Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades. It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress. Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends. We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble. And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable! It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos. We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.

This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years. People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

When people can’t afford the necessities of a dignified life, it's the government's job to step up and actually govern.

Il est temps de construire des logements abordables, un réseau national d'épiceries publiques, des autobus électriques et un réseau d'énergie propre est-ouest. Pas d'immenses centres de données d'IA construits par des entreprises sans aucun débat démocratique. De plus, il n'y a pas de véritable souveraineté des données dans un écosystème d'IA dominé par les géants technologiques américains. Telus a beau être une entreprise canadienne, elle a déjà transféré 14 pétaoctets de données canadiennes sur Google Cloud dans le cadre de sa stratégie d'IA. Cette technologie entraînera des changements radicaux à une échelle et à une vitesse sans précédent. Les Canadiennes et Canadiens méritent un véritable contrôle et un cadre réglementaire solide avant d'aller de l'avant. C'est pourquoi nous demandons un moratoire immédiat sur la construction de tout nouveau centre de données d'IA jusqu'à ce que des garde-fous fédéraux solides soient en place. Nous ne pouvons pas rester les bras croisés et laisser les milliardaires des grandes entreprises technologiques décider de notre avenir. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/22533…

Zionists believe they’re above Canadian law. A Liberal MP recently stood before Parliament to demand his government intercede to ignore the rules. In response to a sixty-page report submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency calling for an investigation into 11 school charities assisting the Israeli military in probable violation of charity rules, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather called for Parliament to denounce a “deeply troubling complaint filed with the Canada Revenue Agency and targeting 11 Jewish schools in Montreal and Toronto.” He added, “The CRA must be unequivocal that it will not allow tax laws to be weaponized against any group.” In this case “weaponizing” CRA rules seems to be a euphemism for applying them. The Just Peace Advocates led report asks the CRA to investigate whether the 11 state subsidized groups are violating rules stating that “supporting the armed forces of another country is not” charitable activity. Additionally, the report co-sponsored by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute mentions the Foreign Enlistment Act, which criminalizes “inducing” Canadians to join another country’s armed forces. Picking up from the Liberal MP’s push to protect law breakers, Mark Goldberg explicitly demanded the revenue minister intercede to demand the CRA ignore its rules. The self-declared “Zionist” posted, “MP for Mount Royal Anthony Housefather makes a statement in Commons seeking Canada Revenue Agency being unequivocal in not allowing tax laws to be weaponized against Canadian Jewish Institutions. Will Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois Philippe Champagne provide that assurance?” By law the CRA operates independently of the government and is mandated to enforce the Income Tax Act. As such, a minister directing the CRA to ignore schools violating charity rules would be illegal. But that didn’t stop Israel’s consul in Toronto, Idit Shamir, from posting Housefather’s clip with the statement, “A sitting MP had to stand up in Canada’s own legislature and formally call on a government agency not to be weaponized against Jewish people.” Is the Israeli government so shameless about its power in Canada that it sees nothing wrong with demanding the CRA ignore its rules because the charities are Jewish? In response Rabbi David Mivasair noted, “If Jewish schools in Canada weren’t violating Canadian law and tax regulations, you’d have nothing to worry about. You’d be writing, ‘Let them investigate. We’re cool.’ When the Consul General of Israel intervenes in an internal Canadian tax matter, it raises more questions than it settles.” It’s remarkable to see a foreign government, working with a MP and domestic lobby, demand Ottawa ignore its laws. Even if Zionists have normalized this type of behaviour, it’s scandalous. Forcing Ottawa to rigorously apply existing domestic laws regarding registered charities as well as the arms provisions under the Export Import Act and to prosecute those violating the Foreign Enlistment Act and War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act, would mark a major step towards justice. And that’s what Zionists are trying to prevent. How many does Israel have to kill before we finally apply existing Canadian law towards initiatives assisting the lawless supremacist state?

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

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.

Why are Canadian media reporting on Canada Post as if they've all been given a script to follow? Journalists are interfering with the union's contract rat vote by parroting Canada Post management's talking points and telling Canadians that it isn't viable noraloreto.substack.com/p/dismantling-…

Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump. Those concessions got us nowhere. Prime Minister Carney, now is not the time to concede further ground. Canada must show resolve in the face of Trump's bullying and stand up for workers, jobs, and Canadian industries. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

There's a reason why we are getting "what consumers can do" stories and not "what the government can do" -- to take the focus off the massive profits that corporations are making off this moment.

The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza.

Loblaws made $5 billion extra profit colluding on bread prices and then paid a $500 million fine to settle a class action suit. That's 90% gross profit in criminal grocering. Why would they ever stop until someone goes to jail?

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root. The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

Grocery giants just can’t help themselves. Underweight meat. Overweight profits. Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off. A public option for groceries is overdue. cbc.ca/news/business/…

Corporations have found a creepy new way to rip you off. It's called "surveillance pricing" and it's coming for all of us at the checkout if we don't stop it. Add your name and help stop retailers from price-gouging us with the help of Big Tech: ndp.ca/surveillance-p…

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.

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date. Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering. Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation. Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough. Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel. US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it. cbc.ca/news/world/isr…

Surreal to reflect on one genocide while refusing to directly condemn the threat of another, and while refusing to close loopholes that make Canadian companies complicit in arming yet another.

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Our ally is threatening genocide. At Davos, our Prime Minister promised principled consistency. Where’s Canada’s condemnation?

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Whether this is raving lunacy, deliberate hyperbole, depraved strategy or unabashed criminality, this is beyond war crimes and crimes against humanity. It is, essentially, a threat to commit genocide.
