do this!

Trump has declared economic war on Europe. To our democratic allies respond in the Canadian way - cancel trips, boycott bourbon and any American product. Let your purchases send a message to the oligarchs.

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies. We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war. A war THEY lost. We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice. J. D. can go lie on his couch. Canada is #elbowsup

Trump claims he is imposing 250% tariffs on CDN dairy. Lol. CDN dairy isn't competing in the US. We supply a domestic market. So go for it. I have fought for dairy farmers my whole career. Check out this photo of a much younger me with Jack Layton +John Vanthof defending CDN dairy from US dumping.

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump. When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards." We know which side they are on. Please share this clip. www.youtube.com/shorts/Mf44P...

1/5 As women & their allies around the world celebrate International Women’s Day. I reflect on 2 sets of women: 1. Women who make a difference globally, in their own country and in their communities. Many of these women do so even when facing criticism and danger. #IWD2025

Unbelievable! Asshat, IF Fentanyl or illegal aliens are crossing the border from Canada into the USA isn’t that a USA boarder security issue? Stop gaslighting-you started this nonsense with your lies and bullying. Back off tangerine toddler. Stop disrespecting our country & our Prime Minister.
