The corporate media and NDP centrists are officially rattled.
Avi Lewis is getting the same absurd “divisive” labels Bernie Sanders faced in the US. The pattern is identical: a grassroots campaign gains momentum, and suddenly the attacks begin.
And this talk about his “past activism”? There’s nothing wrong with anything he’s done. It’s just an attempt to create doubt and fear where none exists.
Yeah, China.
“China is offering solar energy to Cuba, an old ally left without power amid the US oil embargo, in a show of strength for Chinese renewable-energy credentials and a sign of Beijing’s economic footprint in Latin America.“
Hopefully US doesn’t blow up the ships.
Tomorrow, join Jess Lyons (President CUPE 5399), Nas Yadollahi (President CUPE 79), Ram Selvarajah (President, Peel Regional Labour Council) and other friends from the labour movement for a powerful session of community building and outreach.
We need an NDP that fights alongside trade unions for an ambitious vision guaranteeing a dignified life for all workers.
In this final week, let’s organize, connect, and turn out every vote.

Here’s just a small sample of the Liberal government's devastating cuts:
- Indigenous Services and Crown-Indigenous Relations
- CBC
- Local Food Infrastructure (community-led food security projects)
- Public health
- Canada’s International Climate Finance Commitment
- CRA, making it harder to go after tax cheats
- Access to Information
All to free up money for unprecedented public spending on weapons and the military.
In other words:
Austerity for programs and services Canadians rely on.
Bottomless money pit for war.
This is not what we voted for.
This is why Canada needs the NDP.

Immigrants are part of the solution, not the problem.
Thanks to Diary Marif for the opportunity to have this important discussion.
Thanks to Matthew Hays at Cult MTL for capturing the energy at our recent Montreal event. The joy and excitement of such a diverse crowd was incredible.
I was delighted to chat about the movement we’re building together: a vision for bold, winnable solutions people are hungry for in Quebec and beyond.

This is it! Join me on March 21 for our final virtual campaign rally before members choose the next leader of the federal NDP on March 28.
It’s going to be an electric online event—with special guests Fred Hahn, Amir Khadir and Leah Gazan, and supporters from across the country coming together for one last push.
Don’t miss the chance to spend an hour with friends and fellow supporters as we build momentum to the finish line.
Honoured to have the support of Sheilagh O’Leary, Lorraine Michael, and Gerry Rogers.
Three remarkable Newfoundland and Labrador New Democrats who have spent their careers fighting for equality and justice, while delivering historic breakthroughs for the province.
I'm proud to have their support.
Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.
This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.
Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living while those at the top hoard obscene wealth.
We need a government with the courage to tax that wealth and invest it in what we actually need:
Housing. Healthcare. Education. Infrastructure. Good-paying, unionized jobs.
That’s how we build a strong, independent economy that can stand up to Trump and work for all of us.
