Today’s budget is Christmas come early for CEOs, foreign investors and arms dealers. It talks a lot about affordability but does little to actually lower your costs. The single biggest item in the budget is a “mega deduction” for corporations, with a price tag of $36 billion over 5 years. Fifty per cent more than all of the “affordability measures” combined. But where is the mega deduction to your grocery bill, or your rent? The “Masters of our Destiny” in Budget 2026 is not you and your family, it’s members of the billionaire class that the Prime Minister invited to his Investment Summit. #cdnpoli #canada #NDP

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it. This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb. There is only one solution that will save these jobs and put Canada back in the driver's seat: we need to nationalize Stelco. #canada #cdnpoli #stelco #NDP

People are getting gouged at the pumps, but another costly handout of public money to oil and gas companies is no solution. Even after the Carney government’s $2.4 billion giveaway, gas prices continue to soar. In July, they were up more than 25% compared to last year. Instead of more corporate welfare, it’s time for a windfall tax on the big oil giants that are set to make $100 billion in profits this year because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Doing so will generate billions in new revenue that we can use to give Canadians real relief at gas stations and grocery checkouts. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-diesel-gas-excise-tax-9.7329128 #canada #cdnpoli #gas #NDP

The Liberals and Conservatives just voted together to attack labour, environmental, and Indigenous rights to fast-track corporate mega projects. This is the exact same approach the Liberals fought under Stephen Harper. Now, they're bringing back that very same agenda and Harper is cheering from the sidelines. We don’t save Canada by sacrificing our environment and constitutional protections on the altar of private profits. Bill C-39 is an unmitigated disaster, and Canadians will be fighting back. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/major-government-economic-legislation-c-39-clears-first-vote/ #canada #cdnpoli #politics #NDP

'BC Green Leader to run in Saanich North and the Islands' "We’ve seen a near decade of a B.C. NDP government and every major issue has gotten worse," she said, adding that the Greens plan to focus on improving healthcare, taxing the "ultra-wealthy and mega corporations," and funding public programs. https://cheknews.ca/bc-green-leader-to-run-in-saanich-north-and-the-islands-current-green-mla-to-step-aside-1349599/ #BCPoli #BCGreenParty #NDP #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #HousingCrisis

The profit-taking for Wall St and Bay St begins immediately! Billable hours already piling up as big banks will skim millions off the sale itself. The rich making bank off the public: welcome to privatization, folks. #cdnpoli #canada #airport #NDP

Avi Lewis on CTV Power Play speaking against Carney privatizing our airports. Full interview. https://www.ctvnews.ca/video/2026/09/16/were-totally-against-privatizing-airports-its-a-mistake-ndp-leader-avi-lewis/ #cdnpoli #canada #canpoli #ndp #markcarney #avilewis

There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it. Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while workers and passengers pay the price. #cdnpoli #canada #airports #NDP

2/ The Canadian Labour Congress has outlined exactly why this is such a bad idea. We don’t make Canada stronger by selling off our critical infrastructure. Protecting Canadian sovereignty means keeping our airports in public hands. https://canadianlabour.ca/airport-privatization-would-cost-workers-and-passengers-clc-report-warns/ #cdnpoli #canada #NDP #labour

Remember that time… like 10 minutes ago… when we all had to vote Liberal because “otherwise we get the Conservatives.” Well… after a day of selling off our airports and slashing corporate taxes on new investment to levels never seen in a modern economy (a $48 Billion gift with no budget line item yet), we end the day, and Carney’s Trillion Dollar Summit with a keynote from…. Stephen ___ing Harper. “I am very encouraged by the detailed comments the prime minister made today on doing just some of these things, and I welcome them” Pierre must me so deeply confused today. Poor dear… 😂 🤮 There is only one alternative to the Liberal-Conservative duopoly in Canada, and that’s the NDP. #canpoli #cdnpoli #canada #CarneyCons #LiberalParty #CPC #ndp #progressive #climateAction #publicGood

"If we are not at the table, we are on the menu." - Mark Carney, Davos, January 2026. Carney in September: sells airports to foreign investors, cuts pharmacare, guts emissions targets, bails out condo developers. He was at the table. Just not our table. Neoliberalism in one sentence: publicly built, then privately owned. #canada #capitalism #canpoli #polcan #cdnpoli #NDP #LPC #neoliberalism #markcarney #liberalparty #privatization

1/ Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions. Private equity moguls and fund managers love it! Once they’re in, they own a piece of a natural monopoly, and they print money for decades. This is a mistake we do not need to make. The alternative to privatizing our airports is to NOT DO IT. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-to-announce-steps-toward-opening-up-airports-to-more-private/ #cdnpoli #canada #NDP #labour

So, I'm watching Power & Politics on CBC-Gem with Katie Simpson. Her "power panel" are all a bunch of right wingers who drool for free trade and no doubt get aroused when they fantasize about Mulroney, Reagan, and Thatcher. Simpson asked one of them, Marieke Walsh of the Globe and Mail, whether we need to have a conversation over whether CUSMA is worthwhile pursuing or not. Ms Walsh, of course, said we need it, no matter what. In pursuing it, so far we've changed our tax policy (DST), changed our budgetary priorities (and have started austerity of public services to do this), thrown refugees and immigrants overboard, gutted our pursuit of net zero, and have failed to stand up for international law in any meaningful sense. Now Carney and his right wing cronies are talking about giving up supply management and are asking the provinces to stock American booze. I can't wait to see what noodle-arm Carney gives up next. (*good lord! That freak has no elbows!*) Canada is a vast rich nation with loads of resources. It's utter nonsense that we need to turn ourselves into a de facto territory of the United States. I'm 61, and in my youth before free trade almost everything was made in Canada. People got by okay then. #cdnpoli #ndp #canpoli #markcarney

The leader of the #NDP is not in fact doing anything resembling a party rebuild but instead has decided to take a month long sabbatical in Québec to learn French….

@greenpeace@mastodon.social NDP politician said Carney must not burn the world, and a reporter laughed and asked if he really meant Carney was trying to "burn the world" The answer is yes. Yes is the answer. Carney does not have our permission. We THOUGHT he was sane. 🇨🇦 #wildfires #lpc #ndp #cdnpoli #climate #nspoli #nbpoli #peipoli #polqc #polcan #onpoli #saskpoli #manpoli #kinew #ableg #bcpoli #canada

Canadians deserve better than being told we must choose between climate action and affordability. The Green New Deal is a blueprint to tackle both: lower energy costs, reduced emissions and one million good-paying jobs across the country. Join me and some incredible guests on July 30th to learn more about our plan and how we can fight for it together. 🔗 RSVP now: https://actionnetwork.org/events/fight-for-a-green-new-deal-people-over-profit #canada #cdnpoli #climate #NDP
