Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports. So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm).

A huge congratulations to @oliviachow and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight. This win goes beyond any one person or campaign — it’s the result of years of movements organizing together, from tenant unions to climate activists, migrant rights advocates and those on the front lines of harm reduction. You mobilized and knocked on every last door to make this happen. Tonight, you’ve secured a better future for Toronto together.

Today broke grey and raw for New Democrats here in BC: last night was a body blow. This morning I’m sending solidarity and care to all the progressive organizers - within and beyond electoral politics - who have worked tirelessly over so many years in this province. It is thanks to your unending effort that we have won and defended all our social gains: queer and disability rights, Indigenous rights, childcare and public health, working conditions and unionization, universal public services and more. None of these victories came without struggle. And that struggle must continue now, to protect them in every way we can. But not today. Today is a day to feel all the feelings, find comfort and get some rest. Tomorrow we rise to fight again.

I voted for my NDP candidate today. BC, make sure you vote before 8pm!

At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada. Despite the heroic efforts of the @psac_afpc workers who'll remain, camping will be chaos next summer. If you’re not a big corporation or foreign investor, you might just be invisible to this government.

On the road again! Join us for a town hall and let's talk building worker power, together.

La droite sait comment canaliser la colère légitime des classes populaires. Le problème, c’est la direction dans laquelle elle oriente cette colère. Ce ne sont pas les immigré·es ni les enfants transgenres qui vous rendent la vie impossible. Ce sont les banquiers et les milliardaires qui détiennent toute la richesse et tout le pouvoir. Il est temps d’attribuer la responsabilité à ceux et celles qui en sont réellement responsables.

The right knows how to channel the legitimate rage of working class people. The problem is where they direct that rage. It’s not immigrants and trans kids making your life impossible. It’s the bankers and the billionaires with all the wealth and power. It’s time to put the blame where it actually belongs.

Vancouver! I can't wait to celebrate 20 years of Don in Vancouver Kingsway with you all. Get your tickets today! dondavies.org/dance-party

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list.

BC, advance voting ends everywhere at 8pm PT today. Don't delay! This is a pivotal election for our province. As a British Columbian, I’m deeply concerned about what a BC Conservative government would do to our province, particularly the most vulnerable folks in our communities. I’ll be doing my part to defeat the Conservatives and elect a progressive government by voting for my NDP candidate Lara Honrado on Saturday.

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves. And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in. pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/…

D’après ce que me disent des ami·es d’Alberta, cette journée est en réalité assez difficile à vivre pour beaucoup. Pas le vote en faveur de demeurer au Canada, qui a été un soulagement, mais les neuf autres questions. Il apparaît de plus en plus clairement que le sentiment d’unité suggéré par le résultat du référendum est sapé par le soutien majoritaire apporté à des questions qui mettent en avant des politiques faisant des migrant·es des boucs émissaires. Mais aucune attaque de Danielle Smith contre les plus vulnérables ne permettra de résoudre les crises que connaissent l’Alberta dans les domaines de la santé, de l’éducation publique ou du coût de la vie. Ce sont là les conséquences d’années de sous-financement, et non celles des nouveaux et nouvelles arrivé·es qui tentent de se construire une vie dans cette belle province. Les Albertains et Albertaines méritent de vraies solutions aux crises auxquelles ils et elles sont confrontés·es, et non pas une recherche de boucs émissaires qui nous divise et alimente les préjugés. Aujourd’hui, tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes ont l’occasion de rejeter cette attitude et de dire : nous sommes solidaires des migrant·es qui subissent de plein fouet cette politique cynique et négative. Un Canada uni doit signifier bien plus que le simple rejet de la séparation. Cela doit signifier se battre concrètement pour nous tous — en construisant un mouvement qui transcende nos différences afin de faire de ce pays un lieu où chacun peut mener une vie empreinte de dignité, d’égalité et d’appartenance.

I’m hearing from friends in Alberta that today is actually hitting folks pretty hard. Not the vote to remain, which was a relief, but the other 9 questions. It’s becoming clear that the feeling of unity suggested by the referendum result is undercut by majority support for questions which feature policies that scapegoat migrants. But no amount of punching down by Danielle Smith will fix Alberta’s health care, public education or cost-of-living crises. These are the consequences of years of underfunding, not of newcomers trying to build a life in that beautiful province. Albertans deserve real solutions to the crises they face, not scapegoating that divides us and fuels prejudice. Right now, all Canadians have an opportunity to reject this and say: we stand with migrants facing the brunt of this cynical, negative politics. A united Canada must mean more than just rejecting separation. It must mean actually standing up for all of us — building a movement across our differences to make this a country where everyone can live a life of dignity, equality and belonging.

It should be illegal for Israel’s top arms producer to purchase a Canadian company. Elbit Systems is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. Cancel the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement, enact sanctions and a two-way arms embargo now.

À un moment où notre pays est menacé, il est encourageant de voir bien plus d’un million d’Albertaines et d’Albertains se rassembler pour rejeter la séparation et choisir le Canada. Ce résultat est le fruit du travail acharné de nombreuses personnes, et je leur suis reconnaissant de leurs efforts. Je tiens à souligner tout particulièrement le travail de la députée Heather McPherson et tout ce qu’elle a fait pour contribuer à cette victoire. Elle a également sonné l’alarme au sujet de l’ingérence étrangère troublante qui a eu lieu dans le cadre du processus référendaire. Nous avons besoin de réponses claires sur les efforts déployés par des acteurs liés au mouvement MAGA pour influencer le résultat du vote. L’intégrité de nos processus démocratiques ne devrait jamais être remise en question.

At a time when our country is under threat, it’s heartening to see well over a million Albertans come together to reject separation and choose Canada. This result was something that many people worked exceptionally hard for, and I am grateful for their efforts. I want to give special recognition to MP Heather McPherson for everything she did to help achieve this victory. She also raised the alarm about the disturbing foreign interference that went on in the referendum process. We need clear answers about efforts by MAGA-aligned operatives to influence the outcome of this vote. The integrity of our democratic processes should not be up for debate.

On se reprend bientôt mon ami ! Une belle soirée avec beaucoup de gens motivés pour rebâtir le NPD au Québec !
