NDP leader Avi Lewis writes about the legacy of his father, Stephen Lewis, who died less than 48 hours after Avi was elected

"Ai For All" Declares Mark Carney. Avi Lewis Pushes Back youtu.be/95KZlMa_zIY?...

Corporations have found a creepy new way to rip you off. It's called "surveillance pricing" and it's coming for all of us at the checkout if we don't stop it. Add your name and help stop retailers from price-gouging us with the help of Big Tech: ndp.ca/surveillance-pricing

One of my first journalism jobs on the Hill (to be fair, like eight years ago) saw me regularly attending and documenting committees, like I'm talking writing notes on EVERYTHING that happened four days of the week. You'd be surprised how well MPs can sometimes work together to improve legislation.

Grocery giants just can’t help themselves. Underweight meat. Overweight profits. Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off. A public option for groceries is overdue. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

I don't think it's ethical to build a majority government through floor crossings and I think democracy works better when we have minority governments with opposition MPs working together to best reflect the interests of Canadians who voted them in and scrutinizing legislation

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

art of the deal

could probably win a whole election on this issue alone

eminently smart politicking from Avi here. either he gets a policy win (good) or he gets to start an important fight and put Carney on the bad guys side (good).

NDP Leader Avi Lewis calls on the Liberal government to ban algorithmic pricing

Carney wants to destroy the working class www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Not sure Liberals are mentally prepared for the derision and mockery that is going to be headed their way if they try to ban high schoolers from multiplayer video games and YouTube

Friends, here’s the info for my Dad’s memorial. Please do RSVP here (and you can register for livestreaming too). www.bit.ly/honouringste...

Canada’s left-leaning New Democratic Party has elected a new leader, Avi Lewis, whose campaign drew comparisons to the politics and style of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani.

Excellent breakdown from @alexboulerice.bsky.social at the Liberal convention He's right: Conservatives are with Carney because he's a Conservative himself

Very happy that Eric the email writer will be sticking with the @avilewis.ca communications team. Never before have I actually looked forward to receiving fundraising messages from a politician. No fake fundraising deadlines — just smart and engaging messages! Another (email) world is possible. 😂

It turns out, we just had to adopt the Conservative platform and now we all get along great.

He just admitted the Liberals lied to Canadians in the last election

Christo Aivalis: "...the Liberals DO have values, namely the empowerment of the capitalist class. All other things are up for negotiation and compromise. This is why the Liberals are rebuilding the anti-abortion wing of their party."

I would amend this hed to say 'open bigotry'. It has always been there, just closeted: Carney’s ‘big tent’ makes room for bigotry By welcoming Marilyn Gladu into its ranks, Mark Carney tests how much Liberal voters will accept to hold and expand power ricochet.media/politics/car...

Mark Carney mocked an Indigenous woman dying of mercury poisoning at a press conference and got so angry that we asked him to apologize that he cut all funds to MMIWG. A hammer 🔨 video is not that far of a leap.

More Canadaland subreddit drama One of the new r/canadaland moderators alleges Jesse Brown is trying to dox them now too:

Liberals before Gladu crossed: "parties don't matter, we only elect MPs as individuals" Liberals after Gladu crossed: "She as an individual doesn't matter, she'll do what the party says"

My newest article for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social Carney’s ‘big tent’ makes room for bigotry "This is something people must remember when the next election rolls around: The Avi Lewis NDP is the only alternative to both Poilievre and the Gladu-Carney coalition" ricochet.media/politics/car...

Here's her posting a doctored photo of her political opponents with a strap on

Did you know there’s a Liberal MP who supported the convoy, spread misinformation about vaccines and more? Well, Carney seems to trust Marilyn Gladu to betray many of the things she previously claimed to believe — but do Canadians? Well, I got some clips together. Here’s Marilyn, in her own words:

Carney's cutting science spending, including the development of a Canadian-made lunar rover module. Wonder if he mentioned that on the call.

Melania’s press conference today:

When journalists ask questions like this, do they hear themselves? It is an ideological position they're promoting. They surely must see this.

Anne-Marie Mediwake: [Your policies] seem very antithetical to where the country is now Avi Lewis: I'm not sure about that .. the market is failing to provide housing for people that they can afford, food for people that they can afford ... Canadians need a progressive alternative

I wrote about Avi Lewis and the NDP for Americans who are wondering if Canada is on the path to socialism. TL;DR: We are closer to being on the path to socialism than we were two weeks ago! truthout.org/articles/in-...

In 2016, now Liberal MP Marilyn Gladu praised Donald Trump for having “restored freedom of speech to America”

“Let those truckers roll 10-4” Liberal MP Marilyn Gladu promoted the Freedom Convoy’s GoFundMe fundraising campaign in the lead-up to the occupation of Ottawa

Carney is being asked whether *any* politician is welcome in the Liberal caucus and he’s basically saying yes. There’s no line in the sand — as long as they tell *him* they support Liberal values, they’re welcome to the Liberal Party to grow his majority power. Yikes.

If Poilievre just pinky squared not to attack abortion, no one would believe him The new Gladu-Carney alliance is equally untrustworthy

1/ Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date. Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

C’est maintenant limpide avec la députée de Sarnia-Lampton qui décide de se rallier au government Libéral: nous avons un government progressiste conservateur et une opposition Érable MAGA à Ottawa. Il y a seulement une alternative pour la majorité progressiste au QC et au Canada, le NPD 🧡🫶 #qcpol

"Marilyn Gladu voted against the ban on conversion therapy. She’s publicly questioned trans inclusion in women’s spaces. She’s backed policies that make life harder for immigrants, for low-income parents, ..." www.thesarniajournal.ca/columnists/n...

Jumpscare to find my own byline on a story I forgot I wrote while researching all the wild shit Marilyn Gladu has said and done over the years lmao globalnews.ca/news/8360423...

It’s now crystal clear, with the MP for Sarnia–Lambton deciding to side with the Liberal government: we have a progressive-conservative government and a Maple MAGA opposition in Ottawa. There is only one alternative for the progressive majority in Quebec and across Canada — the NDP 🧡🫶 #cdnpoli

“We are seeing more evidence every day that Mark Carney is a conservative, and that there are now two conservative parties in the House of Commons.” Read my full statement on MP Gladu’s floor crossing here: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-sta...

Is Carney a homophobe who supports 'conversion therapy'? Does he oppose a woman's right to an abortion? Does he oppose basic vaccine science? Canadians can how seriously wonder after the Gladu crossing

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Terrible response

Mark Carney and Canada's Liberal Party endorsed the initiation of this war
