When you tell people for over a decade you won’t listen to them, I don’t know why you expect them to sit down for a conversation. No one needs the frustration of arguing with a brick wall.
>Her party is “laser focused on providing practical solutions that apply here in this province that are going to ensure jobs, affordability, a bright future for people in this province,” she said.
>Premier Scott Moe, speaking to reporters after question period on Monday, said the provincial and federal NDP have similar goals and share the same mandate. He also criticized Lewis, calling him “one of the more radical left-wing leaders” the party has elected and accusing his policies of threatening Saskatchewan’s economy.
>“What this new NDP leader is bent on doing is actually destroying half of the economy, and then nationalizing the other half,” Moe said.’
Lewis is already being hung over the provincial NDP. This happened with Singh in the 2024 election, and it’s already happening with Lewis. I am sorry, Avi, but you can’t have fundamental disagreements like this and help the provincial NDP get elected. They have no choice but to distance themselves as much as possible from you. He’s the worst thing that could have happened to the SNDP.

The headline’s a bit misleading. “Call for unity” is usually code for “shut up and toe the line”, but he seems to be actually saying that’s it’s fine for them to disagree on individual issues.

ANDP and SNDP are closer to Liberals than NDP due to the coalition those parties build (there is no provincial liberal party in those provinces)
It’s not surprising a coalition of centre/red tories with some progressives would be opposed to a leftist federal NDP regarding fossil fuels

I would rather the federal NDP stand as an actual Progressive option and drive out the moderates that have completely dismantled what the party used to stand for than continue on the track that Mulcair put them on. I think a more radical party based on Leftist policy would actually do a lot better than people think. If it wasn’t more popular than they are letting on they wouldn’t immediately be trying to push scare tactics. The none stop pearl clutching is very telling.

I’m with Lewis. Fossil energy is an accounting trick; it only appears profitable because we don’t bill the industry for the climate disasters, crop failures, and rising sea levels it causes. Every ‘profitable’ year for oil is actually a withdrawal from the planet’s future stability—a debt our children will have to service.
The era of ‘easy oil’ is over. We are now spending massive amounts of energy and financial capital just to extract lower-quality fuel (like fracking or oil sands). This creates a cycle of diminishing returns where we have to take on more financial debt to maintain the same level of energy output, making the entire economy more fragile.
The fossil fuel economy effectively ‘taxes’ our public healthcare system. By ignoring the respiratory and chronic illnesses caused by air pollution, we are essentially giving the energy sector a massive, silent subsidy. If the industry had to pay the medical bills of the people it makes sick, it would be bankrupt tomorrow.
Investing in fossil fuels today is building an economy on ‘stranded assets.’ As the world shifts to renewables, the trillions of dollars tied up in pipelines and refineries will become worthless. It’s a bubble fueled by debt, and when it bursts, it’s the taxpayers—not the CEOs—who will be left holding the bag.
Fossil energy is a lie because it functions on intergenerational debt. It pretends to create wealth while actually draining our natural capital and overloading our public healthcare systems. We aren’t just burning fuel; we are borrowing health and economic stability from the future to prop up a failing, high-cost system today. r/oilisdead
