Parliament is back in session tomorrow and we're bringing the voice of the people to the halls of power. At our caucus meeting earlier this month, we met with community organizers to hear about the work they're doing on the front lines of one of Canada's most expensive cities — from unions to food banks and housing organizers and many more. While workers struggle to make ends meet, the Liberals have made it clear they're going to use this fall's session to attack the right to strike, push through privatization and more. At this critical moment for our country, Avi Lewis and your NDP MPs are keeping up the fight for bold solutions to make life better for the many, not the money.

Aujourd'hui, @HMcPhersonNDP a rendu hommage à la Chambre des communes. Irene était une femme remarquable qui s'est battue pour améliorer la vie de toute la population canadienne. Honorons sa mémoire en poursuivant son héritage.

Today, @HMcPhersonNDP 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.

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?

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves. And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in. pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/…

BC, advance voting ends everywhere at 8pm PT today. Don't delay! This is a pivotal election for our province. As a British Columbian, I’m deeply concerned about what a BC Conservative government would do to our province, particularly the most vulnerable folks in our communities. I’ll be doing my part to defeat the Conservatives and elect a progressive government by voting for my NDP candidate Lara Honrado on Saturday.

D’après ce que me disent des ami·es d’Alberta, cette journée est en réalité assez difficile à vivre pour beaucoup. Pas le vote en faveur de demeurer au Canada, qui a été un soulagement, mais les neuf autres questions. Il apparaît de plus en plus clairement que le sentiment d’unité suggéré par le résultat du référendum est sapé par le soutien majoritaire apporté à des questions qui mettent en avant des politiques faisant des migrant·es des boucs émissaires. Mais aucune attaque de Danielle Smith contre les plus vulnérables ne permettra de résoudre les crises que connaissent l’Alberta dans les domaines de la santé, de l’éducation publique ou du coût de la vie. Ce sont là les conséquences d’années de sous-financement, et non celles des nouveaux et nouvelles arrivé·es qui tentent de se construire une vie dans cette belle province. Les Albertains et Albertaines méritent de vraies solutions aux crises auxquelles ils et elles sont confrontés·es, et non pas une recherche de boucs émissaires qui nous divise et alimente les préjugés. Aujourd’hui, tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes ont l’occasion de rejeter cette attitude et de dire : nous sommes solidaires des migrant·es qui subissent de plein fouet cette politique cynique et négative. Un Canada uni doit signifier bien plus que le simple rejet de la séparation. Cela doit signifier se battre concrètement pour nous tous — en construisant un mouvement qui transcende nos différences afin de faire de ce pays un lieu où chacun peut mener une vie empreinte de dignité, d’égalité et d’appartenance.

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. It’s becoming clear that the feeling of unity suggested by the referendum result is undercut by majority support for questions which feature policies that scapegoat migrants. But no amount of punching down by Danielle Smith will fix Alberta’s health care, public education or cost-of-living crises. These are the consequences of years of underfunding, not of newcomers trying to build a life in that beautiful province. Albertans deserve real solutions to the crises they face, not scapegoating that divides us and fuels prejudice. Right now, all Canadians have an opportunity to reject this and say: we stand with migrants facing the brunt of this cynical, negative politics. A united Canada must mean more than just rejecting separation. It must mean actually standing up for all of us — building a movement across our differences to make this a country where everyone can live a life of dignity, equality and belonging.

Tommy Douglas savait déjà à l'époque ce que les néo-démocrates savent encore aujourd'hui, Si nous avons été capables de mobiliser les ressources de ce pays pour vaincre la tyrannie nazie, il n'y a aucune raison de ne pas faire la même chose pour s'assurer que chaque personne ait ce dont elle a besoin pour vivre dignement. Bon anniversaire, Tommy.

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.

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company. Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now.

Ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer aujourd'hui! La gestion de l'offre est essentielle pour les agriculteurs·trices Canadiens et Canadiennes qui nourrissent notre pays. Les néo-démocrates s'engagent fermement à ce qu'elle demeure protégée.

At a time when our country is under threat, it’s heartening to see well over a million Albertans come together to reject separation and choose Canada. This result was something that many people worked exceptionally hard for, and I am grateful for their efforts. I want to give special recognition to MP Heather McPherson for everything she did to help achieve this victory. She also raised the alarm about the disturbing foreign interference that went on in the referendum process. We need clear answers about efforts by MAGA-aligned operatives to influence the outcome of this vote. The integrity of our democratic processes should not be up for debate.
