Tonight Yom Kippur begins, the most sombre moment of the Jewish calendar. It’s a time of atonement - a time to grieve those who have been lost, a time to acknowledge and take responsibility for harms we have caused, individually and collectively. For Jewish people, the personal has always been political and the political always personal. This year I'm reflecting on the fact that we failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name. There are many other fronts where I have to do the work of repair. But nothing on this scale. #yomkippur #palestine

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 workers and passengers pay the price. #cdnpoli #canada #airports #NDP

1/ Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, people across Canada are gathering in remembrance and renewed determination to ensure ours is a country where every child matters. As the late Honourable Murray Sinclair reminded us, “there can be no reconciliation without truth.” But today, the bravely, painfully told truth of residential schools has become a primary target for hate movements, as we saw on the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc reserve. So it’s more important than ever for every one of us to uphold the truth, stand with residential school survivors, and continue to share their stories. And more: it’s past time for our governments to fulfill the long-unfinished 79 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.

Airport privatization would cost workers and passengers, CLC report warns | Canadian Labour Congress

OTTAWA — Privatizing Canada’s airports would put upward pressure on the cost of flying and put airport workers at risk, according to a new report from the Canadian Labour Congress, released ahead of next week’s Canada Investment Summit.

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. This government is spending billions of dollars in public money to expand the very industry that’s causing climate breakdown — at a moment when renewables are cheaper and more available than ever before. No more climate-wrecking corporate welfare. We need a government that protects the people and places we love. #canada #cdnpoli #climate #wildfires

Tonight we mourn the loss of a remarkable leader. Joan Phillip was utterly devoted to making life better — for her neighbours in Vancouver-Strathcona, for Indigenous youth, and for working people across the province. She spent a lifetime at the front of the fight for justice. Now, it is up to all of us to carry her powerful legacy forward. I’m sending strength to her partner, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, her family, and everyone whose life was richer with Joan in it. #canada #cdnpoli #bcpoli

This is the third time in six months that Benjamin Netanyahu has flown through Canadian airspace. Contrary to the GAC spokesperson’s claim, he does not have the freedom to make that decision. Foreign leaders are required to seek permission before doing so. Netanyahu is also wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. As a member of the ICC, Canada has a duty to arrest him if he enters the country. Has the government been knowingly shirking its responsibility and allowing a wanted war criminal to fly through our airspace? If he is flying through without permission, why not say so? Allowing this to pass without consequence sets a dangerous precedent. Canadians deserve a clear answer. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/netanyahu-flight-canadian-airspace-9.7288211 #canada #cdnpoli #israel

The announcement of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods is the latest economic grenade thrown over the border by an out of control President who has lost touch with reality. It is a direct attack on Canadian workers and industries, putting thousands of jobs at risk. And it will drive up costs for American consumers, who like Canadian consumers, are already feeling pain at the pumps and supermarket checkouts because of Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Donald Trump is trying a new, obscure legal basis for this latest attack. If these tariffs go ahead, we must be prepared to fight them with counter-tariffs and put every dollar behind supporting workers in affected sectors. The Carney government must refrain from more concessions. We are tired of being treated as Trump’s tariff guinea pigs. New Democrats stand with workers, communities and all Canadians in defiance of this newest threat to our economy and sovereignty. #canada #cdnpoli #trump

Sometimes you read something that tells you what you already know…but you feel as if for the first time. I read this searing piece through hot tears of rage and renewed determination.

Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda: including deadly ICE raids and endless wars of aggression. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next door neighbour. Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/canada-attends-trump-summit-targeting-left-wing-extremism/article_206567ca-63e4-45cf-8355-9616dd443713.html #canada #cdnpoli #uspol

This contract is clearly designed to enable both Trump's mass deportation campaign, and his move to use ICE to manipulate the midterm elections. But it’s also a reminder of how deeply entwined Canada's elites are with US corporate and government interests. If the Carney government is serious about Canadian economic independence, it should move to block this contract immediately, with new legislation if necessary. Collaboration between Canadian corporations and ICE should be illegal. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/21/news/thomson-reuters-ice-information-deal #canada #ICE #cdnpoli

This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding. It is true. It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true: Every tenth of a degree of global warming matters. Every fraction of temperature rise we avoid saves lives, reduces disease, food and water shortages, disasters. That means: Every wind turbine and solar panel deployed Every heat pump installed Every energy efficiency retrofit Every electric bus and vehicle Every job created from all these things… It all matters! It all counts. But so do new pipelines, the LNG boom, and the Carney government’s dismantling of Canada’s climate policy. Folks, it’s not too late. We can change course and choose a healthy, safer future. We just need the right kind of nation-building projects. (And that includes engaging First Nations first.) https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/changes-to-canadas-climate-now-irreversible-federal-report-says/ #canada #cdnpoli #environment #climateChange

Wildfires are getting more and more devastating because of global warming, which is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Trump won’t say that because he’s in the industry’s pocket. If he wants compensation for the wildfire smoke, he should go after the oil and gas giants responsible. #canada #cdnpoli #trump #wildfires

This project defies common sense - this is corporate welfare on a surreal scale, giving a gift to an industry making $90 billion in excess profits this year, and which still refuses to pay for its own infrastructure. It makes a mockery of the duty to consult First Nations, guaranteed under our constitution. You can’t approve a project and then engage in consultation: that is just a pipeline to the courts. #canada #cdnpoli #climateChange

C'est incroyablement effronté de la part du Premier ministre de se vanter des « avantages durables » de l'augmentation de la production de combustibles fossiles un jour comme aujourd'hui. Des vagues de chaleur record. Une fumée toxique qui envahit les villes et les villages. Des incendies incontrôlables qui obligent des communautés entières à évacuer. Ce gouvernement dépense des milliards de dollars d’argent public pour développer l’industrie même qui provoque le bouleversement climatique — à un moment où les énergies renouvelables sont moins chères et plus accessibles que jamais. Finis les subventions aux entreprises qui détruisent le climat. Nous avons besoin d’un gouvernement qui protège les personnes et les lieux que nous aimons. #canada #polcan #climat

Bravo Mayor Chow for taking action to protect Toronto residents from surveillance pricing. It’s time to end this predatory practice before it becomes normalized - yet another daily digital injustice. So far, the Carney government has promised vague action in the future, from a new agency that doesn’t even exist yet. Instead, we need a national ban on surveillance pricing right now. That’s what Premier Wab Kinew has done in Manitoba, what NDP premiers in waiting like Marit Stiles and Claudia Chender are fighting for, and what Mayor Chow is proposing. Your personal data should be yours alone, not a commodity for Big Tech and Big Retail to mine, sell, and use to rip you off. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-surveillance-pricing-ban-motion-9.7277965 #canada #surveillancepricing #AI #cdnpoli

In this photograph, PM Mark Carney is touring the Government Operations Centre - the nerve centre that leads the “integrated federal response to all-hazard events of a national interest.” The workforce there has been cut in half thanks to Carney’s public service cuts, from 100 to just 50 workers. In other words, to advance major projects “in the national interest” (like pipelines and military hardware), the PM has slashed the number of public sector workers who coordinate the response to emergencies “of a national interest”. As Sharon de Sousa of PSAC says, “Gutting it by almost half puts people across the country at risk, including frontline workers who are battling wildfires, supporting evacuations and risking their lives.” https://ottawacitizen.com/public-service/government-operations-centre-cuts-wildfires #canada #cdnpoli #wildfires

Across the street from Parliament Hill and in Montreal, Bank of Canada security officers have been locked out and on strike for more than two weeks. These security officers protect one of Canada’s most important public institutions every day, and they deserve fair wages, decent working conditions, and respect. Instead, they have been locked out while the Bank relies on replacement workers. New Democrats fought to ban scab labour because replacement workers undermine collective bargaining and weaken every worker’s right to negotiate for a better future. The NDP stands in solidarity with these PSAC members and all workers. The Bank must end the lockout, stop using scabs, and negotiate a fair deal now.
