Joel, Jen et Cheri savent comment remporter des élections difficiles. Lors de leurs mandats respectifs, ils ont mené des combats importants : lancé une enquête publique sur le train léger d'Ottawa, défendu les proches aidants, avancé les droits des personnes LGBTQ et lutté pour des salaires décents.

Joel, Jen, and Cheri know how to win tough elections. And they used their time in office to lead important fights — from winning a public inquiry into Ottawa’s light rails and defending family caregivers, to advancing LGBTQ rights, pay equity, living wages, and reproductive rights.

It’s been a year since the Liberals used Section 107 to squash the CUPW strike, and postal workers are still waiting for a fair deal. I stopped by the commemoration rally in Vancouver today, one of many nationwide.

When workers are under attack, there’s only one thing to do - stand up, strike back!

Sick of status quo politics? Then why not take out an NDP membership so you can vote for @avilewis.ca as the next federal leader?

There’s only 40 days left to become a member so you can vote. Sign up today and join the fight for an NDP we can all be proud to be a part of.

Mark Carney has put a target on BC’s coast—with a plan to dig up Burrard Inlet so tankers can carry even more crude through these waters.

It’s time for a federal NDP leader who will say “no” to Big Oil—and fight to protect the places we love.

Mark Carney a notre côte ouest dans sa mire, avec un projet visant à creuser la Baie Burrard pour permettre aux pétroliers de transporter encore plus de pétrole brut.

Il est temps qu'un leader fédéral du NPD dise non aux grandes pétrolières.

Deeply honoured to have the support of NDP icons @libbydavies.bsky.social and @svendrobinson.bsky.social

Inside and outside parliament, they’ve been trailblazing champions for social justice, from housing and harm reduction to LGBTQ rights and Palestinian liberation.

Campaigns aren’t won by a single candidate. It takes thousands of people coming together and organizing in their communities for the leadership we know we deserve.

So, here are 3 ways you can help make @avilewis.ca the next leader of the federal NDP 👇

We need an alternative to the 5 big banks that make record profits while charging us excessive fees. That's why postal banking is at the heart of our plan to stop price gouging: breaking the dominance of the big banks, strengthening the postal service, & saving you money.

Crunching the numbers on postal banking in Canada - CCPA
Among the many proposals to transform Canada Post, one stands out: postal banking. It’s a program that could contribute to solving multiple policy problems at once—help support our postal service with stable revenue, boost financial inclusion and enhance public services, and, unlike conventional banks that put profit first, create accessible public interest banking services.

Peel and Durham, I’m coming your way! 

It’s time for the NDP to return to its roots: a party of the 99% that fights a system rigged for the rich.

I want to hear your ideas for how we can revive our party and build a government that works for the many, not the money.

As the Liberals push military spending to $150 billion per year, Canadians need a government that shows up where it truly matters.

On December 13th, join me in Toronto for a discussion on how Canada can choose climate action and peace over runaway militarism.

1/ The Prairies gave Canada Medicare. Today, the Alberta government passed a bill to take it away and replace it with American-style, two-tier healthcare, all while Carney looks the other way.

That's not who we are. That's the system our party fought to leave behind.
Unfortunately, after repeatedly using time allocation motions to limit debate, Bill 11 just passed third reading in the legislature.

Last night, 8-month-old Rahaf died of exposure after her family’s tent in Gaza was flooded.

No parent should have to bury their child, yet this horror is the reality for countless Palestinians displaced by Israel’s genocide.

Canada’s complicity must end. Sanction Israel now.

Thank you, @leahgazan.bsky.social! We need a public option for food and groceries to take on the big chains that are gouging us at the till.
People across Canada know that the Liberals’ back door deals with CEOs haven’t made groceries any cheaper.

We need bold responses to price shocks caused by extreme weather and corporate gouging. When will the government act and deliver on a public option for food?

It’s time for the NDP to tell the truth: we must get off fossil fuels fast—with no worker left behind.

Today I’m unveiling our Green New Deal: a plan to tackle both the climate and affordability crises by creating 1M good jobs, lowering bills, and building a new economy.
