To me, being furthest left is a feature, not a bug, of the @avilewis campaign:

“He has also proposed affordability solutions including free public transit and publicly owned grocery stores. That puts Lewis’s politics the furthest left of any candidate, Nelson said. He added that the NDP’s leadership voting system — which asks voters to rank up to five candidates in order of preference — might give less controversial candidates a leg up if Lewis cannot get a majority of first-choice votes.”

Canada has around 28,500,000 registered voters.
The current NDP leadership campaign has raised the number of NDP members from 60K to 100K.
That is around one-third of 1% of registered voters.
Gods but that's depressing. #NDP #cdnpoli

If you are a convention delegate I invite you to rank the resolution "Achieving Proportional Representation" very highly - I will be ranking it number 1. If you are not going to convention but share my concern that we have to deal with this logjam please encourage any delegates you know to rank it highly. Find it in the section "Governing in an inclusive and fair Canada." I want us to hold power, not be always trying to shame or guilt those who have it. #ndp #ndp2026 #PR

Reminder: an ambitious plan to transition from fossil fuels to renewables (like the one linked below) would create over a million good-paying, stable jobs, bring down the cost of energy and help tackle the #ClimateCrisis and the #CostOfLivingCrisis at the same time.

Today, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.

It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.

But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.

Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.

This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.

Disability rights are a defining struggle of our time.

Gary Malkowski, Melissa Graham, and Ravi Malhotra have devoted their lives to breaking down barriers and fighting for a society where no one is forced into legislated poverty.

I’m grateful for their support and committed to fighting alongside the movement for real justice.

Peter Tabuns is a climate leader, a tireless fighter, and a pillar of the Ontario NDP.

Re-elected six times, he’s spent decades fighting for families and environmental justice. His principled advocacy and commitment to his constituents embody the best of the NDP.

I’m grateful for his support.

Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living while those at the top hoard obscene wealth.

We need a government with the courage to tax that wealth and invest it in what we actually need:

Housing. Healthcare. Education. Infrastructure. Good-paying, unionized jobs.

That’s how we build a strong, independent economy that can stand up to Trump and work for all of us.
