Bullshit Charlie. Avi is speaking for many of us who are appalled at Carney's massive increase in military spending. Politics is about priorities...health care, environment, fighting inequality. Not bombs. Canada should be an independent voice for peace and global justice, outside NATO.

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · last wk.Canada is in a deadly serious moment unlike anything we have seen in a century. We need political leaders to offer a vision of how respond to the threat while offering ways that our nation can move forward. Claiming that the PM's priority is supporting Trump's war machine is a total falsehood.

I'm honoured to have the support of six amazing climate leaders from across the country and around the world. Climate impacts are stealing lives, costing billions, and only getting more intense. Our politics needs an injection of urgency: a climate emergency plan. A Green New Deal.
Great news, a powerful endorsement from a respected trailblazer! ❤️
Avi Lewis@avilewis.ca · 7mo agoA profound honour to have this endorsement from MP @leahgazan.bsky.social, one of our movement’s strongest and most principled leaders. Join the NDP. Let’s win this race — and let’s win a government that serves the many, not the money. https://avilewis.link/join
I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now. He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)
