"For some on the left in Canada, inside or outside the NDP, that boldness may be welcome among those tired of the left having to apologize for itself or hold its tongue while it creeps to the centre.," writes Susan Delacourt. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?... #GiftLink 🎁 #CanPoli

It's official: Port Alberni hosting Sir Wilfrid Laurier Canadian Coast Guard ship for her refit over the next few months.

Canadian Maritime Engineering is doing the work.

It’ll be fun to see her get all spified up! My wife and her family attended the christening and launch of the ship in the 1990s in Collingwood, ON. It was the final ship to be launched from that yard.

Why the surprise that a social democratic party would elect a leader with those values?

Almost like what the people want is not what the rich want. This is a very positive step for #Canada. This is bad news for Carney and the Liberals. Trudeau outflanked the #NDP to the left and won a majority. He lied and got reduced to a minority and finally kicked out. Now the NDP under Lewis are to the left of Carney, who is pretty right-wing himself. If Lewis can present himself well, I hope for another orange surge!

NDP divisions are a sign of a healthy democracy, says new federal leader Avi Lewis | CBC Radio

Newly elected NDP federal leader Avi Lewis takes the helm of a party that lost official status after winning only seven seats in the 2025 general election.

I feel optimistic about @avilewis being the new leader of the NDP. An NDP leader says the word Socialism for the first time since the 1970s. It's also nice to see the mainstream media attacks are highlighting his opposition to pipelines, which nearly all potential NDP voters agree with.
