Heading into the budget lock-up on this crucial day! As the new NDP Finance Critic, I'm eager to dive into the details. My goal is to craft policies that build a resilient, sustainable economy and improve the lives of all Canadians. #Budget2024 #cdnpoli

Our message to politicians: If you claim to support workers, say it with your chest.

Show your commitment to workers' rights with policies that prioritize workers & their families. #CdnPoli

Today’s federal budget includes a commitment to replace VIA Rail Canada’s aging long-distance train fleet, including the train that runs between Jasper and Prince Rupert.

As NDP transport critic I’ve pushed hard for this commitment and it’s good to see it in black and white.

Biggest non-story in #Budge2024 is the deficit. Fcst hardly changed from last year, despite new spending on several initiatives. That's partly cuz of new $$ from the capital gains change (which is great). But mostly cuz revenues keep outpacing pessimistic forecasts. #cdnecon /2

This was a good day - speaking
Anishinaabemowin in the house for National Indigenous Languages Day.

Proof #firefighters don't take a day off and their actions are like a light switch never found in the 'off' position. Your family, friends and collogues knows you acted because it was the right thing to do at the time & the recognition now is the right thing to do. #lifesaver

Met with United Steelworkers locals with MLA MeganDykeman to talk about their concerns in forestry, mining and telecommunications. Thanks for coming to the BC Legislature.

SoroptimistTriCities Give Her Wings Gala last night at the City of Port Coquitlam Community Centre was very special as we celebrated the 25th year anniversary for the club at the same time honouring 10 amazing award winners! All outstanding! Thanks to all the sponsors that contributed! 🙏❤

Glad to see this progress thanks to the NDP and the federal government. Now let's get the Sustainable Jobs Act over the finish line – workers are paying close attention. #C50

All of these are true:
 
1. Grocery prices are 📈
2. Loblaw executives are making multi-million 💰 salaries
3. Pierre Poilievre's Chief Strategist doubles as a Loblaw Lobbyist 🥸
 
That’s the Price of Pierre.
 
We are taking on corporate greed. Conservatives are cheering it on.

Despicable.

« Gut & cut » Corporate Conservatives refused to adopt #NDP initiated report to end rent increases for military personnel.

AND

Conservatives blocked debate on #Pharmacare Act that will help millions of Canadians get medication they need.

Cons don’t care about YOU
