With Mark Carney coming out as a true banker, the moment is ripe for left-wing populist Avi Lewis -- who knows the wealth doesn't trickle down. #cdnpoli #canlab #NDP www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Linda McQuaig: With Carney’s budget prioritizing the business elite, could this be Canada’s Mamdani moment?
NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis, like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, openly advocates taxing the rich in order to provide benefits for ordinary people. Now there’s a wild idea.

Carney just tabled a budget that’s firmly on the side of fossil fuel CEOs, not working people. On Nov 17th, join @avilewis.ca and @sethdklein.bsky.social to talk about what real climate leadership would look like and how we can build it together.

Vancouver 2026 Election Watch: OneCity has formally announced they plan to run a mayoral candidate next year, and will hold a primary to choose their candidate.
I'm told their could be multiple candidates announcing in the next week.
Which means no sign of any OneCity-Green-COPE agreement.

Starting this year, landlords of formerly unregulated buildings could raise rents by only half of the inflation rate that exceeds 3%.
For instance, if inflation is at 6%, they may raise rents by only 4.5%.
Beginning in 2028, this rule will apply across the board.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.
All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.
All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.
