NDP Candidate Avi Lewis Calls for ‘Public Options’ to Fight High Costs of Groceries, Housing, and Telecoms in Canada
By Stephen Prager
November 24, 2025

Introduction:

(Common Dreams) As Avi Lewis moves forward with his bid to become the next leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, the progressive activist, filmmaker, and journalist, announced his first major policy proposal on Monday: an array of “public options” for groceries, housing, phone bills, and other necessities aimed at combating Canada’s cost-of-living crisis.

After two failed parliamentary bids in 2021 and 2025, the Vancouver-based Lewis in September launched his bid to take Canada’s leftmost party in a more economically populist direction following a series of defeats under its long-serving, Jagmeet Singh.

He hopes his laser focus on corporate greed, which he says is driving Canada’s cost-of-living crisis, will help set him apart from other front-runners, including Edmonton Member of Parliament Heather McPherson and British Columbia union leader Rob Ashton.

“It’s a moral outrage that so many people in Canada can’t afford the basics of a dignified life at a time when corporate profits are only skyrocketing,” Lewis said as he unveiled an array of new proposals Monday. “When people are being gouged at the checkout aisle, on their phone bills, and in their rents, it’s clear that the market is failing.”

Lewis called for the creation of a public not-for-profit grocery store chain that would operate coast to coast to combat the growing crisis of food insecurity.

Trump shares altered map of U.S. flag covering Canada, Greenland and Venezuela

While you were sleeping, U.S. President Donald Trump was online trolling Canada, Greenland and Venezuela.

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump published an altered image that features the U.S. flag covering parts of North and South America, including Canada, Greenland and Venezuela.

The social media photo was published just before 1 a.m. on Tuesday. It shows Trump displaying the map from the Oval Office as European leaders look on.

Truly signs of a declining empire. Of course, these were apparent already, but this "Greater North American Co-Prosperity Sphere" bullshit is a prelude to the total collapse of this country. It's almost difficult to imagine how we went from "immigrants stealing our jobs" narrative to "we must conquer these lands" for Lebensraum. I suppose Germany also went through this same trajectory too, it's just feels so weird within the modern day.

Pretty certain any attempt to annex Canada aside from 51st state trolling would mean instant war with the U.K. and NATO just as Greenland is being set up to be.
