Today is the 42nd Anniversary of the Canada Health Act, the perfect time for the Liberals to enforce the act and protect public healthcare. But will they?

1/ Le premier ministre @mark-carney.bsky.social et moi-même avons eu aujourd’hui un premier entretien chaleureux et fructueux.

1/ Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and I had a warm and productive first conversation today. I shared the NDP’s concerns about the cost-of-living crisis facing Canadians, including the creepy practice of surveillance pricing.

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root. The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

10 years since the toxic drug emergency, families are still enduring unimaginable loss. These aren't just stats—they are people whose lives mattered. We need the same urgency seen in the 90s: safe supply, barrier-free treatment, and a new Vancouver Agreement. 🎗️ #cdnpoli #bcpoli #HarmReduction

On majority government, cutting through the clutter, and sobbing on the radio (ouch). My conversation with the great Nil Köksal. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Some loving thoughts about my sweet dad from a conversation with the excellent writer Courtney Shea. A little window into my world in the most intense two weeks of my life. torontolife.com/city/avi-lew...

130+ Palestinian grad students admitted to 🇨🇦 universities are trapped in a 23-month limbo. IRCC is demanding biometrics from a war zone—a move that is both unrealistic and unjust. The precedent exists: we did this for Ukraine & Syria. We must do it now. #cdnpoli #Gaza www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust. I also commemorate the survivors, including my late grandmother, Gina Gazan, and my father, Albert Gazan. (1/2)

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...

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.

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

📣University-Rosedale, Scarbourgh-Southwest, and Terrebonne!📣 Today is your FINAL chance to cast your vote for three incredible New Democrat candidates ready to fight for you in Ottawa. Polls are open until 8:30pm ET. Find your voting location at elections.ca Let's make every vote count ✊

Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life. Canadians are already being squeezed by the untenable cost of living. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks.

1/ Today’s the day, folks - it’s by-election day! 3 incredible NDP candidates are running, and if you live in any of these ridings, get out and vote today: University-Rosedale - Serena Purdy Scarborough Southwest - Fatima Shaban Terrebonne - Maxime Beaudoin

If you reside in University-Rosedale or any of the other ridings with by-elections, please remember to get out and vote tomorrow! Historically, voter turnout is very low for by-elections. So your vote matters and counts that much more! Please vote for Serena, please vote! 🗳️

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...

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. 😂

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...

“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...

1/ Le président des États-Unis menace ouvertement de commettre un génocide contre 90 millions de personnes.

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.

Thank you, Premier Eby! I’m looking forward to connecting when I’m back in BC and discussing how we can do big things together to improve the lives of British Columbians.

Merci, Monsieur le Premier ministre. J'ai hâte de vous rencontrer à Ottawa.

Thank you, Prime Minister. I look forward to meeting you in Ottawa.

A pleasure to meet with my friend and political powerhouse Wab Kinew. Look forward to walking our shared path in meeting the needs of working people, from healthcare to the cost of living and the destructive influence of AI.

The NDP family is bursting with talent.  Tanille, Tony, Rob, Heather — each of your incredible campaigns have made our movement so much stronger. Let's get to work and rebuild this party together.

Merci à tous les bénévoles, donateurs, organisatrices et membres du NPD qui ont contribué à faire de ce mouvement un événement historique. Nous jetons les bases d’un nouveau départ et nous sommes prêts à faire un retour en force sur la scène politique canadienne. Ça commence maintenant.

To every volunteer, donor, organizer and NDP member who helped power this history-making movement: thank you. We are building a new foundation for our party, and we are ready to come roaring back on the Canadian political stage. Let’s get to work!

What an exhilarating two days at convention here in Winnipeg! It's been incredible to be among so many dedicated New Democrats who are working to shape the future of our party. Proud to be in this struggle with you all.

Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

Together, we will fling open the doors to the 99% and rebuild the NDP into a political instrument of the people. // Ensemble, nous ouvrirons grand les portes aux 99 % et rebâtirons le NPD comme levier politique du peuple. youtu.be/LorxoMDyhKM?...

Today is the LAST DAY to vote for the next leader of the federal NDP! This campaign has been a blur, a rush & frankly: the time of my life. Cast your vote before 7pm ET & let’s show what can be done when we lead with courage, conviction & real solutions that match the scale of the crises we face.

Today, NDP delegates voted overwhelmingly in favour of a resolution calling on the federal govt to close the loophole that's allowed Canadian-made weapons to be used in human rights abuses abroad — as @jennykwan.bsky.social's Bill C-233 called for. I was proud to speak in favour of the resolution.

1/ What a way to kick off convention weekend in Winnipeg—a final rally that felt like a culmination of all the energy we’ve been building on this campaign since day one. Grateful to the hundreds of supporters in the room, and to special friends for sharing the stage and their words of support.

Congrats, solidarity and thanks for the warm welcome! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Les associations de circonscription sont au cœur du NPD. Honoré de l’appui de quatre en C.-B., en Ontario et au Québec. Elles sont clés pour le renouveau : donner du pouvoir à la base et lui faire confiance. C’est ainsi que nous nous reconstruisons et que nous gagnons.

The heart of the NDP is electoral district associations. I’m honoured to be endorsed by four from B.C., Ontario, and Quebec. EDAs are at the centre of our plan for party renewal. We must empower and trust grassroots members as they support their communities. That’s how we rebuild. It's how we win.

Excited to have hometown hero @leahgazan.bsky.social speak at our event tonight! Join us if you're in Winnipeg for the Convention! avilewis.link/winnipeg

INTERVIEW: Avi Lewis wants to fight fascists, create a national non-profit grocery chain & reinvigorate our political imagination. He’s got a detailed plan for accomplishing these things, and it’s one he thinks will resonate with Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. theindependent.ca/news/lji/int...

Growing our party in Quebec is a top priority if I’m elected as leader. That’s why it’s a joy to be endorsed by two people who can help us do exactly that: Julius Grey and Élaine Michaud. Together, we’ll rebuild and win again by reconnecting with Quebec’s progressive majority.

Si je suis élu chef, le développement du parti au Québec sera une priorité. Je suis fier du soutien de Julius Grey et Élaine Michaud pour nous aider à y parvenir. Ensemble, reconstruisons et renouons avec la majorité progressiste afin de remporter de nouvelles victoires.

BrightDrop electric delivery vans should've been a Canadian success story.  Instead, after $500M in federal investments, GM abandoned the 1000+ @unifor.org Local 88 workers at the plant. I was in Ingersoll recently hearing about how we can save these good, union jobs and Canada's EV future.

The RCMP’s "Native extremism program" is a jaw-dropping betrayal. Wiretaps & secret dossiers were used to target leaders fighting for their rights—not security threats. I’m calling on the Public Safety Minister to release all files & hold public hearings. Accountability now. ⬇️

1/ Chaque avancée majeure dont bénéficient aujourd’hui les travailleuses et travailleurs, qu’il s’agisse de lieux de travail plus sûrs, des fins de semaine ou de salaires plus équitables, a été obtenue parce que les travailleuses et travailleurs se sont battu·e·s pour améliorer leur sort.

1/ Every major gain working people enjoy today, from safer workplaces to weekends and fairer wages, was won because workers organized and fought for better. That tradition of solidarity continues through the work of unions and labour councils across this country.

This Thursday! See you soon, Winnipeg!

1/ Tout au long de l’histoire, les étudiant·e·s et les jeunes ont poussé la société à se montrer à la hauteur de ses idéaux les plus élevés. Sur les campus à travers Canada, les mouvements étudiant·e·s se sont organisés, se sont battus et ont remporté des victoires importantes.

1/ Throughout history, students and young people have pushed society to live up to its highest ideals. On campuses across Canada, student movements have organized, fought and won important battles for accessible education, racial justice, human rights and climate action.
