Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.
This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.

So…you think that people are just interchangeable components that can just be plugged into a new role, whenever the wind changes? That all those skilled tradesmen can just be swapped into other jobs in healthcare, or construction, or IT…and the difference in qualifications and pay are irrelevant to the issue?
You may be able to create new jobs in other industries, but that doesn’t change the fact that thousands of other people just lost their income. On paper, it seems like a straight swap. One job disappears and another one opens. But the reality is a lot more complicated.
