NDP
@ndp
Canada's New Democratic Party, led by @avilewis.ca Fighting for the many, not the money.
1/ Nearly 1000 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Entire communities have been lost, and the impacts of the climate crisis are being felt coast to coast. Canada is warming at nearly twice the global average. And after decades of Liberal inaction, Canadians are the ones paying the price.
1/ We're building a party rooted in justice, solidarity, and the belief that we can create a better future together. Our Equity Commissions play a key role in bringing together communities and leaders to shape policy, and actually strengthen representation.
1/ Congratulations to Nima Machouf and Pierre Céré who were nominated last night as our candidates in the federal ridings of Laurier–Sainte-Marie and in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie!
1/ Climate change is not some far-off threat. It is here. It is happening. And it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels that the Liberal government is pouring billions of public money into expanding. This is the crisis we cannot afford to ignore.
1/ In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, First Nations have had to go to court to fight for the right to safe drinking water.
Join us for an online orientation and organizing meeting for both new and long-standing members on Wednesday, July 22nd at 7:00pm ADT. We'll be joined by Avi Lewis, Matthew Green, and your local riding associations. RSVP here and bring a friend: ndp.ca/nova-scotia-ndp-membership-mobilization
1/ “We shouldn’t be rushing in the AI arms race. We should be rushing to put real guardrails on the technology,” Avi Lewis told the Toronto Star.
1/ Today, we celebrate Canada and the values that bring us together as a nation. Canadians are facing real challenges. From rising costs to threats from south of our border, many people are feeling fear and uncertainty about the future.
Today, we celebrate Quebec’s history, language, culture, and future. Quebec stands out for its resilience, solidarity, and cultural richness. These are the values that bring us all together and help us build a better future for everyone. On behalf of the entire NDP team: Bonne Fête nationale!
1/ Today, we honour the strength and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.
1/ The federal government has tabled a new water bill that backtracks on recognizing the human right to water for First Nations. This is shameful, and it is a slap in the face of communities who have been waiting for decades to have safe drinking water.
1/ The Liberals have finally acknowledged the dangers of surveillance pricing, after the NDP raised the alarm about corporations using personal information to charge you more. But they still won't commit to banning it.
1/ The right to strike is a cornerstone of our democracy. It's how workers have fought for — and won — the rights that many of us now enjoy: sick days, weekends, safer workplaces, and better wages.
1/ As we mark the 42nd anniversary of June 1984 and the invasion of the Golden Temple complex, we honour the victims & survivors by standing in solidarity with human rights organizations around the world calling for justice.
1/ June is a time to celebrate community, resilience, and pride—but also a time to recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for liberation for all.
1/ Happy National Indigenous History month! June is a time to celebrate the rich histories, cultures, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples across Turtle Island.
1/ On National Flight Attendants' Day, we honour the workers who keep millions of Canadians safe in the skies every single day. Flight attendants have shown us all what courage and determination look like. They took on the country’s biggest airline and defied the federal government — and won.
1/ Attacking workers’ rights won’t make Canada safer or more secure. It will only lead to more labour disruptions, more hardship for working-class Canadians during a cost-of-living crisis, and more instability across the economy.
1/ Whether it's on rail lines or at the ports, or against flight attendants or postal workers, the Liberal government has repeatedly invoked Section 107 of the Labour Code to break legal strikes.
Workers built this country. Not billionaires. Not CEOs. And any attempt by Mark Carney's Liberal government to step on workers' right to strike is a direct attack on the people who keep our country running every single day.
1/ Last night, our bill to protect the right to strike was debated in Parliament. As Prime Minister Carney quietly considers sweeping changes to Canada’s labour laws after rushed consultations, the stakes have never been higher.
The NDP is proud to be the only party that has consistently sided with workers and defended the right to strike. If you stand with workers, add your name now: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107
Labour leaders from coast to coast are backing MP Leah Gazan's Bill C-247 to scrap Section 107 and protect workers right to strike — a fundamental right that has been undermined time and time again by the Liberal government.
It's time to scrap Section 107! Help us protect the right to strike by adding your name: ndp.ca/repeal-section-107
1/ Today, Muslims across Canada and around the world come together to celebrate Eid al-Adha with families, friends, and neighbours.
1/ Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, New Democrats stand proudly with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Canada and around the world.
The NDP is the party of labour. We will always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with workers.
If this government truly wants to chart a path forward for our country, it must do so hand in hand with Canadian workers. From NDP Leader Avi Lewis's address to delegates at the Canadian Labour Congress convention.
1/ There’s nothing more Canadian than public health care, and nurses keep it running.
Only 2 days until Avi Lewis's Sasktachewan Tour kicks off! 🔗Don't miss your chance to join the action: ndp.ca/events
