Pour les PDG, les investisseurs étrangers et les marchands d’armes, le budget présenté aujourd’hui, c’est Noël avant l’heure. Il parle beaucoup d’abordabilité, mais ne fait pas grand-chose pour réduire réellement vos dépenses.
Le poste le plus important du budget est une « méga-déduction » pour les entreprises, dont le coût s’élève à 36 milliards de dollars sur 5 ans. Soit 50 % de plus que l’ensemble des « mesures d’abordabilité » réunies. Mais où est la méga-déduction sur votre facture d’épicerie ou votre loyer ?
Les « Maîtres chez nous » dans le budget 2026, ce ne sont pas vous et votre famille, mais les membres de la classe des milliardaires que le Premier ministre a invités à son sommet sur l’investissement.
This budget did not have meaningful investment in non-market housing, affordable groceries or better healthcare. In fact, it looks like Christmas came early for billionaires and CEOs. They get a $36 billion tax break, while Canadians are still struggling to put food on the table.
The developers at BioWare know how to run their studio. They know how to make the games that fans love. They should be given the first opportunity – and the federal support – to buy it and run it themselves.

BioWare’s US parent company, EA, has decided to close the studio. These publishers buy developers, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for profit. There's a pattern of US companies buying Canadian businesses and shutting them down, costing Canadians their jobs. (2/3)
BioWare is an Edmonton-based video game studio that created acclaimed series like #MassEffect, Baldur’s Gate, and Dragon Age. Canada’s video game industry creates some of our most important cultural exports, and #BioWare was among our greatest success stories. (1/3)

Avi Lewis: "I'm getting flashbacks to Joe Biden, who was trying to convince Americans the economy was doing better than their experience. If you look at the budget, there's a lot of charts that say the economy is doing really well, we're creating jobs, we're doing better — people are not feeling it."

Avi Lewis: "One in five dollars spent by this government in this budget right now is going to the military, is going to weapons and war. That is not an agenda that deals with the cost of living crisis."

MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

Mark Carney described climate change as "the world's greatest existential threat" in 2019.
It's only gotten worse.

The NDP is bringing the people's priorities to the table for Budget 2026.
ALT Article headline with a picture of NDP leader Avi Lewis: NDP demands new investment 'for the people' ahead of 2026 budget.
ALT Screengrabs of Avi Lewis giving a press conference with NDP MPs. It quotes him saying: It's time to put the working class back at the centre of economic decisions that will shape this country's future. / These are true nation-building projects for the people.

Canadians are looking to this year's budget and wondering, is it going to make life better for people like me?
The NDP has put forward three measures to make sure that it does.
It's time to put the working class back at the centre of economic decisions that will shape this country's future.

The NDP outlines the party's priorities ahead of the federal budget: “It's time to put the working class back at the centre of economic decisions that will shape this country's future.”
We are screening a film looking back on those four decades of success.
Thought it all, Rick has always shown what grace, determination and courage truly look like.
So honoured to co-sponsor an event on the Hill featuring one of our greatest Canadians, the incomparable Rick Hansen.
Through Rick’s Man in Motion Tour completed 40 years ago and other efforts, almost half a billion dollars has been raised for medical research and support. 1/2

NDP leader Avi Lewis proposes tax on wealth over $10M
This money would be used to fund
1. social housing
2. public grocery stores
3. More money for Pharmacare, Dentalcare, and Medicare
Liberals voted against a Conservative bill that would encourage businesses to invest in equipment that captures heat and recycles it into energy. NDP and Bloc supported it.
Pretty small, partisan behaviour by Liberals to kill a bill so objectively positive.
