Food affordability remains a priority for many Canadians. This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government unveiled the spring economic update. It included some already announced measures aimed to make groceries more affordable. But some people are considering others measures to make food cheaper: public grocery stores. Federal NDP leader, Avi Lewis, has been talking about establishing a network of public grocery stores across Canada and municipalities like Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver are also considering the concept. Mike von Massow is a food economist at the University of Guelph. He joins us today to stress-test the concept of public grocery stores and whether they could make food more affordable in Canada.

NDP Leader Avi Lewis is pushing Carney's newly-elected majority government to enact legislation that would ban surveillance pricing. This would mean businesses would not be allowed to use your personal data like search history to change their pricing. It comes less than a month after he was elected as the leader of the Federal NDP, and alongside another idea to help food affordability: public grocery stores. The City of Toronto is moving forward with its own public grocer pilot project starting next spring. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to NDP Leader Avi Lewis to discuss how the Carney government could crunch the numbers to allow for publicly-funded grocers, and why a ban on algorithmic-based pricing will help everyday Canadians.

As members of the NDP celebrate new leader Avi Lewis and his vision to revitalize their party, there's skepticism in Alberta that Lewis' federal victory will put the New Democrats back on the road to relevancy.Two NDP insiders, Shannon Phillips, a former Alberta NDP cabinet minister, and Keith McLaughlin, who was chief of staff to several ministers in Rachel Notley's government, join West of Centre host Kathleen Petty to offer their analysis on the impact that Lewis will have in Alberta — and they're blunt in their assessment.Neither see a clear path for the federal NDP to become relevant in the near future. And as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith weaponizes the tie between the New Democrats' federal and provincial wings -- pointing to the party's constitution as proof that their federal and provincial policies are one and the same -- the panel is brushing off the document as meaningless. They say what the federal NDP is doing doesn't matter to Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi, as his focus is on the politics in his province, and his opponent is Smith.For his part, Nenshi tells the podcast his priority isn't on the federal party and convincing them to change their policy on natural resource development and expansion. He shrugs off the division, and says his attention is on the future of Alberta. Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Keith McLaughlin, Shannon PhillipsProducer: Diane Yanko

A floor crossing conversation with Interim Federal NDP Leader Don Davies.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Two films by veteran journalist, educator, and NDP candidate Avi Lewis are being shown at the Linnaea Education Centre this weekend. At 7 PM on Friday, January 23, 2026, Lewis and his wife Naomi Klein tell the story of Argentinian workers who took control of a bankrupt auto plant and turned it into a cooperative. At 7 PM on the following night, their documentary ‘This Changes Everything' connects climate action to economic justice. Max Thaysen, who is organizing the showings, explained, “Avi Lewis is running for the leadership of the Federal NDP, and he has made a couple of awesome films that I actually haven't seen yet. So, I thought that it would be interesting to see his films, learn more about him, share that with the community, and take the opportunity to chat about the leadership race and how people can get involved if they want to.”

Things might look dire for the NDP, with the loss of official party status and its seven members not always seeing eye to eye. But at least three individuals — Edmonton MP Heather McPherson, former broadcaster Avi Lewis, and union leader Rob Ashton — have stepped up offering to lead New Democrats to greener pastures.  In this episode of “It's Political,” the Althia Raj sits down with Toronto Star Ottawa Bureau reporter Mark Ramzy for an update on what's happened to the NDP since election night, the state of the leadership race and the candidates' offerings so far. Then, Althia sits down with Rob Ashton to explore his leadership vision and where he wants to refocus the NDP. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Kevin Sexton and Althia Raj. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from Heather McPherson's website, Avi Lewis' website, Rob Ashton's X feed, CTV, CBC, CPAC, Mark Ramzy's interview tape, and the IATSE 891: Apple Box Talks podcast.
