Winnipeg MP Leah Gazan has endorsed activist Avi Lewis as the NDP’s next leader, marking the first endorsement from the party’s caucus. Gazan believes Lewis is the right choice for this “critical moment,” emphasizing his commitment to economic, social, and environmental justice. She has criticized rival candidate Heather McPherson for her comments on party membership criteria. Lewis, known for his radical platform including a national wealth tax and phasing out fossil fuels, is among the frontrunners in the leadership race, with the new leader to be announced on March 29 in Winnipeg.
