"This is absolute BS The NDP has not abandoned the working class The only political party to stand on a picket line with workers is the NDP I have never seen Pierre or Trudeau standing on a picket line. I have never seen Pierre or Trudeau call out the greedy employing class The NDP abandoned workers and kitchen table issues long ago turning their backs on the very people they claim to represent. Blue-collar workers in this country have long needed a champion to stand up for themand you have been that voice. Thank you Pierre for taking this The NDP abandoned workers and kitchen table issues"

"Headlines rarely tell the full story. My position is clear: no project should move forward without Indigenous consent community support and strong environmental protections. Canada needs to have honest responsible conversations about how we move energy safely especially when communities and Indigenous nations are directly involved.

Whether were talking about tankers trucks rail or pipelines the priority must always be the same: protecting workers protecting the environment and making sure no community is left"
