Harper's privatization of public assets & infrastructure cost Canadians billions. Now the nothing-to-see-here Carney Liberals are "exploring" privatizing airports & looking the other way as Doug Ford does the same to Billy Bishop Airport. Public assets belong to the public! @ontariondp.bsky.social

Today is the 42nd Anniversary of the Canada Health Act, the perfect time for the Liberals to enforce the act and protect public healthcare. But will they?

Mourning without action is not enough. The greatest tribute to the fallen is to make sure that the living are protected. #NationalDayofMourning
Today is the 42nd Anniversary of the Canada Health Act, the perfect time for the Liberals to enforce the act and protect public healthcare. But will they?
We need electoral reform. When the current system distorts results, it shuts people out. It reduces accountability, discourages working together to help Canadians, and rewards division. Proportional representation would fix all that.
We asked New Democrats to describe Heather in one word: Tenacious. Principled. Reformer. Fierce. Fighter. But one word keeps coming up again and again: Builder.
@uswmetallos.bsky.social are raising the alarm about the government's Build Canada plan. Will the government listen and implement the comprehensive steel industrial strategy put forward by the workers?
We did it. You did it. Merci beaucoup. Thank you. Thank you for showing up, believing, and building this together. If you can, please support other candidates still wrapping up their campaigns. Lots of work ahead. Let’s keep going together. 🧡
Will the government enforce the Canada Health Act/stop Danielle Smith from privatizing healthcare in Alberta? The answer is apparently NO! Public healthcare is threatened across Canada. If Smith gets her way, other Conservative Premiers will follow. @cdnhealthcoalition.bsky.social
I am alarmed that this government is reducing the CPP contribution rate. This is another $$ gift to business and means less money invested for retirees' benefits. 1/3
Today in the House, the Conservatives took up the cause of the US web giants and Donald Trump with their motion to stop CRTC fees to support Canadian media and artists. I disagree. New Democrats believe in making the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations pay their fair share. @thecmpa.bsky.social
This government made a lot of promises to Canadians. Yesterday, we learned that many of those were empty promises. The spring economic statement included billions for big business and almost nothing for Canadians struggling to pay the bills.
Sen. Alsobrooks: ..."[Donald Trump] does not give a rat's ass about the American people or the rising costs. Over the last year, the president and this administration have engaged in a tremendous smash-and-grab — enriching themselves, enriching his family, enriching his allies." @thebulwark.com
Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget. It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

The #USMNT lineup choice vs Belgium was...interesting to say the least. Does Tim Weah actually provide value as a true RB? Or Max Arfsten as a true LB in a back 4? We discuss that and more on this week's episode! Video: youtu.be/Dda47Z9WQlQ Audio: linktr.ee/thedppod

Donald Trump doesn't even believe his own lies about mail-in voting. But that isn't stopping him from pushing legislation like the "SAVE America Act" to make it harder for you to vote and hold him accountable.

Een man redde een cobra door hem water te geven. Toen de cobra weer hersteld was, viel het de man meteen aan. Zo gaat het ook met mensen uit Afrikaanse en islamitische landen; je geeft ze alles en krijgt daar een hoop geweld en stank voor terug. Het blijven wilde beesten! #Fix
Everybody is arguing about the face on the bill. Meanwhile people are trying to figure out how to pay the bills. Wrong conversation. The question isn't who's on the currency. The question is what the currency can actually buy. I've been talking about backup plans, community, skills, and preparation

Before they can be taught how to shoot, they need to be taught how to safely handle a firearm. A little correction is all that is needed to ensure that the muzzle exactly where we need it to be. Well done. We love SAFETY and it shows!! . #kidssafefoundation #gunsafety #rangeday
