Episode Details

New NDP leader Avi Lewis, grandson of former federal NDP leader David Lewis and son of former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, is embarking on a bold political experiment as he takes the helm of the party. Hes calling for deep structural changes to address grinding unfairness in Canada, openly embracing the label of socialism and drawing inspiration from figures like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Despite the NDPs recent election loss, Lewis believes Canadians are hungry for real solutions that only his party can offer. Hes proposed public grocery stores to simplify choices and spoken out against surveillance pricing. With just six MPs in the House, Lewis is rebuilding the party from scratch, aiming to spark a lost sense of purpose in politics and make life in Canada fairer.
