Today in the House we learned Pierre Poilievre thinks co-op housing is a Soviet gimmick … pathetic considering housing co-ops are owned by their residents and co-ops are an important tool for creating housing people can afford. Do better @PierrePoilievre

Today, New Democrats moved a motion to tax the excess profit of grocery corporations gouging you at the till. Our motion will: - Put money back in your pocket. - Establish a National School Food Program. - Take on corporate greed. Greedy grocery giants must pay what they owe.

Good to see the ban on replacement workers secured by the NDP sail through the House at second reading. Looking forward to seeing it pass through the rest of the process without delay.

Thank you for your work @LisaMarieBarron on pushing for a voting system that reflects the diversity of people and ideas in Canada. Today I was proud to vote for Lisa Marie’s M-86, on a Citizen’s Assembly on Electoral Reform. Disappointed when Trudeau & Poilievre voted it down.

The latest CMHC report confirms what we already know. Libs & Cons got us into this mess w 3 decades of bad policy. The Lib Nat Housing ‘Strategy’ has been a litany of delay and disappointment and Poilievre is only offering the developer-friendly style mess we saw Cons try in ON.

Pierre Poilievre says Ukraine is ‘a far away foreign land’ the government shouldn’t be talking about. Is @jamesbezan prepared to stand by that statement?

The Lib-Cons coalition has a strong history of standing for corporate interests over Canadian ones.   Last week, we witnessed a rare moment: the Cons were willing to diverge from that tradition, in order to stand against the RBC/HSBC merger.   I urge the Govt to take note.

Conservatives have been working overtime to distract from the fact that they support the use of replacement workers during strikes.  In MB, it was the first thing the Conservative government proposed when MPI went on strike, even though it increases prolongs labour disputes.

The real coalition in the House of Commons has 3 parts: the Libs, the Conservatives, and their corporate buddies. Even a tiny 1% increase to tax rich corporations would fund the govt’s plans to build affordable housing, but the Lib-Con coalition blocks our efforts every time.

Seeds of the housing crisis were sown in the ‘90s when the Fed. Govt cancelled its contributions to building housing. Downloading to provinces & municipalities by Ottawa caused this prob. It won’t be solved by a Cons. Leader looking to make cuts & point fingers at someone else.
