So now Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives want to cancel high-speed rail! Funny it was their guy, former MP Dean Del Mastro from Peterborough who pushed it in the first place Now Poilievre acts like it’s some reckless new idea And Michelle Ferreri ?‼️ who’s not even an MP anymore standing there like this is current leadership You don’t get to rewrite history just because it’s politically convenient Political amnesia is wild!

Tom Mulcair has done nothing but try and smear Avi Lewis for the last 6 months. So it was pretty wild to see him participate in several standing ovations in 2016 for the late Stephen Lewis - who was echoing the same democratic socialist perspective that his son Avi does.

I was as critical of the @NDP as any when I worked in the Harper Government, but @ThomasMulcair was so clearly ahead of his time. A New Democrat like he or Jack Layton could form Government today. The fringe has deeply co-opted the NDP away from everyday working Canadians, a cohort that the NDP once built their foundation on. Sad to see.



I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Stephen Lewis, a towering figure in Canadian public life and a giant in the New Democratic movement. His commitment to justice and human dignity shaped generations, and I have been inspired by Stephen throughout my entire political life. /1 thestar.com/politics/steph…
