In a wide-ranging interview with Christo Aivalis, NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis outlines his vision for Canada, advocating bold public ownership, stronger public services, and economic sovereignty. Drawing on his activist background and family legacy, he explains how a democratic socialist approach could reshape the economy and rebuild the party from the ground up.
Good summary.
I will add that, having moved to BC from Manitoba 5 years ago, the BC NDP party shares almost nothing in goals and values with the Ontario/Manitoba Leighton NDP, nor with the east coast union-focused NDP, which was a bit surprising to me.
There is no strong sense of worker rights and union support here, only a mild socialist “vibe”. Makes it pretty difficult to get behind when Eby is trying to go it alone, ignoring the rest of the country.
