Would love to hear your perspective on what failed us and where we go from here. As a long time NDP member/activist/volunteer and a current member of Canadian Council I am deeply concerned for our future.

Shame on @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social isn’t integrity and fact checking the most important and ethical part of real journalism? Don’t be like the USA under tRump. Do better

Let’s be clear. Libs are not the left. They may campaign on the left but they govern on the right. If it wasn’t for the NDP pushing the libs we wouldn’t have progressive services.

Where did I say that Poilievre would be better. We have more than two political parties in Canada. It’s frustrating that we flip flop from Cons to Libs doing the same shit over and over. Which party pushed the Libs for progressive policies and actions?

That threat/tariffs from the US will disproportionately impact women, diverse, disabled and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. We/women can’t count on on a leader that cuts the very ministries that were put in place to protect them.

Do your research. It’s not an attack it’s women organizations holding our government to account. Women shouldn’t have to fight just to be seen or heard. Carney is acting like a conservative. This will lose him votes from women.

We are a democracy, it’s NOT treason or rallying against a government. It’s holding government to account. Also, we are Canada. We have more than two political parties. If it wasn’t for the NDP we wouldn’t have the progressive policies that we have today. Carney is acting like a Conservative.

Why do people act as though Canada has only two political parties. This move by Carney says a lot even if it is only an interim cabinet. He is acting like a Conservative-it will affect him in the election-women won’t trust him.

Wow! I think you need to wake up, read the room and do your research before making those very offensive comments especially being a woman. Carney is acting like a conservative by removing these ministries. And will feel the backlash from women at the polls.

If the new libs priorities are the economic/affordability crisis that tRump is forcing on us, we know darn well that it is disproportionately effect women, especially from equity deserving community. This is a conservative type move. Shame on Carney.

We as a collective, must stand up for, speak out and do the hard work that many indigenous, black, brown, trans, queer and non binary folks have been doing for so long. They are exhausted and possibly in danger.
When one women is in danger we all are in danger.

We are living in a world that is changing and scary right now. This is the time we must come together as women to ensure ALL women are safe and protected-When I say this I am looking to white cisgendered women!

2. Women who have touched my life in so many beautiful ways. You may not even know that you have been a part of making me the women I am today, or how you have shaped my thoughts, ideas and work that I have done.
