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 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!

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.

One last thing I’ll note: Avi Lewis was the only NDP leadership hopeful who spoke some French tonight (though the interviewer was speaking English)
“It is a time of desperation, when fascism is rising,” says NDP leadership hopeful Avi Lewis.
“The seeds are planted in the economic desperation that the system is creating.
We are the only party that can identify the cause of this: the massive concentration of wealth.”
