The Modern Commons Party is calling for immediate and equitable federal response to the wildfire crisis unfolding in Northern Manitoba, where several First Nations, including Pimicikamak Cree Nation, Mathias Colomb, Garden Hill, and Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN), have faced mass evacuations under increasingly dangerous conditions.

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.

The Modern Commons Party of Canada is deeply concerned by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent statement acknowledging that tariffs are “almost certain” in any future trade deal with the United States. 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.

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.

The Modern Commons Party stands with the workers at the CN Tower who are facing a lockout by their employer, Canada Lands Company. Every worker deserves fair wages, respect on the job, and a voice at the bargaining table—whether they work in tourism, transportation, or any other sector.

Today, we celebrate Canada—not as a flawless nation, but as a community always striving to be better. Canada Day is a time to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and the country we hope to build together.

The Modern Commons Party is voicing serious concern about the federal government’s decision to delay the 2025 federal budget until after the summer parliamentary break. In a time of rising costs, global instability, and growing uncertainty at home, Canadians expect — and deserve — leadership that is transparent, accountable, and proactive.

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.
