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.

I love this so much. Barack Obama sat down with Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a Bronx child care center, reading “Alone and Together,” a book about connection, community, and belonging to preschoolers. Sidebar: Not sure these little-ones knew who Obama was 😂

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.

These former provincial legislators are backing our campaign because they know bold ideas & big organizing are how we win. They share our vision to tackle the cost of living, climate emergency, & inequality. I'm grateful for their confidence as we inspire Canadians in every region & community!

Hey Bill your question is based on false information. You need to also search people’s full name to get the actual picture of their donations. Avi seems to have actually made a total of 146 donations since 2015. Will you issue a correction or do facts not matter in internal #NDP politics anymore?
Graph shows that Avram Lewis (also known as Avi Lewis) made 141 additional donations to the federal NDP central party, ridings and candidates.

Wynne Hartviksen @ndpapparatchic.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
Your information on Avi’s donations is wildly wrong cause you didn’t search his full name. A full review of contributions from Avi (Avram) Lewis indicates he’s made more individual donations than any of the other leadership candidate. Will you issue a correction/apology? #NDP #cdnpoli #bcpoli #bcndp

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.

I’d put money on the fact he had no idea Charles is also the King of Canada. To be fair, neither does anyone at CNN based on their coverage of King Charles’s Speech from the Throne today in Canada. And you figure they have some researchers/reporters who could help em figure it out.

Yeah we’re pretty clear about that. Passed on it when Regan called it Star Wars so why we’d even consider it now is silly and for $61 Billion- well that would bring down our new minority government I think.

Anyone with conspiracy theories about voting needs to spend a day in a polling station. Volunteer as a party scruitineer and find out. For the most part, it’s the dull work of people helping others vote. If something is amiss, scruitineers are there to report and ensure it is resolved. System works.
