Steel is a strategic industry that underpins our economy, our sovereignty, and our national security. It’s time for us to nationalize Stelco to protect Canadian jobs and assert control over this critical sector.

Stelco is laying off 500 Canadian steelworkers. The CEO of their US parent company, Cleveland-Cliffs, is a vocal Trump supporter who has been cheering on the tariffs. This is a MAGA attempt to deindustrialize Canada and harm our productive capacity.

BC’s Filipino Canadian community has worked for decades to build a permanent cultural centre. That goal is now closer than ever. I secured a federal funding commitment in the budget & Premier Eby has pledged $15M. The community has led. BC has stepped up. Now Ottawa must deliver.

This afternoon, Parliament will vote for the first time on Bill C-39, which fundamentally attacks the rights of workers, Indigenous rights, and environmental protections. Yesterday, I spoke about this bill and how it undermines the constitutional right to strike.

Proud to meet with ILWU Canada President Tom Doran to discuss the Liberals' attack on the constitutional right to strike. Nation-building starts with empowering the workers who literally build our nation. The NDP will stand shoulder to shoulder with workers every step of the way.

Bank of Canada security officers have been on strike for 100+ days. The Bank has been caught twice violating federal anti-scab law and even hired Pinkertons, a contractor notorious for violent strikebreaking. PM Carney says he stands with workers. Why won't he condemn this corporate lawbreaking?

I was proud to join uOttawa NDP last night for some engaging political discussions. Our campus clubs help bring new, diverse voices into the party, and I was glad to hear their ideas and perspectives. These intelligent, progressive students give me hope for the future of the NDP and Canada.

New Democrats were out in full solidarity to mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Because every child matters…

We are proposing to create three new tax brackets adding 1% each at $500k, $750k and $1 million taxable income. That increases progressive taxes, and we are the only party addressing the need to make the rich pay more.

A new PBO report confirms adding new tax brackets for the wealthiest 0.3% would raise over $1 billion a year. Instead of selling off Canada’s strategic public assets like airports, we should be asking those who have benefited most from our society to contribute their fair share.

The Liberals handed billions to Big Oil, promising this would lower gas prices. It didn't work. Canadians are now paying MORE at the pump, while oil and gas giants will rake in $90B in profits this year. The NDP says: tax windfall profits and give that money back to Canadians.

The fact Liberals expanded their ability to suppress job action by workers and to ignore environmental laws in a bill intended to attract investment is not an accident. It’s clearly Liberals caving in to the corporate sector and foreign investors’ demand.

The Liberals’ new bill allows the Minister to violate workers’ right to strike based solely on her opinion after taking into account any consideration she wants. That’s not guardrails at all - it’s pure discretion.

The right to withdraw labour is the foundation of real negotiating power for workers. By attacking that constitutional right, the Liberals are making our country weaker. New Democrats will always stand with Canadian workers.

The real nature of this government is starting to appear. The Liberals are planning to undermine collective bargaining by eliminating workers’ constitutional right to strike. Workers build this country, and they deserve fair and safe workplaces.

A strike is by definition a labour disruption. Liberals are going after the right to strike.
