In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, First Nations have had to go to court to fight for the right to safe drinking water. Instead of simply guaranteeing this basic right, the Liberals would rather shovel public money into fighting First Nations in court — while tabling new legislation that fails to uphold the human right to clean drinking water. This is shameful. It’s well past time to guarantee the human right to safe, clean drinking water for every community, once and for all.

Calling all Nova Scotia NDP members! Join us for an online orientation and organizing meeting for both new and long-standing members on Wednesday, July 22nd at 7:00pm ADT. We'll be joined by Avi Lewis, Leader of Canada's NDP, Matthew Green, Interim National Director, and your local riding associations. RSVP here and bring a friend: ndp.ca/nova-scotia-nd…

“We shouldn’t be rushing in the AI arms race. We should be rushing to put real guardrails on the technology,” Avi Lewis told the Toronto Star. The Carney government has gone all in on AI, cozying up to Big Tech without putting in place the protections we need for our jobs, privacy, or water and energy resources. New Democrats are calling for a humans-first AI strategy — including a pause on new AI data centres until our regulatory framework catches up to this world-changing technology.

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity. Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability. New Democrats say: stop the war.

Today is an important day for justice, accountability and safety for Sikh communities that have been targeted by these criminal gangs for far too long. My thoughts are with all those who have been threatened and terrorized by this extremist violence – including the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil by suspected agents of a foreign government, as well as attempts on the life of my predecessor, Jagmeet Singh. No one should ever have to live in fear. The NDP stands in solidarity with Sikh Canadians and everyone who has been victimized by organized crime. cbc.ca/news/world/liv…

The federal government’s proposed “Defence, Security and Resilience Bank” sounds technocratic and reassuring. It’s not. This is an international war bank that: - Doubles down on militarizing our economy - Sidesteps transparency and public scrutiny - Requires massive cuts to the public services that actually keep us safe Canada needs a modern and well-equipped military. But we do not need a war bank that will further enrich weapons contractors, especially American ones, that profit from death, destruction, and global instability.

Across the street from Parliament Hill and in Montreal, @bankofcanada security officers have been locked out and on strike for more than two weeks. These security officers protect one of Canada’s most important public institutions every day, and they deserve fair wages, decent working conditions, and respect. Instead, they have been locked out while the Bank relies on replacement workers. New Democrats fought to ban scab labour because replacement workers undermine collective bargaining and weaken every worker’s right to negotiate for a better future. The NDP stands in solidarity with these @psac_afpc members and all workers. The Bank must end the lockout, stop using scabs, and negotiate a fair deal now. You can support these workers by writing to the Bank of Canada Board now! actionnetwork.org/letters/2026-0…

Yesterday's pipeline announcement is yet another reminder that Prime Minister Carney cares more about lining the pockets of his corporate friends than upholding the Constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples and protecting the public from the escalating climate emergency. It’s time for us to stand up and tell the Liberal government we’ve had enough! I would like to remind the Prime Minister that the government’s current approach does not satisfy the “prior” requirement of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. International standards are clear that Indigenous peoples must be meaningfully consulted before major decisions, approvals, or designations are made. When the federal government unilaterally determines that a project is in the “national interest” and only then initiates consultation, a foundational decision has already been imposed. Consultation after the fact cannot be considered prior consent. We need to follow the countries leading the energy transition and build for industries of the future. That’s why I, with the support of the NDP leader @avilewis, have sponsored @350Canada's petition calling on the federal government to stop pushing environmentally catastrophic new fossil fuel projects, to protect the health of all those impacted by the climate emergency, and to invest in a green energy transition led by workers, communities and Indigenous peoples.

Today’s announcement shows what this federal government will protect above all else: the profits of Big Oil. As we mark the five-year anniversary of a heat dome that killed 619 people in British Columbia – and as many communities across the country are facing extreme weather right now – Canadians deserve leadership that protects us. Instead, this government is doubling down on yesterday’s failed solutions and dragging us into further danger, risk and insecurity. The opaque and confusing public-private partnership ownership structure means it's very likely that we, the public, will not only bear the risks and the damages, but also the lion's share of the costs. Canada’s New Democrats unequivocally oppose this pipeline proposal. If anything, this is a pipeline to the courts. It ignores the federal government’s legal responsibility to meaningfully consult Indigenous nations, including Treaty 8 nations in Alberta, threatens endangered species, and accelerates climate change. It will sow the very divisions the Prime Minister claims he wants to avoid. We do not achieve unity or prosperity from projects that pit communities against one another, all while a handful of oil and gas CEOs walk away with enormous profits. While we're stuck fighting yesterday's battles over pipelines, and the Prime Minister openly admits that our emissions will rise, the rest of the world is racing ahead on renewables. We cannot afford to fall behind while other countries build the industries of the future. Canadians deserve better than being told our only choice is another fight over another pipeline. This country needs an alternative to the Liberal-Conservative consensus that is doubling down on a future of climate-wrecking corporate welfare. New Democrats are ready to build something bigger, safer, and better – a Canada that is a renewable energy superpower, with an east-west clean electricity grid and good green jobs in every region. Lower costs for families with home retrofits and heat pumps for all. Investing in the care economy as a nation-building project. That’s what it looks like to build big things that actually unite this country.

Today, we celebrate Canada and the values that bring us together as a nation. Canadians are facing real challenges. From rising costs to threats from south of our border, many people are feeling fear and uncertainty about the future. But Canadians also believe in looking out for one another. We’ve always believed in universal public health care, stronger public services, good jobs, and standing on the side of peace and human rights. Our values of community, fairness, and social solidarity have shaped a country that strives to leave no one behind. Canada Day is also a time to reflect on the work still needed to build a more just and inclusive society — and on our shared responsibility to advance truth, justice, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Let's celebrate the values that makes Canada worth fighting for—and recommit to building an even better future together. Happy Canada Day! 🍁

This is completely out of line. Minister Miller says, "It isn't up to me to speak to, or insert myself in, the curation of any particular exhibit.” And then he does exactly that. His comments are a direct attack on the independence of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights – exactly what the Museums Act is meant to prevent. The story of the Nakba needs to be told. It’s a hard history to confront: Israel’s independence was achieved with massacres, ethnic cleansing, and the forcible displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians. And it’s a story that’s not over: all of those assaults on human dignity and fundamental human rights continue to this day. This is the very purpose of museums like the CMHR: to shine a light into the corners of history and connect historical events to the present. Public education informed by the principles of justice and human rights. The “error that needs to be rectified” is not the exhibit, it’s the Heritage Minister’s unacceptable political interference. He should retract his comments, apologize, and leave curating to the curators. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

They’re going to call you a socialist regardless. So be a socialist.

Allowing government to determine projects of national interest before consulting Indigenous nations is inconsistent with both the spirit and intent of Canada's United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.  Indigenous peoples must be equal partners in decisions affecting their lands, waters, and territories. cfnrfm.ca/2026/06/25/ndp…

The NDP’s Indigenous Affairs critic, Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre) is demanding the federal government stop identifying major projects before consulting Indigenous peoples, which she says is a violation of the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent and undermines Canada’s commitments under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons l’histoire, la langue, la culture et l’avenir du Québec. Le Québec se distingue par sa résilience, sa solidarité et sa richesse culturelle. Ce sont ces valeurs qui nous rassemblent et qui nous permettent de construire un avenir meilleur pour toutes et tous. De la part de toute l’équipe du NPD, nous vous souhaitons une excellente fête nationale du Québec! // Today, we celebrate Quebec’s history, language, culture, and future. Quebec stands out for its resilience, solidarity, and cultural richness. These are the values that bring us all together and help us build a better future for everyone. On behalf of the entire NDP team: Bonne Fête nationale!

I join Montrealers in their shock and grief today as they mourn the tragic shooting in Côte-des-Neiges, a vibrant neighbourhood now shaken by senseless violence. As we wait to learn more about the motives behind the attack, my thoughts are with the families, friends and loved ones of Michael Moshe Mizrahi and SPVM officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and with everyone still reeling from this profound loss.

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session: Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.” Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health. Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed. Another gift to powerful corporations at the expense of Canadians. Legislation by lobbyists. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Today, we honour the strength and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island. For millennia, Indigenous nations have cared for these lands and carried wisdom and knowledge that continues to guide us all today. Indigenous stories and traditions remind us of the importance of resilience, responsibility, and caring for each other and the world around us. New Democrats will always stand alongside Indigenous Peoples in the fight to protect land, waters and Indigenous self-determination in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. We call on all levels of government to immediately uphold the Treaties, fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, and act on the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Calls for Justice. Indigenous rights are not optional. They are law.
