To every volunteer, donor, organizer and NDP member who helped power this history-making movement: thank you.
We are building a new foundation for our party, and we are ready to come roaring back on the Canadian political stage. Let’s get to work!
Today’s announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby.

If this government truly wants to chart a path forward for our country, it must do so hand in hand with Canadian workers.
From NDP Leader Avi Lewis's address to delegates at the Canadian Labour Congress convention.
It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.
That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.
We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.

Il est temps de construire des logements abordables, un réseau national d’épiceries publiques, des autobus électriques et un réseau d’énergie propre est-ouest. Pas d’immenses centres de données d’IA construits par des entreprises sans aucun débat démocratique.
C’est pourquoi nous demandons un moratoire immédiat sur la construction de tout nouveau centre de données d’IA jusqu’à ce que des garde-fous fédéraux solides soient en place.
Nous ne pouvons pas rester les bras croisés et laisser les milliardaires des grandes entreprises technologiques décider de notre avenir.

It was a pleasure to have Federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis, MP Leah Gazan and Minister Tracy Schmidt, right here in my constituency - Burrows, for a town hall organized by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. I thank everyone for the meaningful conversations to protect and strengthen public service.
PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry).
The benefits will be real: for a handful of companies with already-bloated profits.
The costs will be real too: a rising tide of economic and ecological disaster that sinks all boats.
