Today, I am proud to report that the @ndp have used our power in this Parliament to force the Liberals to include legislation to ban replacement workers. Scabs prolong strikes and lockouts and give employers little incentive to reach a fair deal. #UnionsForAll #canlab

Today in Parliament, Pierre Poilievre tried to block dental care for children.

But he failed.

You and I — we won.

Mr. Poilievre has enjoyed dental care paid by taxpayers for nearly 20 years — but he doesn't believe your children deserve the same.

It's callous and it's wrong.

The final four of the NDP caucus, staying late in the House of Commons to bring dental care coverage to kids under 12.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Peer support and access to professional counselling for pregnancy and infant loss is not universally accessible.

We need a national perinatal and mental health strategy that includes families struggling with grief.

Ok. I would like to contest this dangerous idea that Canada can make lower climate investments because it has carbon pricing

Today we celebrate #PersonsDay !

Women were first included in the legal definition of 'persons' in 1929.

I’m committed to fighting for the rights of every woman so that we receive equitable treatment from our peers and live free from gender-based discrimination here in Canada.

We're fighting back and winning!

Parliament passed our motion to:

- Launch an investigation into high food prices
- Close tax loopholes
- Force CEOs to pay what they owe

For too long, CEOs have lined their pockets w/ your money.

You and I — we're going to put an end to that.

Many individuals waiting on the Disability Benefit are living cheque to cheque.

It is vital that people with disabilities know who is considered eligible, how much they will be receiving and when this benefit will come.

For #DayoftheGirl , I’m celebrating the voice of my daughter & the voices of girls all around the world!

Young girls continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, safety & wellbeing.

We must continue to tackle inequalities & champion the rights for girls.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay .

New Democrats believe in strengthening mental health care in Canada so that the full spectrum of needs can be met through a community-based network of accessible, affordable and quality services and supports.

On this Thanksgiving holiday, the NDP is taking stock of record high inflation rates.

Supermarkets continue to rake in enormous profits, yet many individuals & families are struggling to afford groceries.

We’re fighting for the relief protections that Canadians need!

Today’s #SundaySuperheroes feature is VICCIR.

Since 2015, they’ve provided low to no-cost mental health counselling to support immigrants & refugees of all ages, genders & immigration status.

Oil & gas companies are making more money than ever. It’s unacceptable that they’re begging for more corporate handouts.

Under the Liberal’s flawed system, Canada’s biggest polluters are receiving billions while continuing to pay the lowest carbon tax rates.

As the cost of groceries continues to rise, Canadians are demanding accountability on why they have to make tough choices about what they can and cannot afford, while rich CEOs and grocery giants are making billions of dollars in profit.

Beyond outrageous.

$54 million on app that tech leaders say could have been built for less than $250k.

$54 million for an app that’s now been scrapped.

Where did the $54 million money go? And most importantly who profited from it?

This is already Canada’s second-highest year for subsidies - $15.4 billion. 🤯
