Yesterday, as the world marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, our Leader Tom Mulcair rose in the House of Commons to poignantly reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust: Mr. Speaker, today we stand together to commemorate the Holocaust, humanity's darkest hour. We remember the millions of mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who were targeted by evil, including my wife's family. We remember these children whose bright eyes were shut too early and we remember the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. That day, humanity did more than put out a horrible fire. We revived the flame of the human spirit. The contrary of love is not hate, it’s indifference. Let’s never wallow in indifference based on the poison of anti-Semitism and intolerance in all its forms. New Democrats stand with those who wish to build a better Canada, one of diversity and peace, and so against hate and indifference, we will work tirelessly so that this can never happen again. And we will build a world where love will prevail.Wed 9:37 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

"Here's a small example of one of the many many things the Harper government could be doing to promote reduction in fossil fuel consumption. Instead they have subsidized the oil and gas industry in every way possible, and are now reaping the results of such a backward, unbalanced strategy. When the price of oil collapses, and you've bet the farm on oil, the entire country suffers," says Dick Canning, NDP candidate South Okanagan West Kootenay.Jan 22, 2015 11:44 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP

The building is a "living laboratory" as part of the Living Building Challenge. This campus is the second largest trades training institution in BC. A huge thanks to Pesident Jim Hamilton and Campus Dean Donna Lomas [Photo 2] for taking time to arrange our visit. Bravo Okanagan College!

I have just read that GM alfalfa has been detected in US hay shipments to China. As as a result, shipments to China have plunged and some deliveries have been rejected. US hay prices have fallen by 12 percent. This has to be a wake up call for us. Under no circumstance should Canada allow the commercialization of GM alfalfa! We owe it to our farmers.Dec 15, 2014 10:28 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP
