A baseball card. The front says: Amir Khadir endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader. The back says: "In the current federal political landscape, Avi Lewis embodies the possibility of an NDP that once again spearheads social transformation, acts as a bulwark against the far right, and is a respectful partner for Quebec. For a common anti-imperialist, environmentalist, and solidarity front—to strengthen the hand of those who are fighting everywhere, in Quebec and across Canada—I support Avi Lewis."

Amir Khadir is a hero of the Québec left, one of the founders of Québec solidaire and someone I have admired since our days in the alter-globalization movement.

Canada’s NDP needs a deep and respectful relationship with the left in Québec. Amir’s support is a vital part of building that bridge.

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel.

What’s more:

Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

Toronto! You made this homecoming tour stop a night I’ll cherish forever.

Over 600 people came together around hope, music, and a shared vision for this country. It was cold outside, but you brought the warmth. Thank you!

Baseball cards against a sky background. The first says: Dan Mangan, musician, endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leader. The second has a quote: "I’m supporting Avi because he’s unabashedly outspoken and educated about climate change, affordability and fascism. The left apologizes too often for its ethos in hopes of appearing more centrist. If Mamdani’s campaign can teach us anything, it’s that strong, well-spoken progressive leaders who can hold power to account in an unscripted manner are magnetic."

Truer words Dan! Your support is precious to me. Like so many of your fans, I'm grateful for all the poignant beauty and principled truth in your music. We're building a movement with equal parts moral clarity, grassroots power, and collective joy. You've been writing the soundtrack for years.

Avi Lewis’s NDP Labour Plan Is A Remarkable Document The proposal complements the campaign’s other policy plans in housing, health care and the environment.

"An ambitious and comprehensive blueprint for labour and employment law reform that is forward-looking and unapologetically pro‑worker... Lewis’s plan stands out amid NDP leadership pitches for squarely centring economic democracy.” 

Thanks to Adam King for this comprehensive review.

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency ‘coronapistes’ or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”

Two cards side by side. Left card: Jill Andrew endorses Avi Lewis for NDP Leader. Right card: Group photo and Jill Andrew quote: "I am impressed with Avi's immense passion for community-based, grassroots organizing. He is meeting us where we are at and he listens and that gives me hope! Avi knows we are at a critical moment where platitudes just won't cut it. Only real, people-centred solutions can cut through."

Jill made history as the first Black, queer MPP in Ontario, and she’s fought relentlessly for affordable housing, health care, the arts, and gender & racial justice.

She is a principled, courageous leader who knows how move a room — and a movement. I'm delighted to have her support.

British Columbians will pay to electrify North Coast mining, LNG projects | The Narwhal Energy minister’s order could exempt North Coast transmission line customers from paying millions

B.C. is promoting the North Coast transmission line as a boon for companies such as Ksi Lisims LNG. But providing "cost certainty" for industrial electricity users could mean BC Hydro has to forego millions in revenue — and shift costs to residential customers. thenarwhal.ca/bc-public-to...

Mark Carney Knows the Old World Is Dying. But His New World Isn’t Good Enough. The Canadian prime minister offered a radical analysis of the collapse of the liberal world order. His response to that collapse is unacceptably conservative.
