Why I’m running for NDP leader
YouTube video by Avi Lewis
youtu.be
Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.
I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.
We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

Thrilling endorsement for @avilewis.ca from Quebec NDP co-president & movement legend Nimâ Machouf.
Nimâ was watching last night's debate closely, thinking about who can lead the party back in Quebec. Now she's made her choice.

I’m with the 92% of Albertans—including farmers and rural landowners—that expect the oil & gas industry to clean up their spent wells and pipelines. When polluters pay, it creates decades of full-time work for oil & gas workers. So why do Conservatives let them get away with it?
