NDP Leadership Candidates Prepare for Final Debate

The NDP leadership candidates are gearing up for their final debate in B.C. on Thursday, following a previous debate that largely took place in English. Candidates share similar social democratic values but aim to distinguish themselves, with the new leader to be announced on March 29 in Winnipeg. Rob Ashton advocates for a national public transit strategy, while Tanille Johnston emphasizes infrastructure investment in First Nations and proposes a guaranteed livable basic income. Avi Lewis focuses on tax reform, including a wealth tax and regulations on AI, and aims to eliminate subsidies for the fossil fuel sector.
