Last week's court decision on single use plastics was a big win for the environment.🥤
But let's be clear: this is just the start.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

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.

At a moment where we are seeing threats to human rights and international law just south of the border, leadership matters. We need a NDP leader who will defend justice, dignity, and peace.

You have to buy a membership by January 28 to vote for Avi.
