How will Avi Lewis pay for his big ideas? Taxing billionaires and corporations. “Banks made $70 billion in profits last year…Grocery baron Galen Weston alone is worth $20 billion,” Avi says. “The money is there my friends. We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.”

What the hell is going on in Canadian media? Why was journalist Tina Yazdani — who was dogged in her coverage of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government — suddenly fired from CityNews without any explanation to the public? This is potential-major-press-freedom-story levels of concerning:
Alex Jones tries to read an article in its entirety and seemingly begins to hallucinate words
There’s a leftist movement catching fire around the world as people realize they’re getting screwed by the rich who keep getting richer. NDP Leader @avilewis.ca is hoping to harness that flame — but can he convince Canadians they won’t be burned? Here’s a sneak peek of our conversation:
I’m finding myself increasingly horrified at how low some politicians go. They’re willing to lie despite being fact-checked, they’re willing to downplay horrors, and they’re willing to legitimize icky influencers. It's also, awkwardly, a disproportionate problem within the Conservative Party:
Trans rights have been under attack, viciously, for a while now. I think we need to have a talk about just how intentional all of that is — how these narratives are being used to drive a wedge through our society, so specific actors can profit and fundraise off of our misplaced rage:
I’m travelling for work and I wasn’t planning to film a video today. Then I saw something I couldn’t ignore. An Israeli cabinet minister posted a video to social media revelling in the abuse of detained flotilla activists, including Canadians. And our government is hardly doing anything about it:
Whenever I want to check in on the state of Canadian democracy, I look at its weakest link: the Alberta government. And folks, it’s not looking great. You know the Don’t Say Gay stuff we’re used to seeing in the the United States? It looks like something similar is coming to Alberta schools.
Canada has a Neo Nazi problem — but we actually just did something about one of them. A Canadian neo-nazi was just sentenced to 20 years in prison. As investigative journalist @petersmith.bsky.social helped me explain, this could be a big deal (and likely has other nazis shaking in their boots):
This one of the wildest Canadian politics stories I’ve seen in a while. A Liberal nomination race in the province of Ontario is being rocked by allegations of serious irregularities in voting — and it’s exposing a flaw in Canadian democracy that politicians of all stripes are speaking out about:
“The NDP will start winning again because we will become that beacon to the 99%, illuminating the darkening sky of these terrifying times with the energizing light of collective struggle,” Avi Lewis says. It’s about coming together to build “a government that works for the many, not the money.”

What if networking wasn’t just collecting contacts, but actually building something meaningful? Real networks need layers. High-volume conversations that move the needle. Strategic relationships that fuel growth. And most important, people who genuinely cheer you on and want to see you

In this video you can see a visual map of some of the neurons within a fruit fly’s ventral nerve cord (VNC), like that of a human’s spinal cord. Neurons progressively stack on top of each other and at the end of the video, you can see a rough neuronal map of the VNC.
