So far there's some evidence he exists.never heard of him.
Which is more than you can say for the NDP.
Yeah, unsurprising. Me neither, & he’s been the National NDP leader for almost a day now, & his wife is Naomi Klein. The couple are known more for what they’re against than what they’re for it seems. Avi Lewis has never held elective office — running federally for the NDP in British Columbia in 2021 and 2025, and finishing third both times — so he was the clear favourite heading into this weekend’s leadership convention in Winnipeg.

'Equity cards' arguments take over NDP Leadership Convention: 'CANADA IS COOKED'

As you already know, the New Democrat Party over the weekend elected a new leader in Avi Lewis.
But prior to him stepping into Jagmeet Singh’s Gucci loafers, there were some other events that took place during the NDP Leadership Convention in Winnipeg.
Equity cards were handed out to delegates based on identity categories including gender, race and ethnicity, LGBTQ+ and Indigenous status, and those cards — in various colours such as pink, yellow and green — allowed them to jump the line to ensure equitable representation in debates.
However, instead of debating on issues such as the cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, the health-care system, or crime, the delegates with their equity cards seemed more interested in conveying why they were holding said cards.
Videos posted of disagreements
One video posted to social media shows a person holding up their green gender equity card, claiming to be next to speak, while another woman responded holding up her pink race equity card, noting that it had been previously used inappropriately and that cards for people who identify as Black women “have no value outside of this space.”
Videos of individuals arguing over the misuse of the colour-coded cards, the pro/con speaking order, and the clash of hierarchy between the different groups sparked frustration among attendees and those who wanted to discuss and debate the real issues that are affecting all Canadians.
The speaker didn’t help with moderating the more frivolous battles.
In one instance, one delegate gained applause after making an impassioned speech against involvement in the war in Iran.
However, the speaker was cheered on after she reprimanded the delegate for misgendering the speaker, who identifies as “non-binary.”
The general consensus online seemed to be of disbelief that the videos from the convention were not satire nor clips from Saturday Night Live.
“Arguing who gets the most privilege is next level,” one person wrote. “As a Canadian I am embarrassed.”
A second user commented: “Canada is cooked,” while another added, “what a complete farce.”
While some defended the cards system, there were others who admitted how “performative” this would appear to the average person.
Then there were those who couldn’t believe how the NDP has changed.
“Went from the party promoting health care and workers’ rights to promoting bulls*** the common person does not relate with,” one person wrote on Reddit.
A second person wrote: “That’s literally it. Instead it’s a club of people that never wants to say ‘no’ or ‘that idea is stupid’ to each other.”
A third user agreed: “This. It’s an absolute nightmare working in a group with people like this. Positivity is a nice character trait, sure. But praising every idea out of fear of offending gets you nowhere but to the lowest common denominator, which is where the federal NDP has been heading for a while.”

'Equity cards' arguments take over NDP Leadership Convention: 'CANADA IS COOKED'

Anti-a lot of things. It’s their “identity.”
Yeah…& they want their turn at federal governance.
It’s worse than any student representative council in an elementary school.
Unfortunately, they exist. Our riding has the sad misfortune to have one of the 6 representing us.
Jew hater like most of the leftards. They still think Jews control the world money supply.
It seems that Big Labour has completely and officially lost control of the NDP. The next round of provincial elections will be interesting. Will our unions still be asking us to support a party that is obviously against workers? In BC and Alberta, at least, the provincial parties are almost as far left, and against real jobs. Probably because the same group has infiltrated the farm league as well. Or will there be a clear split between the provincial(farm teams) and the federal party?

Twice in the last two weeks, an action by the federal NDP has spurred a flurry of viral social media posts and coverage in foreign media.
The first was a series of video segments from the NDP’s Winnipeg AGM in which delegates can be seen bickering over “equity cards”; literal cards that mete out priority access based on the holder’s various racial or sexual identities.
And then, just this week, it was a press conference in which NDP MP Leah Gazan condemned the Carney government’s failure to fund “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.”

The string of letters is the updated version of what used to be cited as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). Although the term was coined to point to a very specific crisis of Indigenous women being murdered at outsized rates, activists have expanded the acronym to include every conceivable sexual and trans identity in addition to women, including “two spirit” (2S) and “questioning” (the second Q).

It was very embarrassing to all of Canada. Especially bad for the unions that have been propping up the NDP for decades. All of a sudden, their party of conviction is out to destroy most non government jobs, and whole industries.
Big labour ran into public sector unions and the public sector won . NDP have been the property of CUPE for years .
