For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

Bhutila Karpoche on Bluesky

From universal health care to dental care, the programs that make us proud to be Canadian wouldn't be possible without New Democrats in Parliament.

As Liberals shift to the right, now more than ever we need strong progressive left voices fighting for our country and all Canadians.

This is a screenshot of a Toronto Star article with the headline “Opinion: Why we still need a strong federal NDP” and quote: “Historically, the NDP has pushed for policies that prioritized those issues, influencing governments to adopt more progressive stances. Whether it’s health care, child care, or climate action, the party advocates for the well-being of everyday Canadians, even when it’s not politically convenient.  What is the bigger threat—losing ground on the social programs that define us, or the chaos that is Trump? Can we afford to focus on one while ignoring the other?  We can’t afford to pick one battle—our future depends on both.”. Underneath is a photo of Bhutila listening do a constituent during one of her town halls.
