DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses. - Medicare for All - A $20-an-hour minimum wage - The PRO Act - A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program - An AI data center moratorium - Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform - REAL campaign finance reform

It's time for nation-building projects for the people. Ahead of the 2026 Budget, we're calling on the Liberals to prioritize three big projects that will lower costs and make life better for millions of families, paid for by a wealth tax on the 1%. • Make a down payment to build a network of 50 public grocery stores. • Triple the federal government's community housing investment to build one million non-market homes for people. • Make a nation-building investment in health care, including funding pharmacare from coast to coast to coast. Read my full letter to Prime Minister Carney.
Letter from NDP Avi Lewis to Prime Minister Carney outlining three NDP priorities for Budget 2026: 1. A down payment on a network of public grocery stores from coast to coast. $350 million for initial infrastructure, $290 million ongoing to build 50 stores. 2. Triple the federal government's investment in community housing over 10 years to $18 billion, to build a million new non-market homes. 3. A nation-building investment in health care, guaranteeing an increase of at least 6% per year to the Canada Health Transfer, costing $12 billion over 5 years. Additionally, conclude and fund pharmacare deals with the remaining provinces and territories. To fund these investments, we are calling for a wealth tax starting at 1% on fortunes exceeding $10 million and escalating to 3% on the largest fortunes, which could generate up to $40 billion a year, and $500 billion over ten years.

I didn’t think Thomas Lukaszuk was on Danielle Smith’s side, but if he does this, they’re on the same team. I didn’t sign up as an FC supporter to be part of a new political party’s database. My info better not be used that way. Anyway, this ego trip is a gift to the UCP.

The NDP and UCP will hate him for this, but Thomas Lukaszuk might form a new political party, built on the massive Forever Canadian database. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

I did not sign the Forever Canadian petition to become part of a new political party’s data programme. I signed it because I didn’t want a divisive referendum. In 2027, I want an NDP govt so we never have to deal with divisive separatist referenda again.
Gil McGowan (@gilmcgowan) profile pictureGil McGowan@gilmcgowanNov 1
I lost count of how many times Thomas told me and others that he was NOT going to start a new party or get back into politics. But now he’s circulated a survey to Forever Canadian supporters suggesting that’s EXACTLY what he plans to do.

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/…

Bloomberg also reports that EA is cutting "around 400 jobs" across the company.

Today, far-right trillionaire Elon Musk said that Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec should separate from Canada. Powerful foreign interests want our country broken up, and vulnerabilities in Alberta’s upcoming referendum give them that chance. Why aren't the Liberals taking this threat seriously?

Based on new information reported today, I again asked the Speaker to allow Parliamentarians to question the government about foreign interference and issues with the Alberta referendum. Once again, the Speaker has denied my request. 1/2
