The New Democratic Party leadership race features five candidates with distinct visions for the partys future. Rob Ashton champions a worker-focused agenda, including a job guarantee and union access for migrant workers. Tanille Johnston emphasizes accessibility, proposing free post-secondary education and a guaranteed livable basic income. Avi Lewis advocates for big, bold ideas like publicly owned grocery stores and a national public telecom network, funded by a wealth tax. Heather McPherson, the only MP in the race, focuses on housing, proposing a national emergency declaration and a federal Crown corporation for affordable co-op housing.
