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 @theCDHA 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.

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 #StopSendingArms to Israel. Around the world, people are demanding their governments end complicity in Netanyahu’s war. In Canada, the @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.

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!! #cdnpoli

MP @DonDavies 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.

Poilievre’s intention to render what is unconstitutional constitutional is just profoundly dangerous. You are not a “freedom fighter” if your intent is to violate fundamental rights and freedoms! I guess he aspires to be an authoritarian leader!
