These are great ideas that Carney would be wise to support.

Ahead of the 2026 Budget announcement, New Democrats are 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%.

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.

Conservatives are going door-to-door dressed as themselves.... scary enough for most Canadians and their kids. (The one on the right is BC's latest edition to the Con clan - Doerkson). Hope y'all have big dogs that bark at anyone that looks suspicious....

“I do not want to hear Hakeem Jeffries telling me this isn't a partisan moment. We beat them”

This is how I feel about #vanpoli too, to be honest. Can we have some principles and change please, not collaboration with the enemy

I'm dancing in the street on the hollowed out, soulless bodies of MAGA morons who destroyed so much in our country, who celebrated ICE murdering our people, who cheered on a fascist president pillaging our treasury. I do not want to hear Jeffries telling me this isn't a partisan moment. We beat them

Trevor Ford was outgoing Vancouver mayor Ken Sim's chief of staff, then managed his recent election campaign.

Sim was voted out, but Ford has a new job - at the Vancouver Police Department.

Coun. @lucymaloney.bsky.social has some questions about this. #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/11...

"In 2019, journalist Sean Craig reported that “Postmedia has given a directive for all of its papers to shift to the political right, in an unprecedented, centralized fashion.”

In BC, that's the Vancouver Sun and Province. And we know that newspapers often set the tone for TV. #bcpoli #vanpoli

"Postmedia’s decade of pushing Canada’s politics to the right"

Canada’s largest newspaper chain (including Vancouver Sun & Province), US-owned, has amplified conservative grievance politics, creating fertile ground for MAGA-style ideas

When we compare Canada to the US, Canada looks like a superstar.

When we compare Canada to the EU, Canada looks like a villain.

Canada wants an exemption from the EU’s powerful Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a move that would accommodate past decisions to dilute and delay Alberta’s industrial carbon tax while keeping Europe at the centre of the Carney government’s plans to diversify Canada’s trading relationships.

Should be a project of national importance.

1. It's one of Canada's top tourist destinations

2. It's a unique space for artists to ply their trade & expand Canadian culture

3. Fed gov't created it. They should help maintain it.

Will the new Vancouver council #RightSize VPD's budget after ABC Vancouver rewarded the politicized #VPD police union for endorsing ABC Vancouver?

Back to their pre-ABC budget, or less, to focus on more services for citizens after ABC slashed so many services to fund VPD endorsers?
