Modern Commons Party Statement on Canada’s Recognition of Palestine, and the Need for a Ceasefire and Arms Embargo

This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will formally recognize the State of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025. This decision, while conditional on a commitment to democratic reforms by the Palestinian Authority—including elections without Hamas and meaningful steps toward demilitarization—is a long overdue and necessary move in Canada’s foreign policy. The Modern Commons Party fully supports this shift. But we also believe recognition alone is not enough.

This revelation, following closely on the heels of Canada’s withdrawal of the Digital Services Tax (DST), signals a troubling shift in Canada’s approach to defending its economic sovereignty.

Modern Commons Party Responds to U.S. Letter on Wildfire Smoke: “Try Breathing Through Your Own Entitlement”

The Modern Commons Party is firing back at a recent letter sent by U.S. Congress members to Ambassador Kirsten Hillman, demanding answers from Canada over wildfire smoke drifting into the United States. The Party is calling the letter self-centred, uninformed, and emblematic of the broader failure to take climate change seriously.

Honouring the 81st Anniversary of D-Day

Eighty-one years ago, over 14,000 Canadians stormed the beaches of Normandy alongside our allies in the largest amphibious assault in history. D-Day was a pivotal moment in the fight against fascism—an operation that marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War and a defining moment in Canada's proud military legacy.

In a time of rising costs, global instability, and growing uncertainty at home, Canadians expect — and deserve — leadership that is transparent, accountable, and proactive.

Housing Can’t Come at the Cost of Nature: Modern Commons on Ontario’s Bill 23

The Modern Commons Party of Canada respects that housing is a provincial responsibility—but federal leaders must not remain silent when development comes at the cost of Canada’s natural heritage. Ontario’s Bill 23, the “More Homes Built Faster Act,” aims to address the urgent housing crisis. That goal is important, and it’s one we share. Every Canadian deserves access to affordable, safe housing. But the tools we use to get there matter—and Bill 23 raises red flags.

National Accessibility Week: It’s Time to Build a Canada Without Barriers

As National Accessibility Week 2025 unfolds (May 25–31), the Modern Commons Party reaffirms its unwavering belief: accessibility is a right, not a request. Millions of Canadians—over 1 in 5—live with visible and invisible disabilities. Despite decades of progress, too many still face systemic exclusion in employment, public services, housing, healthcare, and even democracy itself.
