"The NDP will start winning again because we will become that beacon to the 99 per cent — illuminating the darkening sky of these terrifying times with the energizing light of collectivism." - Avi Lewis

In other words, we win together in solidarity.

To reiterate, Avi Lewis is calling for:
- A national cap on rent.
- A wealth tax on the top 1% (which could produce $40 billion in public revenue).
- Public options for groceries and telecom. There's also talk of public ownership in manufacturing.
- A Green New Deal investing 2% of GDP into climate action (note that the Carney government has raised Canadian military spending to 2% GDP instead, while promising to further raise it to 4%).
- A moratorium on AI data centres over concerns about jobs, privacy, and environmental impact.

A voice for the masses was elected, but the Alberta NDP still wants to bow over to the dying oil industry which is using our government to actively shut down sustainable jobs with billions of dollars in investment and hundreds of millions in shovel ready projects, and can't see anything else for our future.
