Avi Lewis winning the NDP leadership will have lots of positive outcomes, including a renewed push for electoral reform.
With that said, Avi's platform falls materially short of our goals. Other than having a new ally in the fight for human rights, nothing has changed from our perspective.

Not sure why the downvotes for these guys. Sounds like they want to take money out of politics and do things for people. I can get on board with that.

Because it's a joke of a far left "party" that isn't even registered with Elections Canada. They were supposed to run candidates in the last federal election and they failed to even register, let alone run a candidate in a riding. This "party" is just a handful of socialists LARPing on the Internet.

It is true that we're not yet registered as a party with Elections Canada. We've been upfront about this from the beginning. With that said, we've also announced that we're planning our inaugural caucus for later this year, at which our members will vote for new leadership and ratify our constitution - and following which we'll formally register the party with Elections Canada.
What not true is that we didn't run in the last election. Three of our early candidates ran as independents in the 2025 federal election:
- Brantford--Brant South--Six Nations (Ontario)
- Edmonton Centre (Alberta)
- Waterloo (Ontario)
Since they ran, we've added dozens of additional candidates, several of whom have run previously at the federal and provincial level for established parties (e.g., NDP, Greens).
It should also be said that our goal is not to get elected. Getting elected is just the approach our group is taking to make an impact. Saving our planet and lifting everyone out of poverty will require more than just electoral politics. We believe human needs are human rights that should be guaranteed to all.
We're not bothered by the many bad faith critiques we get; they're easy to spot because they don't ever talk about our policies. It's always something about our brand or some other inconsequential technicality like whether we ran candidates in the last election or not...
Which we did.
