“We cannot let that happen. You don’t save Canada by allowing American investors to dismantle steel production in this country piece by piece,” said Lewis.

Carney’s token announcements don’t measure up to the billions of dollars in public funding and corporate incentives that could go toward a proposed oil pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast.

This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards. The industry itself is unwilling to finance this project. Indigenous nations have expressed opposition. And the environmental and climate…

It is an offence to Canadian science, public health, collective safety and common sense. And it is a gift to an oil industry already on track to make $100 billion in wartime profits this year alone.

Throwing billions in public money behind a pipeline at a time of climate breakdown — while sweeping aside environmental protections, meaningful Indigenous consultation and workers’ right to strike – is absolutely not in the national…

Indigenous nations have expressed opposition. And the environmental and climate consequences are extreme, including the threat to endangered Southern Resident orcas.

I did not blame Jews for the actions of the Israeli government, that’s simply untrue.

I think it’s pretty ugly to see this occasion being used to score partisan points. I won’t be doing that. It was a personal reflection that I know is shared by many people.

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.

“We’re under economic attack from the United States and we need a crisis response. But Prime Minister Carney is using our fear and disorientation around the trade war to push through a series of unpopular measures that he did not run on…

Mark Carney is basically asking us all to trust him that we're going to double down on the most profitable corporations and sectors to build even more corporate profits.

We can't save Canada by selling it off," he said.

I spoke as a Jewish Canadian from a place of profound sadness.… Many Jews have said that we have not done enough as Jewish people, among a family of faiths and communities around the world.

Holding Jews collectively responsible for the actions of the state of Israel is antisemitic. I've never done it. I think it's dangerous and that's absolutely not what I did.

It's terrifying. Obviously, I can picture what it's like to be in synagogue and to have shots ring out in an environment so familiar to me. It's a super scary thing. It's horrible thing.

The NDP stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Canada's labour movement.

Our rebuild as a party is well underway. Lots of work still to do. But the early signs are really encouraging.

The big headline for me is we are back.

People are getting gouged at the pumps, but another costly handout of public money to oil and gas companies is no solution.

Instead of more corporate welfare, it’s time for a windfall tax on the big oil giants that are set to make $100 billion in profits this year because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

We’ve proved that the sting of last election was a one-time injury,’

What struck me was the sense that there is a possibility that we simply won't have a deal under the Trump administration.

We are dealing with a ruthless party across the table and New Democrats want to see the government step up and represent the power that we have as Canada.

The Prime Minister was right to walk away from the negotiating table last night. I believe Canadians are united in this crucial moment, on this crucial point: no deal is better than a bad deal.
