Why I’m running for NDP leader
YouTube video by Avi Lewis

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.

This Remembrance Day, let us pause to remember all who perished in war and honour them by recommitting to peace.
Together, may we build a world where working people are never again treated as cannon fodder for power or profit.

There’s a culture of politics in Winnipeg that is so beautiful and so powerful, because it’s grounded in the fundamental notion that every single life is precious and worth fighting for.
That’s what I see in Winnipeg Centre, and that’s the kind of NDP our campaign wants to rebuild. #cdnpoli

Indigenous Veterans Day was established in Winnipeg more than twenty years ago to honour the service of Indigenous veterans who made great sacrifices but were denied the same care, and respect as non-Indigenous veterans.
We must ensure that Indigenous veterans live with the dignity they deserve.

New Yorkers just proved bold socialist ideas can win. Ottawa just proposed the most harmful climate and care budget since Harper.

This past week: 24 hours in Edmonton that reminded me why I love this work. Presser with CLC and Alberta Fed of Labour, connected with AUPE's new president on care work and climate, met the Mayor on his first day, and visited teachers fighting for public education. The energy was incredible!

The fire of struggle burns so bright in Sandra. We met in the Care Work is Climate Work coalition convened by The Leap in 2019: now she’s president of the biggest union in Alberta.
I’m proud to call Sandra mi compańera de lucha!

Very honoured that Edmonton’s new mayor @andrewknack.bsky.social made time to meet on his first day in office!
Here’s to progressives getting massively outspent by big money interests, and winning with solutions for the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

How can the NDP reconnect with voters?
Scrap the focus-tested messaging. Communicate directly with passion and substance. And start advocating for solutions as big as the crises we face in ways people can understand.

1/ The attack on Alberta teachers by Danielle Smith may be sadly predictable - it’s also (obviously) unconstitutional and unacceptable.
It has nothing to do with students or improving the state of education in Alberta.
