Canadians deserve an NDP that fights for people, not powerful interests. Last election showed we need real change. A rushed leadership race means more of the same.

If you don't have a Toronto Star subscription, here's an archived link of @libbydavies.bsky.social’s op-ed:

Canada must act on its moral and legal obligation to allow Palestinians fleeing genocide to seek refuge within our borders. Our ongoing complicity in these horrors is unconscionable.
No person should be displaced against their will, and the calls coming from both Jerusalem and Washington to rid all of Gaza of Palestinians are patently illegal. But those who choose life-saving refuge, including temporary refuge, also have that right enshrined. Our government’s inaction is a massive ethical failing and a clear violation of obligations under international humanitarian law. These obligations are particularly acute given Canada’s long and ongoing track record of providing military and diplomatic support to Israel, thereby contributing to the horrific conditions that are producing the urgent need for refuge.

This is what change looks like.
Neighbours. Laughing, organizing, showing up for each other.

In Vancouver Centre, we’ll decide who our MP is. Not pollsters. Not Ottawa. Us.

Come be part of it: www.voteavi.ca/volunteer

Dr. Fry is right! Spills like Exxon Valdez WILL happen again.

But, Hedy fails to mention that the oil tanker moratoriums she's bragging about don’t include OUR riding (with English Bay and the Burrard Inlet) where she’s been MP for 32 years.

The Conservative Party flirts with transphobia and residential school denialism. As of now, Aaron Gunn is still running alongside Avi's Conservative Party opponent; 4 others were dropped by the party this week for their indefensible views.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, Vancouver-Centre! 🏳️‍⚧️

Our riding is home to one of Canada’s oldest LGBTQ+ neighborhoods right here in Davie Village, and trans people have always been at the forefront of fighting for justice and equality in Vancouver-Centre and beyond.

With the year-end deadline just days away, this is your chance to fuel this campaign for justice and fairness.

Every contribution—whether it’s $25, $500, or whatever you can—builds the grassroots power we need to win.

Don’t let this moment slip away.

Campaign materials that are so compelling they make you want to donate to Avi Lewis before the end of the year. At the top of the page is the Avi Lewis for Vancouver Centre logo with white text and yellow mountains. Below this it says: With the year-end deadline just days away, this is your chance to fuel this campaign for justice and fairness. Every contribution—whether it’s $25, $500, or whatever you can—builds the grassroots power we need to win. At the bottom of the page is a button that makes you feel like you should just click it, which says Donate Now!

This moment demands..
a movement that puts people first, with real solutions like price caps on food, actually universal pharmacare, and new public housing and co-ops. That’s the fight happening right now in Vancouver Centre, and we need everyone in this battle.

Another great piece of campaign material in the colour orange used by the NDP. At the top there is the Avi Lewis for Vancouver Centre logo in white text and yellow mointains. There is a picture of Avi next to it gesturing with his hand as he speaks at a microphone. Text below this says: This moment demands bold action. It demands a movement that puts people first, with real solutions like price caps on food, actually universal pharmacare, and new public housing and co-ops. That’s the fight happening right now in Vancouver Centre, and we need everyone in this battle.

The government is falling apart: a bombshell resignation of a longstanding finance minister, a collapsing cabinet, and surging costs driving families to the edge. Enough with their theatrics—Canadians deserve better.

Beautiful campaign materials featuring a picture of Avi Lewis holding a microphone next to the logo. At the top of the page is the Avi Lewis for Vancouver Centre logo with white text and yellowish mountains against an NDP orange background. The Trudeau government seems to be collapsing and an election could be called at any moment! Avi needs your help to raise enough money to win in Vancouver Centre.

A hopeful evening connecting with neighbours last night about abuses by big corporations in Canada.

People are fed up and ready to fight back.

We're going out with @avilewis.bsky.social two more nights next week. Come join us!

Tonight, @avilewis.bsky.social and stalwart volunteers are knocking neighbours’ doors in Vancouver Centre. 🚪😀

We’re hearing how big business corruption and collusion (like tater tot price-fixing) is affecting peoples’ pocket books. 💰🥕 🥔

It doesn’t have to be this way!

A foggy start to our canvass in #VanWestEnd tonight. 🌫️

A nice thing about doing politics in walkable 15-minute cities is you’re mostly inside cozy apartment buildings!

Join for our next one?
