Protecting Canadian workers without granting further unilateral concessions is essential. And the Keystone XL pipeline is a concession that makes no sense whatsoever – for our economy, our sovereignty, or the climate.

It is in big oil’s interest, for sure. But it doesn’t do a damn thing for people struggling with the cost of food and housing, increased costs from privatized health care, and of course the daily anxiety of climate breakdown.

For Canadians across this land, it is a kick in the teeth to call this climate bomb of a project ‘in the national interest.’

It doesn’t do a damn thing for people struggling with the cost of food and housing, increased costs from privatized healthcare, and of course the daily anxiety of climate breakdown.

This project defies common sense.

The designation process makes a mockery of the duty to consult First Nations.

I am now being paid a salary by the party that is in line with what previous leaders have had in times of financial hardship and with a small caucus.

We’re starting to see some buyer’s remorse for the Carney agenda, not just among New Democrats who voted Liberal last time, but among long-term Liberals who are in a state of real surprise at how far the prime minister has gone in the…

If we’re taking from both sides, the strategic voting argument just doesn’t work the same way.

If we can excite young people to actually go out and vote, which they don’t do in the same numbers that other demographics do, there could be a big surprise coming … either in these byelections or in the next election.

There are lots of progressive Liberals who are ready to come over and I think that we have the potential to flip some seats in the next election in places that may surprise people.

I think there will be a point in the next year where I feel we’re election-ready across the country. We want to run serious campaigns everywhere.

The federal government using AI to actually track down tax evaders and tax shelters.

We’re shedding 40,000 public workers and we’re going to replace their functions with AI, which the remaining workers will be required to use.

I think that what I know of European responses to AI is that, for instance, the government of France, they’re more protective or defensive measures.

It’s not really showing up in the polling yet, but I do believe there are early signs of buyer’s remorse for Mr. Carney because of things that he has done and not done.

There are cracks beginning to appear.

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,'

It is a direct attack on Canadian workers and industries, putting thousands of jobs at risk.

The savings of hardworking Canadians should not be used to make us complicit in these terrifying, authoritarian activities of the Trump regime.

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 latest economic grenade thrown over the border by an out of control President who has lost touch with reality

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.

Across North America, governments and communities — from across the political spectrum — are beginning to recognize that we cannot rush into an unregulated experiment with AI without first putting the right guardrails in place to protect…

It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.
