Why Iโ€™m running for NDP leader
YouTube video by Avi Lewis Why Iโ€™m running for NDP leader

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

Iโ€™m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the richโ€”together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

The former IDF intelligence chief said 50 Palestinians must die for every victim of October 7 and that "it does not matter" if those killed are children, according to leaked audio published by Israel's Channel 12. "They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price," Aharon Haliva said.

Counteracting Campus Precarity | BC Policy Solutions The Counteracting Campus Precarity research project begins from the conviction that for universities to produce the knowledge that can help us confront the most serious social problems of our time, our campuses must be kept clean and safe and our community must have food to eat.

University cleaning and food service workers tend to be unseen and underappreciated at the best of times.

Even worse is many universities contract out this labour to large, for-profit companies.
