Why I’m running for NDP leader
YouTube video by Avi Lewis

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.
I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.
We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

As part of his bold new vision for Canada, Avi Lewis, the progressive vying to lead the New Democratic Party, has proposed a series of "public options" for everything from groceries to telecoms to banking to address the nation's cost-of-living crisis.
NDP Candidate Avi Lewis Calls for 'Public Options' to Fight High Costs of Groceries, Housing, and Telecoms in Canada
“When people are being gouged at the checkout aisle, on their phone bills, and in their rents, it’s clear that the market is failing,” Lewis said.

It's time to take the power back from the price-fixing corporate cartels that have a stranglehold on our economy and put it in the hands of the people.

We could live in a country where we reduce our energy bills, clean our air and water, revitalize our communities, take back our energy sovereignty, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process.
The secret? Public ownership.

Public options are key for solving the affordability crisis, an essential ingredient of antifascist economic policy. @avilewis.ca is bringing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.socials winning playbook to Canada. It’s a global movement. The NDP could play an important part.

I’m with the 92% of Albertans—including farmers and rural landowners—that expect the oil & gas industry to clean up their spent wells and pipelines. When polluters pay, it creates decades of full-time work for oil & gas workers. So why do Conservatives let them get away with it?

We cannot let workers pay the price for getting Canada off oil & gas — and as NDP leader, I’ll ensure they don’t.
It’s Big Oil that’s sucked billions of dollars out of the ground in this country, and it’s Big Oil that must pay the price of getting us out of the mess that they've created for us all.

Today is National Housing Day. I write this from Vancouver, one of Canada’s wealthiest cities, and where homelessness reached an all-time high this year.
It wasn’t always this way. Canada has a massive deficit of affordable public housing, ever since Liberal governments slashed funding in the 90s.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.
We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.
