Calling on Carney and Hajdu to respect workers’ constitutional right to free collective bargaining and not intervene with the process. The NDP stands in solidarity with workers for a fair comprehensive collective agreement.

Supporting Westjet workers at the picket for a fair collective agreement. Unpaid work won’s fly! Liberals invoked Section 107 of the Labour Code ten times since 2023 and took away the workers’ right to strike and undermine the collective bargaining process to tip the scales in employers’ favour.
Refugees accepted for resettlement to Canada must be able to reach safety without fear of foreign interference. I’ve written an open letter to Ministers @anitaanand.bsky.social & Lena Diab to demand urgent action on cases of transnational repression targeting refugees in Thailand. #HumanRights
Carney must stop hiding behind carefully worded statements and should take concrete action: support Judge Prost, oppose US extraterritorial sanctions against Canadians, and lead international efforts to defend the ICC. Canada's credibility—and future of international justice—depends on it. 7/
Canada should work with ICC member states to reject political intimidation, defend the Court's independence, and protect those who uphold international justice. If we won't defend the institutions we helped build, who will? 6/
The ICC exists because victims of war crimes deserve justice when national governments fail to act. Weakening the Court doesn't protect the rule of law—it protects impunity. 5/
Canada has spent decades championing international law and a rules-based international order. Those principles mean little if we only defend them when it's politically convenient or when Washington approves. 4/
When Canadian ICC Judge Kimberly Prost is sanctioned simply for doing her job, a statement of support isn't enough. Ottawa should stand with her by providing legal, diplomatic and practical assistance—and challenge these unjust sanctions. 3/
Canada helped build the International Criminal Court. Now, as the Trump administration seeks to undermine it and intimidate its judges, the Carney government is standing on the sidelines. That isn't leadership. 2/
Last Friday, the world marked International Justice Day and the 28th anniversary of the Rome Statute which established the International Criminal Court. It remains, to this day, the most effect effort to hold war criminals accountable. States Parties to the Rome Statute depend on Canada’s lead.1/
Canadians who had their citizenship recognized under Bill C-3 are being left in the dark. IRCC promised quick answers, but weeks later, families are facing revoked passports and zero communication. I’ve sent an open letter to Minister Diab calling for immediate transparency. 👇
Million-dollar contracts signed for border helicopters that can’t even legally fly in Canada—and now the RCMP says ensuring airworthiness wasn't their job? Canadians deserve real accountability and responsible use of public funds, not institutional finger-pointing. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Fed govt’s sudden reversal on “Lost Canadians” citizenship certificates raises serious questions about fairness & reliability at IRCC. Families shouldn't face agonizing uncertainty over valid documents. They deserve to know their status is secure and verified.
The Libs are using their new "Build Canada Homes" agency to buy & convert 2,200 unsold private condos in BC. Public funds should build deeply affordable, non-market social & co-op housing—not act as a safety net for corporate developers who overspeculated. 👇 www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Carney continued delay in implementing foreign influence transparency registry is leaving Canada dangerously vulnerable. 2 year since C-70 was passed, still no registry & no commissioner. Need action now to protect Canadians & safeguard democratic institutions. www.hilltimes.com/2026/06/23/c...
Critics say Liberals ‘slow walking’ foreign influence registry leaves Canada vulnerable ahead of referendum - The Hill Times
As Public Safety promises the registry is 'very close to the finish line,' Conservative critic Michael Cooper says repeated delays demonstrate ‘this is not a priority.’

Public funds must guarantee affordable homes for people, not shield private developers from market risks. Thousands of investor condos sit empty while working families, renters, and seniors are left struggling. We need to put long-term affordability ahead of developer bailouts.
Carney rammed C-22 through committee, rushing a massive expansion of state surveillance powers without proper debate. While few minor fixes were made, core threats to digital privacy and civil liberties remain unresolved. Canadians deserve better than secret orders and closed-door cabinet overreach.
As Parliament ends, Mark Carney’s majority government is fast-tracking corporate wish lists while rushing through massive law changes without proper democratic debate. Canadians deserve accountability, not backroom corporate deals. www.facebook.com/share/v/18rk...

Liberals shut down debate on Bill C-26, asking Parliament to write $1.7B blank cheque for housing w/ZERO affordability targets. We cannot solve a housing crisis driven by excessive reliance on market by pumping more public money into developers' pockets. www.jennykwanndp.ca/hansard_kwan...

Affected individuals are contemplating class-action lawsuit against IRCC over this chaotic citizenship recall. Uprooting lives of Lost Canadians who followed rules is an unacceptable failure of fairness. Min Diab must freeze this initiative immediately. www.cp24.com/news/canada/... #CdnPoli #BillC3
Minister says ‘lost Canadians’ must prove link to Canada in each generation
Immigration Minister Lena Diab says having a Canadian ancestor does not guarantee someone is eligible for Canadian citizenship.

IRCC is quietly telling people to surrender Canadian citizenship certificates they lawfully got under Bill C-3. This retroactive recall leaves families in limbo after making major life choices. It is a failure of fairness & competence. This initiate must freeze immediately with full data disclosure.
Two years since Bill C-70 passed, the federal gov't is still delaying full implementation of the Foreign Influence Transparency & Accountability Act (FITAA). This inaction leaves our democratic institutions and diaspora communities exposed. My open letter to PM Carney & Min. Anandasangaree: 👇
Hongkongers who stepped up to defend democracy were promised safety in Canada. Instead, an agonizing IRCC backlog is leaving applicants stranded in a dangerous legal limbo. Liberal government must fix the processing delays immediately and fulfill its promise. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/06/07/d...

In an affordability and climate crisis, our quality of life, water security, housing rights, and affordable home power must take priority over corporate tech giants. The Liberals must halt this reckless infrastructure push. 3/3
Proposed water-intensive AI data centres mean 24/7 noise, constant diesel generator air pollution, and massive strain on our water supply as historic droughts loom. Global lessons show Virginia found them incompatible with housing, and Ireland's data centres swallow 22% of the grid power. 2/3
The federal government’s "invest now, regulate later" AI data factory strategy is a direct threat to residential neighbourhoods like Vancouver East. Today in the House, I stood up to demand that people be put ahead of tech giants. 1/3
