@markgrieveson I agree. Why #Canadians are not intelligent enough to vote #NDP is beyond me. That said the LIBS are better than the #CPC because when caught being racist or sexist, they can sometimes be embarrassed into doing the right thing.

The British Columbia New Democratic Party government is currently bringing multi-plex housing legislation through the BC legislature. These changes will allow 4/6-plexes on single family lots.Get people out of tents & into homes.This is why the BC NDP government was elected -- take action to resolve the housing crisis. Other parties, especially Olsen Greens, would prefer to endlessly navel-gaze while nothing happens. Time has run out for talk. #ndp #cdnpoli #canpoli #housingcrisis #yyj @cgainor
There is no better example of the extreme double standards at play in #Ontario and in #Canada right now: Sarah Jama was censured and removed from the #NDP for supporting #Palestine, while #Conservative MPP Goldie Ghamari has said horrifically Islamophobic things (including that the call to prayer was a “safety risk”) without consequence: #Onpoli
" * #NDP, #Bloc declined invitations to join recent #Israel trip* "

This tweet from John Ivison is a great example of Canadian Media's naïveté refusing to believe that, like Americans with Trump, Poillievre ripping reporters is exactly what a large number of Canadians want to see. Especially the *imagery* of a strong, well dressed man-figure, flanked by two subordinates behind him alongside two Canadian flags, speaking forcefully back to questioning.
Doug Ford creates exactly the same scenes for himself. He's been Premier of Canada's most populous province for 5 years.
Yes, believe it or not, 30-35% of people in Canada really want --whether through unintentional conditioning or not -- to see that and it's more than enough in our voting system to lead to majority power. In order to stop Poillievre's rise, other party leaders need to either present a much more compelling vision and advertise it relentlessly or Poillievre has to do something historically bad to take himself out of the race.
As it stands now, he will be our next Prime Minister and no amount of tutting or navel gazing by media personalities will change that. It may accelerate it.

Is a National Pharmacare Program an issue worth forcing an election over?
CBC: “Under the confidence-and-supply agreement between the Liberals and the NDP — which sees New Democrats support the Liberal minority government on confidence votes in exchange for progress on NDP policy priorities — the Liberal government committed to passing pharmacare legislation by the end of 2023. Parliament is only sitting for another four weeks between now and the end of the year.
"I don't think that we are going to get to the point where we need to get on pharmacare next week, so that's going to be an ongoing negotiation. So I'm not worried about next week in terms of pharmacare," Singh said.”

Apparently, the Prime Minister of Canada & his Liberal Party have introduced legislation to prohibit replacement workers in federally-regulated workplaces during strikes or lockouts as a result of pressure from the New Democratic Party.
The NDP have conditions for their current confidence in the government. These conditions are getting some results. Do you know of any other examples of such results?

And don’t @ me that it is risking Poilievre— it is a risk I am willing to take, at least he stabs you in the front. Or, people could actually take advantage of our multi-party system, get over that Singh wears a turban, and vote #NDP.
Very disappointed to see the federal #NDP backing the climate-denying #Conservatives in attacking the carbon tax on natural gas heating.
#Canada's #CarbonTax is revenue neutral - if you've average heating needs, you break even. So cutting it on heating is a de-facto subsidy on large, inefficient homes.
Revenue neutral carbon taxes won a Nobel prize. Anybody with alternate ideas on fighting climate change: show me your Nobel prize.

Unified corporate power behind carbon fuel selling energy companies is OVER.
The #Ontario #NDP tossing Jema to the curb doesn’t change the fact that what she said literally was not antisemitic.
That word doesn’t mean whatever you want it to. It has a specific meaning.
For example: calling Israel an apartheid state, which is exactly what she did, is not antisemitic in any actual or demonstrable way.
Calling her antisemitic for making that statement is, objectively, defamation.
Suing for actual malicious defamation is, objectively, not a SLAPP suit.
🇨🇦 📣 What they did to Member of Provincial Parliament Sarah Jama today, whether you agree with her or not, should horrify everyone. She is forbidden from speaking in the legislature until she retracts her support for Palestinian liberation and and has been kicked out of her what is supposed to be a progressive party. The state of #democracy in #Ontario and #Canada for that matter, is in terrible danger.
FFS, the #NDP are fucking cowards, kicking out Jama because angry fascists were making threats, really????
To info@ontariondp.ca
I must express how disappointed I am in the #NDP right now. Sarah Jama did nothing other than call for peace, correctly label #Israel an #apartheid state, and ask that the annexation of the West Bank (which is a significant contributing factor to the current crisis) be reversed. These are all things that the NDP party should be supporting.
That the party would go so far as to expel her from caucus shows that the NDP is not the party I thought it once was.

The past forty years have seen the rise and rise of a right wing politics that started out extreme (think of #Reagan and #Thatcher's support for #Pinochet's death-squads) and only got worse.
