It has been my pleasure to serve as the NDP candidate for London Centre. Our supporters have noted that we bought to light issues and people that other parties neglected. Our volunteers and campaign team convinced over 400 non-voters to vote for us. We gave these people hope.

Congratulations to @pfragiskatos on his victory last night. I commend the other contenders for putting their name forward. The strength of our democracy relies on your good faith contributions. Thanks to all who voted for me and my amazing campaign team, donors & volunteers. 🧵

Le président des États-Unis menace ouvertement de commettre un génocide contre 90 millions de personnes. Premier ministre Carney, s’il n'y a jamais eu un moment pour dénoncer cette guerre illégale, retirer votre soutien et exiger que les responsables de crimes de guerre rendent des comptes, c’est maintenant qu'il faut le faire.

In 2024 @UofT refused to divest from weapons companies complicit in the #GazaGenocide saying this was “taking sides”. Now, they're sponsoring CANSEC @CadsiCanada – one of North America's biggest weapons fairs – that regularly features weapons manufacturers and governments accused of human rights abuses, including involvement in the genocide in Palestine. They won’t take a stand against war crimes and genocide, but they’ll pay to be a part of the war machine. And students who protest this on campus face threats, discipline, and police. There is nothing neutral about any of it. Shame on UofT.

BREAKING: We’ve shut down all access to CANSEC, North America’s largest arms fair. This is where the weapons devastating Rafah right now are being sold. Where Israeli military reps are trying to justify their genocide. No one is getting into this arms fair here in Ottawa today.

This was allowed to happen by centrist and right-ring governments in power over the last four decades. And only political parties representing working people will do anything about it.

43 years ago, at 41,000 feet in the air, a brand new passenger plane carrying 69 people went completely silent. Both engines died at the exact same time. The massive jet had just run out of fuel mid-flight. The reason was a simple math mistake caused by a confusing transition. Canada was right in the middle of switching to the metric system. This specific plane was the very first one in the airline's fleet to use kilograms. The ground crew was still used to the old system. They calculated the fuel weight in pounds. The plane took off with less than half the fuel it needed to make the trip. What happened next should not have been survivable. The captain happened to fly small, unpowered gliders as a hobby. He had to do something no one had ever done with a commercial jet. He flew the heavy, powerless plane like a giant paper airplane toward an old abandoned military runway his co-pilot remembered. Neither of them knew the old base had been turned into a public car track. Neither of them knew there was a family racing event happening right on the asphalt that afternoon. Go-karts, cars, and kids on bicycles were directly in their path. The plane came down completely silently. There was no loud engine noise to warn the people below. The pilot forced the plane to drop out of the sky sideways just to slow it down. He came in fast. The front wheels collapsed when they hit the runway. The nose of the plane scraped across the concrete, throwing sparks everywhere until the huge jet skidded to a halt. The back end was sticking three stories up in the air. Nobody on the ground was hit. Every single one of the 69 people on board walked away. When airlines later put other pilots in simulators to try and copy the landing, every single one of them crashed. The plane was repaired and flew for another 25 years.

CUPE Ontario@CUPEOntario·
CUPE Ontario has joined CUPE National in calling on the Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hajdu to protect child care programs in the province with a clear message: Canada’s child care system is one of the most important public programs in a generation – and it’s at serious risk already. $10-a-day child care is under threat. Governments at every level have failed to invest what’s needed to recruit and retain the workforce that makes quality child care possible. As a result, several provinces are already falling short of the commitment to reach an average of $10-a-day fees by 2026. Read our letter in conjunction with our national union body, @cupenat, here: cupe.on.ca/pushing-on-on-…

A literature review is not proof that you read widely. It is proof that you think precisely. The papers you exclude reveal your judgment as much as the papers you include. The patterns you name reveal your analytical capacity. The gaps you surface reveal your readiness to contribute. Your literature review is your first argument to the academic community. Make it count.

Liberals allow the sell-off of one of Canada’s last major mining companies. Allowing foreign takeovers of critical mineral producers is not how to build “Canada Strong”. stocks.apple.com/A-QK3Vd0FTSOFi…

Israel as an illegally occupying power does not have the right to deny Canadian MPs access to the West Bank. This is a major violation of international law and Canada-Palestine diplomacy. Sanction Israel and expel the Ambassador.
Anita Anand@AnitaAnandMP

Today a private delegation of Canadians—which included Members of Parliament—was denied entry to the West Bank at an Israeli border crossing. Global Affairs is in contact with the delegation and we have expressed Canada’s objections regarding the mistreatment of these Canadians while attempting to cross.

No voter in this province has ever listed a lack of gambling, drinking and entertainment opportunities as policy priorities. We need affordable housing, access to quality healthcare provided by public providers and fully staffed, uncrowded schools that are in good repair.

Note that the only province where trades workers’ wages have kept up with inflation - made gains, in fact - is in BC via an NDP government. NDP = the only party who actually delivers for workers.

PETITION: e-6898 (Social affairs and equality) "Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled Whereas: Millions of #Canadians living with #disabilities and many seniors continue to struggle below the poverty line despite decades of public service, contributions, or hardship; The cost of housing, food, and essential needs has risen faster than provincial and federal benefits, forcing many to choose between basic necessities; Existing programs such as the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, Old Age Security, and the Guaranteed Income Supplement are not yet sufficient to guarantee dignity, stability, and freedom from poverty; and Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms affirms the right to security of the person and equal protection under the law, values that require tangible action. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to: 1. Establish a National Living Benefit ensuring that all Canadians with disabilities and seniors receive a guaranteed income above the official poverty line; 2. Protect this benefit from provincial claw-backs or deductions; and 3. Index the benefit annually to the Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) so that no person is left behind due to inflation or rising housing costs." ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P… @3mpowrApp0816

Many disabled people rely on services like DoorDash to survive. There are days we can’t cook. There are times when a service like this is the only way we eat. Food safety is not a joke. It’s life and death. I hope this woman faces criminal charges.
ABC7 Eyewitness News@ABC7

SHOCKING: A DoorDash driver could be charged with product tampering as footage emerged showing the employee spraying what’s alleged to have been an irritant substance onto a food delivery, police said. “As my wife got it and began to eat... I noticed her coughing and gasping, and she threw up,” Mark Cardin said. “Then I noticed the bag had been tampered with and had some kind of spray all over it, so I checked my footage from the doorbell camera.” In a statement, DoorDash said it had revoked the driver’s access to the platform and was cooperating with law enforcement. “We have absolutely zero tolerance for this type of appalling behavior,” the statement said.
