Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root.

The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

10 years since the toxic drug emergency, families are still enduring unimaginable loss. These aren't just stats—they are people whose lives mattered.

We need the same urgency seen in the 90s: safe supply, barrier-free treatment, and a new Vancouver Agreement. 🎗️ #cdnpoli #bcpoli #HarmReduction

On majority government, cutting through the clutter, and sobbing on the radio (ouch).

My conversation with the great Nil Köksal.

130+ Palestinian grad students admitted to 🇨🇦 universities are trapped in a 23-month limbo. IRCC is demanding biometrics from a war zone—a move that is both unrealistic and unjust.

The precedent exists: we did this for Ukraine & Syria. We must do it now. #cdnpoli #Gaza

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust. I also commemorate the survivors, including my late grandmother, Gina Gazan, and my father, Albert Gazan. (1/2)

Grocery giants just can’t help themselves.

Underweight meat. Overweight profits.

A public option for groceries is overdue.

Carney temporarily suspending federal fuel excise tax on gas, diesel and aviation fuel | CBC News A day after sweeping three byelections in Ontario and Quebec that gave him a majority in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is temporarily removing the federal excise tax on gas ...

It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest.

www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

Corporations have found a creepy new way to rip you off. It's called "surveillance pricing" and it's coming for all of us at the checkout if we don't stop it.

This makes me so happy.
Eric is the best!

Very happy that Eric the email writer will be sticking with the @avilewis.ca communications team. Never before have I actually looked forward to receiving fundraising messages from a politician. No fake fundraising deadlines — just smart and engaging messages! Another (email) world is possible. 😂

4/ US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

3/ Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

2/ Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.

Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.

Lebanon death toll surpasses 200 after Israel launches assault despite U.S.-Iran ceasefire | CBC News A wave of Israeli airstrikes swept across Lebanon on Wednesday, leaving at least 112 dead and hundreds wounded, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

2/ Premier ministre Carney, s’il n'y a jamais eu un moment pour dénoncer cette guerre illégale, retirer votre soutien et exiger que les responsables de crimes de guerre rendent des comptes, c’est maintenant qu'il faut le faire.

However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Thank you, Claudia! The future of our party is bright, and I look forward to working together to get more New Democrats elected in Nova Scotia.

Thank you, Marit! And thank you for the tireless work you do holding Doug Ford’s government to account. I’m looking forward to doing anything I can to help get more New Democrats elected in Ontario.
