Last night's event in Ottawa was electric. More than 800 people in the warm and resonant Dominion-Chalmers Centre.

We're bringing New Democrats together, building the vision, strategy, and ground game for the next election.

Voting begins on March 9. Don't delay. Help us finish strong in Winnipeg.

The cult of leadership is a failed model.

That’s why our campaign made the deliberate choice to launch with bold solutions that address the everyday emergencies facing Canadians.

Because this campaign isn’t about Avi — it’s about all of us. This is how we build power and win.

I visited Gaza in 2009, just months after the Cast Lead massacre. What I saw then shocked and changed me — and there are no words for what has been destroyed now.

We need to end this genocide and dismantle Israel’s apartheid system.

Just 3 days left to buy a membership and vote for the next leader of the NDP! 

Something special is taking shape: sold-out town halls, waves of moving endorsements, thousands of volunteers, and countless conversations. Don’t just watch from the sidelines.

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.

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!

How thrilling to be endorsed by a group of authors whose work goes so wide and deep - into the past and future, into ourselves and societies.

We need art and culture in our politics! These storytellers help us understand and imagine the world we need to build together.

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.

Avi Lewis asks bankers on Bay Street if it’s time for a wealth tax
Avi Lewis asks bankers on Bay Street if it’s time for a wealth tax YouTube video by Avi Lewis

Canada's big six banks made $70 billion in profits last year on the backs of working people.

So I went to Bay Street to ask bankers whether it’s time for a wealth tax.

If you agree, become a member of the NDP and let’s fight for it together: avilewis.link/join

NDP leadership hopeful @avilewis.ca wants to take some big swings.

But can his optimism and belief in huge progressive change overcome Canadian cynicism?

Today on Bubble Pop, we discussed all that and more (including photo evidence of his time with MuchMusic).

Here's a sneak peek:

Winnipeg, thank you!

From residents at Old Grace Co-op to labour leaders, faith communities, and a powerful night with supporters, this stop was about solutions, solidarity, and strength.

Grateful for every conversation and for the momentum growing here. Onward.

Le logement est devenu le terrain de jeu des riches.

Les propriétaires immobiliers et les investisseurs immobiliers tirent d'énormes profits de la spéculation, tandis que trop de gens sont écrasés par le coût du logement.

Housing in Canada has become a playground for the rich.

Corporate landlords and real estate investors make massive profits off speculation while too many people are crushed by the costs of keeping a roof over their heads.

Why I'm supporting Avi Lewis My thoughts on the NDP leadership race

The NDP needs rebuilding and renewal, and Avi Lewis is its best hope at both. I'll be voting for him enthusiastically in March and I strongly encourage everyone to do the same.

"Je suis honoré d'appuyer Avi Lewis comme chef du NPD fédéral parce qu’il comprend ce qu’exige le moment actuel. Son parcours témoigne d’un engagement profond envers la justice sociale, l'élimination de la pauvreté et la lutte contre l'urgence climatique avec franchise et sans délai. À une époque où le courage se fait rare à Ottawa, nous avons besoin de dirigeants capables de parler franchement de ce que nous dit la science et d’agir en conséquence."

David Suzuki endorses Avi Lewis for NDP Leader. Quote: "Avi Lewis understands what this moment demands. His life’s work reflects a deep commitment to social justice, ending poverty, and confronting the climate emergency with honesty rather than delay. At a time when courage is in short supply in Ottawa, we need leaders willing to speak plainly about what science tells us and act accordingly."

I’m deeply grateful to have the support of David Suzuki. For decades, he’s been a clarion voice on climate, calling on Canada to listen to science, nature, and Indigenous teachings. His fire only burns brighter with time. The hour is late: we need to get to work.
