This is the queue of humanitarian aid trucks stuck on the Egyptian side of the Gaza border, blocked by the Israeli military. This is the day after the head of UN Food Programme stated there is “full blown famine in Northern Gaza moving its way South”
Thank you to all of the dental hygienists and the
@theCDHA
who have been the voice of reason during the rollout of the CDCP. This program is a win-win for both patients and providers.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and so is the smile of this CDCP patient's face. She received oral health care services from a

dental hygienist.
Well said!
Imagine a government made up of people like
@LMathys
, who place reason, respect and grace ahead of division and power.
Parliament reflects who we are as Canadians.
Let’s remember that next election.
This shows the damage Pierre Poilievre’s Trumpish approach to politics causes: he preys on and amplifies fear, suspicion, mistrust and confusion. These are not healthy bases for a government or country.
"Do you have confidence the next election will be free and fair?"
All:
Confident: 60%
Not Confident: 29%
Those confident by party vote:
LPC: 85%
NDP: 75%
BQ: 72%
GPC: 61%
CPC: 54%
PPC: 33%

Liberals have let the ultra-rich off the hook for years. But thanks to the NDP’s capital gains changes, the wealthiest will pay a little more.
Pierre Poilievre doesn't like this. Maybe that’s why he’s dining with Bay Street billionaires at a cash-for-access fundraiser tonight.
Interesting and revealing:
The reaction Poilievre gets when he talks about working class people to a business audience is enthusiastic
But when he talks about working class people to a working class audience, it’s pretty chilly
🤔
Poilievre speech to Cdn Building Trades Union conference bombs; applause “paled” to standing ovation for NDP’s Singh
Poilievre’s claim union trades workers are poor and can’t afford a house and his appeal to Carpenters not in the CBTU gets cool reaction
It takes a lot of ignorance to pen and approve a racist headline like this.
To Muslims, Palestinians and Sikhs across Canada targeted by this - know that you are not alone.
I will always stand with you against attempts to divide Canadians.
Today I questioned
@bankofcanada
Governor Tiff Macklem at the Finance Committee. We discussed high housing costs, excessive prices, corporate taxes, and ways to build a stronger economy for all.
Historic indeed.
I’d like to thank my Liberal colleagues for cooperating with the NDP to make this excellent public health improvement possible. For historic accuracy, it’s important note that dental care was a key demand of the NDP in the CASA.
At 7:08 a.m. yesterday morning, the first claim in the history of the Canadian Dental Care Plan🦷🪥 was made in Newfoundland. Since then, several thousand more Canadians have also been able to receive covered care.
This is a historic moment for our country.
Today is the Global Day of Action to

@NDP
calls on
@JustinTrudeau
@melaniejoly
to impose a two-way arms embargo. End the suffering!
#CeasefireNOW
Seniors who couldn't afford it yesterday can get dental care today. A million people can access cleanings, fillings, root canals & more.
@NDP
pushed for it & worked with the government to deliver. This is the help people get when MPs work together.
Waiting for

till age 80 for the rest of 🇨🇦, and supplemental screening for all women with Density Categories C and D. Ideally DBT for all, +MRI/CEM for D, and US/MRI/CEM for C. (a girl can hope...)
From a foreign policy perspective, this crackdown on campuses is a disaster.
If the US is known for one thing, it’s free speech.
But the world is now watching the American government beat up university students for protesting the senseless killing of civilians.
It’s May 1 - historic for many reasons - but especially so for the NDP and public health in Canada.
Today is the first day Canadians enrolled in the NDP’s Canada Dental Care Plan can go to the dentist, covered by the first national public dental care plan in Canada’s history.✊
The more the richest 40,000 Canadians (top 0.1%) tantrum about having to declare 66.7% of their capital gains *above* $250K/yr (while the rest of us have to declare 100% of our humble labour income), the stronger these poll numbers are gonna become. Please carry on!!

put forward serious amendments to Canada's competition law in committee today - remedies that actually restore competition, presumptions against mergers in concentrated markets, truth in advertised pricing. Meaningful improvements to Canada's law.
