IT'S TIME TO RESTORE NORTHLANDER TRAIN SERVICE

 

Restoring the passenger train service to Northern Ontario must be a political priority. Public transit is a right. We must work towards the restoration of this historic symbol of northern pride.

IT'S TIME TO END PENSION THEFT

 

New Democrats are calling on the Liberals to fix the bankruptcy laws that put their wealthy insider friends ahead of hardworking Canadians. Pensions are deferred wages, and workers deserve to be paid what they’re owed.

IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT FREE PRESCRIPTION MEDS FOR ALL

 

Universal Pharmacare is essential when we talk about equality for all Canadians. Everyone who has access to healthcare should also have access to essential medications prescribed by their doctor or nurse practitioner.

IT'S TIME CANADIANS HAD FAIR ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

 

To help struggling families get ahead, New Democrats are calling for immediate action to ensure Canadians have fair access to the Employment Insurance (EI) benefits they’ve paid for. EI should be there when workers need it.

IT'S TIME TO STOP BIG DATA LOBBYING IN OTTAWA

 

Privacy laws regulating government departments and private companies do not apply to political parties, and while parties have their own privacy policies, they’re effectively self-policing. Canada needs rules and oversight for political parties’ data operations.

400 children in Kashechewan First Nation are without a "safe and comfy school". The community has initiated a national campaign to fight for these children.

IT'S TIME ST. ANNE'S SURVIVORS HAD JUSTICE

 

The federal government breached their legal obligations by withholding thousands of pages of evidence that proved the widespread abuse and torture of children at St. Anne’s Residential School.

IT'S TIME THAT APOLOGIES MATTER

 

Romeo Saganash and Charlie Angus introduced a parliamentary motion in the House of Commons calling on the Canadian Catholic Bishops to begin the process of a formal papal apology.

The massive infrastructure of Canada Post reaches every part of this country and has the potential to serve Canadians differently and better. It's time to ensure the future of Canada Post and support creative services like postal banking and food delivery to northern and remote communities.

IT'S TIME FOR A NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION ACTION PLAN

 

With support from medical, Indigenous, and mental health leaders, Charlie Angus has launched the campaign Not One More calling for a national suicide prevention action plan.  Canada is one of the only G7 countries without a national plan to prevent suicide.​
