1/ 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.
A graphic of a quote from an article from Jeet Heer in The Nation, titled "Canada’s Left Is in Crisis. Can Avi Lewis Revive It?": "Given the dangers of right-wing populism, Lewis’s bid for leadership of the NDP is not just promising but essential. Only a revitalized Canadian left can offer a future away from the confused morass of Carney’s politics, which promise progressivism while delivering austerity."

The cult of leadership is a failed model. That’s why our campaign made the deliberate choice to launch with bold solutions that address the everyday emergencies facing Canadians. Because this campaign isn’t about Avi — it’s about all of us. This is how we build power and win. #cdnpoli #NDP

I visited Gaza in 2009, just months after the Cast Lead massacre. What I saw then shocked and changed me — and there are no words for what has been destroyed now. We need to end this genocide and dismantle Israel’s apartheid system. My conversation with @smohyeddin.bsky.social.

The NDP must be a political home for every worker – white collar, blue collar, or no collar. That means defending workers’ rights that have been under attack for decades while confronting new threats posed by app-based gig work, AI, and precarious jobs. Our plan → lewisforleader.ca

There's a lot of daylight between the Carney we heard at Davos – calling out the US’s exercise of naked power and shredding the so-called rules-based international order – and the Carney who has repeatedly capitulated to Trump since taking office. My conversation with Ryan Jespersen this morning.

"Je suis honoré d'appuyer Avi Lewis comme chef du NPD fédéral parce qu’il comprend ce qu’exige le moment actuel. Son parcours témoigne d’un engagement profond envers la justice sociale, l'élimination de la pauvreté et la lutte contre l'urgence climatique avec franchise et sans délai. À une époque où le courage se fait rare à Ottawa, nous avons besoin de dirigeants capables de parler franchement de ce que nous dit la science et d’agir en conséquence."

I’m deeply grateful to have the support of David Suzuki. For decades, he’s been a clarion voice on climate, calling on Canada to listen to science, nature, and Indigenous teachings. His fire only burns brighter with time. The hour is late: we need to get to work. Join us: avilewis.link/join
David Suzuki endorses Avi Lewis for NDP Leader. Quote: "Avi Lewis understands what this moment demands. His life’s work reflects a deep commitment to social justice, ending poverty, and confronting the climate emergency with honesty rather than delay. At a time when courage is in short supply in Ottawa, we need leaders willing to speak plainly about what science tells us and act accordingly."
