A Deep(ish) Dive into the Federal NDP Leadership Fundraising Numbers

AvI Lewis has raised more money than all the other candidates combined, but he's done so by relying more on small donations than his two main rivals.

The Orchard

Amid a cost of living crisis and the rise of the far-right, the path forward for the NDP has never been clearer.

We need a third party putting forward the real solutions people need that neither the Liberals nor Conservatives are offering.

Thanks to Jeet Heer for this great piece on our campaign. Read it here: https://thenation.com/article/world/avi-lewis-ndp-canada-mark-carney/

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.

NDP’s Avi Lewis Hit With Absurd Bernie-Style Media Attacks As Leadership Vote Nears End

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.

China to help Cuba with solar energy amid US oil blockade and total power outage

Beijing will ‘intensify its support’ to Havana after around 10.9 million people were left without power amid an ongoing energy crisis.

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.

To chop spending, Ottawa will cut science, tourism, foreign aid programs

While 40 departments will collectively spend $23 billion more next year, another 85 departments will spend $31 billion less in 2026-27.

Immigrants are part of the solution, not the problem.
