I spoke to the Christian Science Monitor about my song of solidarity for the resistors of Minneapolis www.csmonitor.com/USA/2026/013...

Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now. Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine. dub.sh/cfwOL

Instead of punching down at hardworking newcomers, we need to tax the rich and fully fund the universal public healthcare system that everyone in Canada deserves.

This is classic scapegoating — blaming refugees for a healthcare crisis caused by decades of underfunding and privatization. 
 These charges are cruel and punitive. We won’t fix a broken system by putting up new barriers for people who are already struggling.

We can't lecture the world about shredding the international rules-based order and then pal around with the people who have been shredding it before our very eyes for the last 2 years - not to mention all the decades of occupation and apartheid that preceded this horrific moment.

You want to see this.

WE WON. Celebratory gathering at 5pm @ Pattison HQ, to unpack our victory and next steps. Hootsuite ICE protest is ON as planned at 3pm, let’s crank up the heat🧊

Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me! This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.

If you want an Ndp that is serious about fighting corporate greed, making life more affordable for working people, then you need to become a voting Ndp member today. act.ndp.ca/donate/membe...?

Truer words Dan! Your support is precious to me. Like so many of your fans, I'm grateful for all the poignant beauty and principled truth in your music. We're building a movement with equal parts moral clarity, grassroots power, and collective joy. You've been writing the soundtrack for years.

Toronto! You made this homecoming tour stop a night I’ll cherish forever. Over 600 people came together around hope, music, and a shared vision for this country. It was cold outside, but you brought the warmth. Thank you!  Be part of what we’re building. Join us: https://avilewis.link/join

Amir Khadir is a hero of the Québec left, one of the founders of Québec solidaire and someone I have admired since our days in the alter-globalization movement. Canada’s NDP needs a deep and respectful relationship with the left in Québec. Amir’s support is a vital part of building that bridge.

miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fi... Avi Lewis committed to “ending approvals for new fossil fuel infrastructure,” and shared his road map for getting there. Note: To be eligible to vote in the NDP leadership race, you must become a member by January 28th. Click here to register if you haven’t yet!

⏰ 4 days left! We're building a movement of movements that's been inspiring people across Canada. Don't miss your chance to be a part of it! You must become an NDP member by Jan 28th if you want to have a say over its next leader. Join today: https://avilewis.link/join

Earlier this week, the BC Climate Emergency Campaign released its annual Progress Report on the BC gvt's progress (or lack thereof) on taking 10 urgent actions to confront the climate crisis... The news release is here: bcclimateemergency.ca/press-releas...

Fascinating symposium by Hogans Alley Society on expo lands/viaducts where we discussed Market challenges, speculation,historic and ongoing displacement, culturally informed housing, reducing barriers, spaces of belonging, community care, cultural redress and how delaying this magnifies inequities

It is important that Canadians understand that American money and influence is being poured into Alberta politics and has been for a long time.

Obviously I'm biased but Avi's campaign is on fire. Folks are realizing that we can have a national party that represents our values, weaves our movements together and - for starters - pushes Carney to do way better on climate, housing, healthcare, Palestine. act.lewisforleader.ca/become-an-nd...

Congratulations! I’m envious.

It was a pleasure chatting with Lance from The Serfs! We talked a lot about Heated Rivalry — and, oh yeah, also affordability, public options, a wealth tax, Palestine, worker power, electoral reform, GLBI, housing & why joining the NDP matters. Normal interview stuff! Watch: youtu.be/nA0zu6Rz1q4

Canada needs a new leader willing to break the elite consensus that unconditional support for Israel is the only acceptable option. That’s why I’m running to lead the NDP. Watch my full remarks from last night’s @cjpme.org debate on Palestine: www.youtube.com/live/cD-on4Y...

The NDP must be a political home for every worker – white collar, blue collar, or no collar. That means defending workers’ rights that have been under attack for decades while confronting new threats posed by app-based gig work, AI, and precarious jobs. Our plan → https://lewisforleader.ca/

@kwardvancouver.bsky.social has become houseless in the past week. she is an incredible and badass human who has given so much life to movements rooted in care especially in the dtes. she could really use some financial support while she’s in this volatile spot. etransfer: [email protected]

I’m glad we’re finally talking about these things

So, join me. Please make sure your NDP membership is up-to-date. And please make time before Jan 28 to encourage friends and family to do the same. Go check-out and explore the campaign website: lewisforleader.ca. It will inspire you...

There are only 7 days left to join the NDP to vote in the leadership race. Don’t take it from me. Take it from the thousands who’ve joined this movement: we're building something big here. For the many, not the money! Join by Jan 28 and help shape what comes next: https://avilewis.link/join

Haha right

The National Post is a Trojan Horse.

There's a lot of daylight between the Carney we heard at Davos – calling out the US’s exercise of naked power and shredding the so-called rules-based international order – and the Carney who has repeatedly capitulated to Trump since taking office. My conversation with Ryan Jespersen this morning.

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership. After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say. Only members can vote for leader. link below:

We must push our officials to do better. That’s OUR part of the deal.

That’s how this movement is being built

Agreed it’s troubling.

When one person I admire greatly endorses another that I admire greatly, I take notice.

City of Vancouver has not been paying all workers a living wage, which pushes rising costs onto its lower-paid workers. City Council should lead by example and pay workers enough to afford Vancouver. Sign up to support @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social ’s upcoming motion on Wednesday.

Toronto! This is going to be big! On Jan 24, we're coming to Lee's Palace for our final “All Out for Avi” stop before the membership deadline. Town hall meets concert — with local musicians, special guests, big ideas & space to organize together. Bring a friend. RSVP: avilewis.link/toronto-town...

Justice for Myles Gray

This is so good!

3/ Appeasing Trump does nothing except embolden him. Canada should be in coalition talks with countries around the world who are being targeted or are outraged by US impunity. We are always stronger together.

I published This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate in 2014. Lots of serious people explained that we didn't have time to tackle capitalism, climate was too important. Let the market fix it for us. The track record is 12 wasted years and a world on fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/c...

Good piece here by @andrewsimms.bsky.social 👇 Why do we allow a fossil fuel corp like Petro Canada to serve as Canada's lead sponsor/advertiser of the Winter Olympics, when that company wishes ill for some of 🇨🇦's defining national sports? theecologist.org/2026/jan/18/...

Today we launched our 2025 Climate Action Progress Report, evaluating the #BCgov. The result? 8 failing grades, and 2 grades of minor progress. The worst outcome in 4 years. FULL REPORT: bcclimateemergency.ca/progress-rep... @cape-bc.bsky.social @myseatosky.bsky.social @ubcic.bsky.social

This is pretty funny (and also a cautionary tale for others!). Good catch sis 😀 👇

There’s an impressive six!
