- The NDP has been advocating for a Filipino Cultural Centre in Metro Vancouver for years. Our persistence resulted in a federal budget commitment for this much-needed resource. The Filipino-Canadian community contributes so much to our country — they deserve a place to call home.
00:00 - Today, we celebrate Philippines Independence Day. More than 1 million Filipino Canadians call Canada home, and their contributions strengthen our nation economically, culturally, politically and socially. Happy Independence Day! Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! 🇵🇭🇨🇦

I offer my sincere condolences to the loved ones of TPS Constable Marc Pinizzotto and OPP Constable Tarun Bali. I'm thinking of their families, colleagues and communities who are in mourning today.Update: Toronto police officer Marc Pinizzotto, 43, was killed while conducting a search warrant earlier this morning, said Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw. trib.al/6AHjJuT - Don Davies reposted✊🏻 NO JETS T.O.! Federal New Democrats stand with the @OntarioNDP and the people of Toronto against Doug Ford’s destructive Billy Bishop scheme. The Prime Minister has the power to shut this down once and for all.

Carney building a massive airport on Toronto’s waterfront would be a historic mistake inflicted on the city Consistent effort over 50 years has recovered Toronto’s waterfront from an ugly industrial area, and now a dumb decision by him for a US bank might undo it allOttawa opens consultation for Billy Bishop airport plan theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto…
