"And why Because their American leadership doesn't want Canadian workers to have decent pay decent hours of work decent conditions and career growth opportunities. They would much rather send their billionaire CEO on space tourism trips. These are basic labour rights that Canadian workers have fought long and hard for and companies like Amazon are a threat to them. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016665040896565532 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016665040896565532"

"This week I met with leaders from the National Council of Canadian Muslims (@NCCM) We spoke about the rise of Islamophobia here at home and the responsibility that political leaders have to combat hate & stand up for peoples rights and dignity. Today is a stark reminder as we commemorate the National Day of Remembrance of the Qubec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia"

"Je comprends quel point il est important de pouvoir couter et parler aux Canadiens et Canadiennes en franais. Je mengage apprendre le franais parce que le bilinguisme est essentiel pour diriger et pour unir notre pays. Le Canada est bilingue. Mon travail cest de ltre aussi. Comme travailleur je sais que chaque nouvel outil compte. Aujourdhui apprendre le franais est un outil que je dois matriser pour mieux reprsenter tout le Canada. #NPD #NDP #cdnpoli #ensembleonpeutgagner"
