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.

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

Yes, there are democratic debates among New Democrats - the clue is in the name!
In a vast country with many regions and interests, it’s the job of the federal NDP to offer an inspiring national vision that unites us as a party of the 99%.
That’s how we build the biggest tent and win.

. @votetanille.bsky.social's Indigenous reconciliation and empowerment plan is a powerful, inspiring document.
It’s a vision rooted in the deep ground of First Nations, Inuit and Métis rights.

We in the NDP can’t lose sight of Indigenous issues.
Our plan would:
☑️Close the infrastructure gap on First Nations
☑️Uphold the principles of free prior and informed consent
☑️ Deliver funding for community policing
☑️ Fully fund Jordan’s Principle
