Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Our country needs a vision that doesn’t just take the world as it is, but fights for the world we need. Now more than ever, Canada needs the NDP. Our campaign is charting the party's comeback — throwing open its doors to the 99% to build the biggest tent it has ever seen. Cast your ballot today.

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.

I want a leader who is not afraid of taking on difficult discussions that shake up the establishment. Avi has plans for how to do that."Gerry Rogers, former NDP MHA and award-winning documentary filmmaker, endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader: "In this time of uncertainty, confusion, impending crisis globally, Avi speaks with clarity, his analysis is based on principles of peace making, collaboration, deep respect and optimism. With all his passion and compassion, Avi Lewis might just be what the NDP needs right now, what Canada needs right now."

Disability rights are a defining struggle of our time. These leaders have devoted their lives to breaking down barriers and fighting for a society where no one is forced into legislated poverty. I’m grateful for their support and committed to fighting alongside the movement for real justice.

Quote: "I am tired of watching my community of people with disabilities be the one of the first to feel austerity, not even considered in the federal economy.
I am tired of watching people with disabilities choose death because they don’t have the resources they need. I am tired of feeling like those in power would rather wait us out, hoping we all disappear rather than making this land a more equitable and inclusive place to live. I’m endorsing Avi Lewis, because he knows it's time to do things differently, and he lifts up those who have known that all along.”Two endorsement cards featuring Ravi Malhotra endorsing Avi Lewis for NDP leader.

So less #elbowsup and more sacrifice Canada’s sovereignty to determine its own tax policies cause Trump had a tantrum. Didn’t take long for Mark Carney to break his promise to stand up for Canada. The digital tax was duly passed 2 years ago. He should be ashamed he bowed to Trump on this one.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.
This weekend, DHS targeted and seized Mahmoud Khalil as punishment for his political speech, and indicated that they are revoking his green card. They have since handed him over to ICE where he is being detained — his location unknown — and held for deportation without due process. 

This is what fascist governments do, and it will not stop here. This extreme escalation is the test case; the Trump/Musk administration is trying to see how far they can go without public outrage and legal checks on their power. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

This is why Canada needs to keep its supply management system that protects eggs, dairy and beef but Trump claims is an unfair tariff. It has protected small and medium sized farms from being destroyed by mass commercial farms. It’s why we have affordable eggs today and the US does not. #canpoli
