I care very much about the health and future of NDP and want to be a part of helping make needed changes at this critical time. I  am honoured to be supporting Niall Ricardo in his bid for president.  Please see my launch video here.

We are open for business !

I have been an active advocate for Free Palestine for decades. As we head into 2026, I am ever mindful of the ongoing genocide taking place and the urgent need to continue to speak out for the upholding of international law, peace and justice, and recognition of a legitimate Palestinian statehood. As a Member of Parliament I was honoured to visit the occupied territories and Gaza on two occasions. So, from the film archives of 2009, after the brutal “Operation Cast Lead”, an excerpt from independent filmmaker Jase Tanner of Vancouver, detailing our CODE PINK delegation to Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.  View the film here.
