NDP’s Ground Game in Quebec | Calgary News

NDP leader Avi Lewis dove headfirst into Montreal for three weeks, sharpening his French and building momentum for key Quebec byelections in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie and Laurier–Sainte-Marie—riding seats vital to the NDP’s provincial foothold as current MPs prepare to step down. Walking door-to-door with candidates Pierre Céré and Nimâ Machouf, Lewis tapped into voter frustrations over the government’s climate policies and its embrace of AI, especially in Laurier–Sainte-Marie, the riding of resigning Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault. He spotted early signs of Liberal voters shifting to the NDP over environmental priorities, and stressed that grassroots energy—not star power—is what will win these races, as the NDP gears up for August’s byelections across Canada.
