Today, we celebrate Philippines Independence Day. More than 1 million Filipino Canadians call Canada home, and their contributions strengthen our nation economically, culturally, politically and socially.
Happy Independence Day! Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! 🇵đź‡đź‡¨đź‡¦
Oil companies will capture $90 BILLION this year from the war on Iran. Canadians are paying for it at the pump.
New Democrats are calling it what it is: war profiteering.
It's time to tax this unearned windfall and put that money back in Canadians' pockets.
Re: Billy Bishop Airport expansion: Federal Liberals & Ford Conservatives tried to slip this by until they ran into a wall of public opposition. Both like giveaways of public resources to corporations & are willing to violate citizens’ interests & the environment to do so. NDP is stopping them!
The Liberals' AI strategy proposes massive expansion of AI with no concern for the consequences it will have on workers, youth, privacy, and our water and energy supply.
The NDP is calling for a humans-first AI strategy that protects Canadian jobs, data and natural resources.
The NDP has been advocating for a Filipino Cultural Centre in Metro Vancouver for many years. Our persistence resulted in a federal budget commitment for this much-needed community resource. The Filipino-Canadian community contributes so much to our country — they deserve a place to call home.
Mark Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority government through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.
Liberal plan says it’s full speed ahead for AI tech billionaires NOW.
Privacy and online protections for Canadians can WAIT.
This is backwards.
We need effective AI regulation and strong safeguards BEFORE we let this powerful technology run unrestricted. x.com/andiewinnipe...
Liberals are cutting healthcare to some of the most vulnerable people in our society, those forced to flee war, disaster, persecution.
Not only is that mean-spirited and unethical - it is foolish, as most will end up sicker and in emergency rooms. x.com/althiaraj/st...
The NDP forced the Liberals to pass federal anti-scab legislation. But corporate giants are exploiting a loophole to use outside managers as replacement workers. The law must stop employers from using scab labour. Today I introduced Bill C-284 to close this loophole.

The Liberals claim they’ve made a “generational investment” in housing, but the PBO says federal housing spending will DROP 56%.
They promised 500,000 homes a year—yet the PBO found there’s no plan to reach that target, and their flagship Build Canada Homes will deliver just 26,000 units by 2030.
