Thanks so much.
Gosh it's like a splash in the face with cold water to hear these women!
A very needed refreshment of the democracy gene.
"How MUCH DOES IT COST for fascism?"
Today, on Emancipation Day, we mark 191 years since slavery was formally made illegal across the British Empire.
Today is a chance to recommit to building a society that empowers every Black Ontarian to thrive. Thank you to all the Ontarians who work to build a province that lives up to the dream of social, political, and economic emancipation. Ontario has significant work ahead to dismantle the systemic barriers that Black Ontarians face in housing, education, health care, and employment.
Happy Emancipation Day! Onwards in the work of winning freedom! #OnPoli #Ontario #Toronto #ToPoli #NDP #OntarioNDP #TorCen #TorontoCentre
The NDP put pharmacare on the map. The Liberals took it away.
If you want good policies for people, stop voting for neo-Liberals!

CoSocialJohn Francis 🦫🇨🇦🍁💪⬆️ (@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca)Bad news for people with #t1d and #t2d in #canada as the Carney govt appears set to reneg on national pharmacare.
Insulin was to be in the initial set of drugs covered by national pharmacare.
Almost 10% of Canadians have a form of diabetes, including over 25% of people over 65 years old.

Thank you for putting this forward. I did write to Minister Patty Hajdu:

Dear Minister Patty Hajdu,
I feel it is unfair that Air Canada flight attendants often work many hours that are unpaid. There was a bill that MP Bonita Zarrillo put in, in the previous session (that being the 44th Parliament, first session) that would have addressed this issue. It was bill C-415, the Flight Attendants' Remuneration Act. Please see the following URL:
https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-415
I would like to see you reintroduce and pass this bill.
Sincerely,
Mark Grieveson

I also did fill out the form here:
Also, thank you and the NDP team for all the great work and advocacy you did. As a low income person, I certainly appreciate now having dental benefits. Super helpful.

Sent an email to the Liberal Party asking how one goes about renouncing one’s membership to the Party. I couldn’t find any way to do it via the website. 
UPDATE: apparently it’s as easy as sending them an email via the website.
Canada's NDPRules Governing Leadership Contest 2026Canada's NDP is excited to share full details of the 2026 Leadership Race. This is a crucial first step in what will be an important opportunity for New Democrats to come together, rebuild, and elect our new leader.
TIL about Leah Gazan, a Winnipeg #NDP MP that survived the slaughter of the last election. I think I like her for the leadership. She's a vocal socialist, campaigning for indigenous rights, women's rights, the homeless, and in opposition to Israel's genocide of Palestine.
Judging by a few House speeches I've seen, she's got some fire in her, but I'd argue she needs more. It's a good start though.

It's too hot outside! But prescribers will be available tomorrow (Friday July 25) at 325 Bleeker St from 1 pm – 4 pm in the common area. They can prescribe air conditioners for community members on social assistance who need a break from the heat. Low-income seniors might also qualify! Please share with anyone who might benefit! Thank you to the organizers for helping to protect our neighbours!

Remember the people who said AI wouldn’t take away jobs? The current LLM/AI space is absolute shit at actually doing real work… but they are cutting and taking jobs anyway.
Oh, and we went from a Liberal Canadian government that at least had a Universal Basic Income on their radar… to one that is going to cut 1000s of federal jobs and, you guessed it, get AI to do stuff instead.
Liberal Government acting like Conservative government

Oh man, heard a piece about the Canadian #NDP leadership getting in gear, and mentions of Avi Lewis as a potential.
I dislike that guy more any time I see him. Once he was often platformed by TVO, and never without his smug, condescending, self-absorbed demeanor. He mostly seems to ride on familial relationships/history rather than any personal strengths. Hope they don't entertain him as a serious candidate or the party is finished.
Grassroots NDP group calls on party faithful to redirect donations to local riding associations | CBC News
Two elections ago, I made a donation to my local party as I want to support local organizing efforts.
I learned later they they had been told to send most of it to party HQ.
I went make that mistake again.

QTrump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ has passed the US Senate – these are the winners and losers
"Trump has been able to enforce discipline in his own party and get what he needed from Congress."
All political parties are magnifiers of their leaders' power. They are not democratic, not even those with "democratic" in their name.
The ConversationTrump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ has passed the US Senate – these are the winners and losersDonald Trump’s scored a major political win, after his mega tax and spending bill cleared its biggest hurdle. It could be signed into law as soon as July 4.

A day without Trans kids is like a day without sunshine! Thank you to the fabulous team behind making this banner! Toronto's Trans March is not just a celebration—it is a protest, a declaration, & a demand for justice.
In the face of rising hate, Ontario New Democrats will always have your back. We will always fight to ensure that Trans Ontarians are safe, supported, and celebrated! Happy Pride and Happy Trans Pride!
