Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous

It goes way beyond the partisan divide, it goes way beyond these bulls — t wedge issues that they’ve been dividing us with.

It is already moving faster and going way deeper than anyone can control.

This is a job-killer technology to end all job-killing technologies.

We shouldn’t be rushing in the AI arms race. We should be rushing to put real guardrails on the technology.

We do not achieve unity or prosperity from projects that pit communities against one another, all while a handful of oil and gas CEOs walk away with enormous profits.

As we mark the five-year anniversary of a heat dome that killed 619 people in British Columbia—and as many communities across the country are facing extreme weather right now—Canadians deserve leadership that protects us.

This government is doubling down on yesterday's failed solutions and dragging us into further danger, risk, and insecurity.

Canadians deserve leadership that protects us. Instead, this government is doubling down on yesterday's failed solutions and dragging us into further danger, risk, and insecurity.

New Democrats are ready to build something bigger, safer, and better—a Canada that is a renewable energy superpower, with an east-west clean electricity grid and good green jobs in every region.

Canadians deserve better than being told our only choice is another fight over another pipeline. This country needs an alternative to the Liberal-Conservative consensus that is doubling down on a future of climate-wrecking corporate…

This country needs an alternative to the Liberal-Conservative consensus that is doubling down on a future of climate-wrecking corporate welfare.

When I proposed the federal government ban that 'creepy' practice, there was general silence and indifference.

This is how it works when you have a majority government that thinks it can act with impunity.

It is an attempt to muddy the waters and distract from the real issue — big corporations and big tech companies using your own personal data to rip you off.

Minister Solomon’s comments about reward points are a red herring and they echo misleading talking points used by major retailers who are lobbying to stop a ban on surveillance pricing.

The bill doesn’t ban this disturbing practice — in fact, it doesn’t even mention it by name.

We’ve put this issue on the table, and we’ll keep building public pressure on the government to act decisively: today’s bill does nothing definitive to protect Canadians from this very real threat,

That is not what the anti-scab legislation was intended to allow.

Canada cannot allow an age-verification process to become yet another massive data grab for Big Tech.

We need to protect workers. We need incredibly strong guardrails and regulation in place, and the vast majority of Canadians agree that AI needs to be regulated.

It sounds either naive or disingenuous to suggest that surveillance pricing isn’t already happening in Canada.

It proposes a massive boost to business adoption of AI, with no concern for the consequences this will have for workers, especially young workers who are already watching careers vanish before their eyes.

Workers fought for generations to build strong, independent unions. Those gains shouldn’t be taken for granted. Protecting union independence means protecting workers’ ability to stand together and fight for better wages, safer workplaces…
