I will no longer be posting on this platform which has become increasingly toxic & is owned by a member of President Trump’s inner circle. The US decision to unleash economic warfare on its closest ally will hurt people on both sides of the border. Please follow me on Bluesky.

Water temperatures around Australia's Great Barrier Reef are the warmest they've been in over 400 years, according to new research. Scientists say the reef is facing "catastrophic damage." No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

If you still believe the tariffs implemented on Canada 🇨🇦 are because of fentanyl crossing the border then you are delusional.

Stop sending it to them. Enjoy growing dirt, Donald.

Here's a message to Canadian workers: I will always have your back. Canada has the best workers in the world. And New Democrats will do everything we can to ensure you are protected from Trump's tariffs. Together, we will put Canada and Canadian workers first.

On Search & Rescue Volunteer Memorial Day, we honour the dedication of BC’s search & rescue volunteers. These heroes risk their lives to save others. Today, we recognize their selfless service and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. @BCSARAssoc @RCM_SAR @pepair_rescue

"What started out as a small gathering of young change-makers is gaining momentum. 100 Kids for Change, a youth-run philanthropy organization launched early last year donates money to local #Oceanside area registered charities four times annually." nanaimonewsnow.com/2025/03/02/our…

⚠️ For civilians caught in conflict, aid is a critical lifeline they rely on for survival. Warring parties must allow and facilitate safe, rapid and unhindered passage of humanitarian workers and assets to ensure vital supplies and services reach people in need. #ActForHumanity

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible. Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less. @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and @elonmusk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

In his speech John Rustad attacked Elections BC, promised to fire Dr. Henry and said he would bring down the government as soon as possible Almost no mention of the tariff crisis and no condemnation of Trump - didn’t even say his name #priorities #bcpoli

Canada is short 22,823 family physicians. That is a jaw dropping number. There is no one single strategy that will fix this. Yes, we need more doctors, but expanding team-based care will also play a key part in meeting our country’s health system needs. cbc.ca/news/canada/th…

In Canada, care is a right, not a privilege—and your health should never be for sale. While Pierre Poilievre secretly meets with a for-private hospital owners and CEOs as they lavish him with donations — we're fighting to protect healthcare: ndp.ca/stop-privatiza…

There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so. By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others. Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

There are politicans who pretend to care about workers - but they’re really just tools for the billionaire class. In Canada, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have found an ally in Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre will cut-and-gut at universal health care - while giving tax breaks to the ultra-rich. I will stop these for-profit schemes, strengthen our health care system, and ensure every Canadian has access to health care at no cost. Because, to be Canadian, means to have each others backs. That’s who we are.

Wrong, Elon. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 86 years. We can make it solvent for the next 75 years and expand benefits by scrapping the cap that allows billionaires like you to pay the same amount into Social Security as a truck driver.

Pierre Pollievre: "I am not MAGA" Okay. I want to believe you. But let's look at some of the members of your party who are in leadership positions.... Thread [1/5]
