NDP has expelled me. Recently National Director Lucy Watson sent a letter unilaterally revoking my membership in the party. Please email NDP federal council to demand my reinstatement https://t.co/QJGHt3K1LV
Jasmine Peardon is running for NDP President on the Capitalism Can’t Be Fixed - onwards to a socialist future platform. Her campaign is rooted in:
Rebuilding internal party democracy
Opening space for grassroots activists & socialists
Ending backroom gatekeeping & centralization
There’s a hunger out there for revolutionary politics. 50 in Kelowna last night for the final leg of my west coast tour on The Failure of Social Democracy: NDP militarism & imperialism
On 18 February, Yves Engler gave a talk at the Surrey City Centre Library on militarism, imperialism and capitalism. The event was organized and facilitated by Barbara Waldern. Q&A begins at 49:23

We interrupted NDP debate tonight to denounce the unelected vetting committee’s exclusion of our internationalist, ecosocialist, campaign. Barbara speaking to media outside of venue room about the exclusion of our anti-imperialist & militarist perspective
Yves Engler will be speaking today at the Surrey Public Library at 4:30 PM
Despite the @NDP’s best efforts to suppress Yves candidacy, and later denying Bianca Mugyenyi, the momentum of this grassroots movement will not be hampered.
Our campaign challenging capitalism & imperialism has significant support despite the smears & exclusion. Over 30 in Powell River last night to hear about the Failure of Social Democracy: NDP militarism and imperialism
Despite being denied access to NDP list & relentless smears, we continue to get bigger turnouts than all but one of other leadership campaigns. 60 showed up in Victoria last night for a hastily organized talk on the Failure of Social Democracy: NDP militarism and imperialism
Tonight at 6:30 PM ET: Lessons from the Minneapolis General Strike featuring Bryan D Palmer

Bryan Palmer is one of the foremost historians of working-class struggle in North America. Open to all - let's continue building our analysis together!
This is why I’m running to lead the NDP.
Land Back.
End billionaire power.
Eliminate student debt.
Shut down the tar sands.
End Canada’s complicity in genocide.
I’m in it to win it.
Let’s take our power back.
Today an armed terror group assassinated an opponent of their assaults against migrants. Incredibly Canada still treats US as place where migrants & refugees receive fair treatment. Our NDP leadership platform calls to "Withdraw from Safe Third Country Agreement" & place "moratorium on deportations and detentions." Read: https://t.co/nkdJaohDxf
Today our activists joined the All Out for Venezuela demonstration in Toronto to say #HandsOffVenezuela. Campaign supporters held placards calling for solidarity with the Venezuelan people, defence against US attacks as well as the need for anti-imperialist leadership in the NDP.
Hands off Venezuela! Canada must condemn this act of war, demand Maduro’s release & denounce US aggression on Venezuela. It must end military support for the U.S. war on Venezuela & rescind Canadian sanctions on VZ immediately! All out in solidarity! ACTION: Write to Carney now.
Canada must immediately cut off all direct and indirect support for the U.S.’ acts of war and military violence. Email @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP

Our platform recognizes that we, as humans, regardless of income or identity, all have the same basic needs-and that these should be met through universal basic services. We recognize that environmental protection and social justice are inherently linked

“By excluding a candidate who could draw public attention to the race and force an ideological reckoning with his anti-capitalist policy positions, the party has chosen mundane procedural comfort over political daring.” — Bhagwant Sandhu, The Hill Times
