Quelle joie d’être soutenu par trois des documentaristes les plus intègres du Canada. Notre riche tradition documentaire doit être chérie et FINACÉE. Des artistes comme Min Sook, Liz et Daniel tissent la confiance, s’ancrent dans les luttes et racontent des histoires avec cœur.

Citation: « Avi Lewis comprend comment le pouvoir façonne les récits que nous voyons et comment les médias indépendants peuvent remettre en question les discours qui normalisent le statu quo. La privatisation et les monopoles dominent le secteur des médias au Canada. Je sais que je peux compter sur Avi pour perturber cette concentration du pouvoir afin que nous puissions construire un paysage médiatique plus critique et plus vivant. »Liz Marshall soutient Avi Lewis pour la chefferie du NPD. Citation : « Nous avons besoin d'un dirigeant élu qui comprend la valeur et l'importance de l'art national canadien et qui se battra pour protéger l'héritage de notre industrie documentaire financée par des fonds publics. Avi sait d'expérience que nos films sont des outils essentiels pour défendre la vérité et la démocratie. »Daniel Cross soutient Avi Lewis pour la chefferie du NPD. Citation : « Il n'y a jamais eu de moment plus important que maintenant pour remobiliser directement les Canadien·nes, raviver notre activisme, défier les grandes fortunes et donner à nos communautés les moyens d'être les bastions d'une politique socialement engagée et concernée. Avi bénéficie clairement du soutien de la communauté documentaire canadienne grâce à son travail acharné, ses excellents résultats et son leadership. »

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I was surprised to learn that 911, the number we automatically call in an emergency, is not available along much of BC's coast. My latest for @thetyee.ca looks at efforts to bring 911 to communities like Bella Coola and why BC needs province-wide oversight of 911. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Trump already wants to give the Pentagon an extra $500 billion in its budget — so much money that officials reportedly don't even know how to spend it. Now they're gearing up to ask Congress for even more billions to fund the war with Iran. Imagine what we could do with that money.

Last week, we held a critical conversation on Canada’s complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Despite the supposed ‘ceasefire,’ Gaza is still being starved, bombed, and invaded by Israel in real time with the support of Canadian-made weaponry.

My full statement on Zohran Mamdani's historic win.
Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York is a beacon of hope and possibility – proof that a people-powered, solutions-focused, democratic socialist campaign can defeat entrenched power in the centre of global wealth. 

His campaign did what so many said was impossible. Despite a tidal wave of corporate spending and a chorus dismissing his ideas as “too radical,” voters gave a huge victory to a candidate who spoke directly to the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in a rigged economy, offering concrete solutions as big as the crises working people face.

Like so many Canadians, I’ve been deeply inspired by Mamdani’s campaign – by the way he built power from the ground up, organizing with working people, tenants, young people and a diverse multiracial coalition long shut out of political power. 

It’s the same energy and vision that’s driving our campaign here in Canada: a politics that takes on concentrated wealth, offers public options where markets fail, makes life much more affordable, and integrates climate solutions into everything we do.

Mamdani’s victory isn’t an outlier — it’s part of a new wave of bottom-up politics. Its lesson is simple: if you fight for people, people fight back with you.

Tonight, New Yorkers showed that politics rooted in justice, dignity, and solidarity can win — and win big. Canadians are hungry for that same courage and clarity.

Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process. Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more. We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law. There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.
