Huge shout out to Matthew Green for his brilliant analysis about how to rebuild a strong NDP. Thank you Matthew Green and @mrpeterjulian.bsky.social for the major legwork they’ve done to reignite democracy through their NDP Renewal initiative, something we need now more than ever.

I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now.

He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)
A profound honour to have this endorsement from MP @leahgazan.bsky.social, one of our movement’s strongest and most principled leaders. 

Join the NDP. Let’s win this race — and let’s win a government that serves the many, not the money.

There are over 4,000 evacuees from Pimichikamak as a result of the power failure and government inaction. Many of these folks have been evacuated to Winnipeg Centre and need our support.

I continue to heed Pimichikamak’s call for the federal government to provide assistance from the army to help deal with their state of emergency.

As the ground begins to thaw, frozen untreated sewage will contaminate everything it touches.

After years of chronic under investment by the Liberal government, Pimicikamak cannot possibly address these threats without outside assistance and significant infrastructure investment.

If community members are left to clean up the damage to their homes without PPE or professional support during the community-led recovery, the caseload will only worsen.

We know that water and sewer infrastructure suffered severe damage due to the blackout, and that cases of gastroenteritis are already being reported in the clinic.

The Liberal government claims that Pimicikamak is currently transitioning to a recovery phase. This does not align with the reality on the ground.

The rise of far right extremist violence is a warning sign of the global erosion of human rights and international law. Since Donald Trump’s election, we have seen relentless attacks on DEI initiatives, LGBTQ+ people, faith based communities, and racialized communities.

Homes in Pimichikamak have been severely damaged as a result of pipes freezing and bursting. This includes sewage pipes. Eva Muswaggon shared with me how her house was contaminated with raw sewage after the sewage line froze.

Before the December 28th power outage, Pimichikamak Cree Nation was facing challenges with its water and sewage infrastructure. This issue has been exacerbated since the power outage.

The Liberal government must ensure the dignity and safety of all people of Pimicikimak, whether in the nation itself or with evacuees who end up in Winnipeg.

This should never have occurred. Chief Monias declared a State of Emergency 11 days ago. Today, there are still over 4000 evacuees displaced from their homes. The Liberal government must send in the army now to assist with this crisis.

As the New Year begins and the NDP leadership race ramps up, the central question is not nostalgia. It is renewal. How do we rebuild the NDP so that it is rooted in its history but brave enough to meet this moment? (🧵 1/8)

The Liberals are fast tracking resource extraction projects, ignoring the risks of increased violence against Indigenous women and girls.

This year’s budget devoted nothing for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Why is the government again turning its back on us?
