Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports. So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm).

Earlier this morning, I had an hour-long conversation with Prime Minister Carney, where I shared what it will take to Trump-proof our economy. We don't build an independent Canada by throwing billions of public dollars on sectors that are already disproportionately US-owned — like weapons, AI and fossil fuels. This is a look-in-the-mirror moment for Canada. Let's make our country stronger, safer and more affordable for the 99%.

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in.

Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it". I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

In a few days, Prime Minister Carney is inviting some of the world’s richest CEOs to Toronto to buy up Canada’s resources, public infrastructure, and more. We won’t save Canada by selling it off to the highest bidder. Join us, and let's build a Canada for the many, not the money.

There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it. Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while passengers and workers pay the price.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG. Industry and governments have spent years selling the lie that natural gas is a “bridge to the future.” The bridge is burning. We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.

When you’re in a war, you use your strongest weapons. And our power in this trade war comes from resources we have that the US needs — like oil, gas, potash, and other critical minerals.

Liberal and Conservative governments in Ottawa have let corporate grocers get away with ripping off Canadians for far too long. Billions in profits are made by the Big 3 Grocers every year, while too many working-class people wonder how they’ll be able to afford their next meal. When markets fail, it’s the government’s job to step in and actually provide alternatives to people. No more waiting for the market to fix itself. Canada needs a public option for grocery stores.

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of all Canadians. This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

I want to share some reflections on last night’s by-elections. While there is still lots of work to do, our strong result in Beaches—East York and the surge of grassroots organizing in all three ridings shows us one thing: the NDP is back.

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

When the system is rigged for the rich while the 99% struggle to afford the basics, public ownership is how we take back the economy.

This genocide is changing history. Longstanding narratives are being laid to rest, buried in the rubble of Gaza. ⛔️Israel guarantees Jewish safety 🙅🏻‍♂️The IDF is "the most moral army in the world" 🚫Canada is an honest broker My thoughts from a recent JewishFaculty.ca event:

Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life. Canadians are already struggling with the untenable cost of living. Now, retailers are teaming up with Big Tech to squeeze people even more. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks.

Thanks CBC Vancouver for showing a diversity of Jewish perspectives on Israel-Palestine. Reminder: Zionist organizations that claim to speak for all Jews...don't. And spraying accusations of antisemitism as indiscriminately as Israel drops bombs is not making anyone safer.
