Horrified at the news of a shooting in a mosque tonight in Québec City. We stand with our Muslim neighbours against this act of hatred.
Sincere congratulations to our new leader on his extraordinary first round victory. Bravo! Let's all work together.
NDP is calling for an emergency debate on Trump's #MuslimBan. Canada must speak out and do its part to address these reprehensible policies.
I thank Mr. Harper for his service & congratulate Mr. Trudeau. His win tonight is a significant achievement for his party. —TM
Today, millions of Canadians voted for the #NDP to keep fighting for them — and that's exactly what we'll do. —TM
It's unacceptable to ban immigrants based on their religion but it is
acceptable to ban someone for spouting hate, Mr. Trump. #BanTrump
With the polls closed, I want to thank everyone who voted for, and dug deep to build, this incredible campaign. —TM
Congratulations on your historic victory, . Inspired by the hopeful, optimistic campaign you ran.
Don't worry, fellow #BlueJays fans. , @pmharper and I have a busy September and October lined up. #ComeTogether —TM
I was wondering who was kicking the back of my seat on tonight. Always fun to run into . —TM
On #Canada150 let’s commit to meaningful reconciliation, and to making Canada more equal, just and inclusive.
Happy Canada Day to all.

Tom Mulcair: Take a closer look at what Pierre Poilievre is peddling
Four years ago, we lost our friend Jack. Let's finish what he started. Don't let them tell you it can't be done. —TM
Incredible recognition for our country's musical talent. Congrats on 11 #GRAMMYNOMS for Canadian artists , & !
Stuart McLean, Canada's great storyteller, someone I was proud to call a friend, has left us. Our love to his family and a nation of fans.
So inspiring! Canadian law school students band together to help refugees banned by Trump
Overwhelming sadness. Leonard Cohen, a poet of genius, has left us. His words will stay with us forever. May he rest in peace.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control. The stars indeed look very different today. Your music inspired millions. Rest in peace David Bowie.
Thank you, #Vancouver. We will replace the politics of fear and division with hope and optimism. #Ready4Change
Canada is a country of diversity, peace and inclusion. We cannot, and we will not tolerate hate and violence.
Trudeau himself has smoked marijuana since being elected but young people who do the same can get a criminal record? That's just not fair.
Canadians need a guarantee that they won't face discrimination at our borders. beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/

Tom Mulcair: Why all the fuss about Twitter's description of CBC?
It is despicable to claim that it is not "normal" to be gay. All Canadians must come together to deplore all forms of homophobia. —TM
Canada must make every effort to ensure that Saudi Arabian writer and blogger Raif Badawi regains his freedom. I asked the Prime Minister to move from words to action.

The homophobic statements from the CPC candidate in Mississauga-Malton are unacceptable and Stephen Harper must remove him immediately. –TM
Millions are being wasted convicting Cdns for possession of marijuana. We must decriminalize immediately. #cdnpoli
Gotta love a comeback. Congrats - bring on the #ALCS! // Félicitations aux Blue Jays. #ComeTogether —TM

MULCAIR: Canadians deserve government accountability - especially now
If a fascist becomes president of the US, I want to be on the record having opposed it long before that election. buzzfeed.com/paulmcleod/tom
Upon the passing of Fidel Castro let us think of the lives impacted by his actions and be hopeful for the future of the Cuban people.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I play but if I did, you know I would pwn it. #NewbDemocrats #cod leaderpost.com/business/techn
Les délais continuent pour les immigrants iraniens...il n'y a plus d'excuse !
Unreasonable delays continue for Iranian immigrants...There is no excuse.

“My experience has taught me that when you’re in a hole, the first thing you have to do is stop digging.”—Tom Mulcair #Ready4Change
Yesterday's attack on #Syrian refugees in #Vancouver was a despicable violent act. Compassion, not hate, is what makes us Canadian.
I've seen this photo going around. To be clear, I would prefer an orange
lightsaber. #MayThe4thBeWithYou
Catherine and I are shocked by news of the horrific attacks in #Paris. We pray tonight for the victims, their families, & all Parisians. –TM
Especially proud of my Irish roots today. A clear progressive message from voters & resounding victory for equality.
Sincere congratulations to , who has made history tonight and who has inspired women all over the world.
Today, we salute those who have served, honour the fallen, and pay respects to their families. #RememberThem —TM
In this election, Canadians have a clear choice: Four more years of Stephen Harper and the Conservatives or our #NDP plan for change. –TM
Sending solidarity to all the holding a sit-in on the House floor to demand measures against gun violence. #NoBillNoBreak
Until my replacement is chosen, I will work tirelessly in the House & across Canada–because we will always be the party that fights for you.
Systematic excessive delays for highly-qualified and selected Iranian immigrants. There’s no excuse.
'Maybe we're singled out?': Iranians in Quebec say delays for permanent residency are excessive, unreasonable
Craft brewers would get tax break under federal #NDP plan: cbc.ca/1.2990324 #InternationalBeerDay #Ready4Change
10 years after promising change, @pmharper wants to abolish the #Senate. Next he'll announce he's growing a beard.
I believe strongly in the presumption of innocence and the right to a strong defence but I also believe survivors.
A woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices is not negotiable. Our #NDP team is proud to #StandForChoice – today, and everyday.
It's the job of the Prime Minister to try and reduce fears of Canadians, instead Harper is trying to fundraise on fear and that's shameful.
Terribly shocked to learn of the shooting at a gay nightclub in Florida. We stand with Orlando and the #LGBT community today & always.
Happy #WorldBeardDay — I've been sporting mine since before I was married & haven’t looked back. —TM #BeardAPartOfIt
“An #NDP government will call an inquiry into murdered & missing Indigenous women.” —Tom Mulcair #IdleNoMore #elxn42
What devastating news. All our love to Manchester and everyone affected by this terrible attack.
Thank you, Vancouver. Together we can chart a new and better course for Canada. —TM
L'injustice et le préjudice à l'égard des immigrants iraniens doit cesser.
The injustice and discrimination against Iranien immigrants must come to an end.

Conservatives have been convicted of cheating in every single election they’ve won. WATCH: youtu.be/kidKZ_UOwXw #cdnpoli
Shocked to learn that veterans have been denied access to a @pmharper event at a Legion Hall. They deserve better from their PM. —TM
When @PMHarper visits the Vatican, I call on him to raise the issue of an apology for the horrors of residential schools. #TRC
Excited that the world has reached a climate change pact. Canada must now move from words to action. #ParisAgreement #COP21
Proud to join Canadians today taking a stand against Harper’s attack on our rights & freedoms. #KillBillC51
Today is the day. I'm asking for your support so that together we can bring change to Ottawa. —TM #IvotedNDP
Tell Stephen Harper: We don’t have to choose between security and our rights: ndp.ca/c51/fb4 #cdnpoli #C51
Proud to be part of this diverse Canadian #COP21 delegation. It is now time to turn words into concrete action. —TM
As a grandfather, it's unbearable to see the image of that little body on a beach. Canada must act. Let’s not wait any longer. –TM #Syria
The NDP family sends our love to for the loss of his sister. Nos pensées sont avec la famille Angus en ce moment difficile.
"An #NDP gov't will call an Inquiry into Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women within the first 100 days." —Tom Mulcair #MMIW #Ready4Change
There is a better choice. Cleaning up Ottawa — once and for all — is just one vote away. #ImVotingNDP #elxn42
Great to see 5 provinces raise their minimum wage today. Let's work together to bring in a $15/hr federal minimum wage. –TM
"Mr. Trudeau, when your advisors tell you two different things, you have to choose one – you can’t say both." - Tom Mulcair #GlobeDebate

We have a proud history of helping families get ahead & living within our means. It’s who we are. #NDP #GlobeDebate
Today we honour the workers who built Canada & the important contributions of #canlab to our country. #LabourDay —TM
Today’s #SCOTUS decision is a resounding victory for equality over discrimination― and an even bigger win for love. #LoveWins #LoveIsLove
Horreur dans une mosquée à Québec. Tenons nous debout avec nos voisins Musulmans contre la haine.
We must confront the increase of Islamophobia. There is no place in Canada for hatred or discrimination of any kind.
The unelected, unaccountable Senate has no place in our modern democracy. We don’t need better Senators, we only need former Senators. —TM
On #December6 we remember the women who were victims of the Polytechnique massacre, a despicable act of violence.
Tonight, I would like to welcome our new Syrian neighbours to Canada: ndp.ca/tom-mulcairs-m #WelcomeRefugees
