Our FIRST municipal endorsement of 2026 is for @calebratzlaff, Ward 4, St. Catharines! We endorsed Caleb’s victorious campaign in 2022, and he has been an absolute powerhouse in bringing Community Wealth Building—and PERMANENT affordable housing--to Niagara.

Happy Canada Day!
Our economy should be democratized for our citizens, not made the plaything of giant and extractive absentee owners.
Politicians who say they love our country should prove it.
It's time to build community wealth.

HAPPY WORLD COMMUNITY LAND TRUST DAY!
Started by Black American farmers, CLTs are now core to Community Wealth Building globally, providing PERMANENT affordable housing and local economic democracy.
The CLT movement is rapidly expanding across Canada.
With much more to come.

Congratulations @avilewis, whom we endorsed, on winning the NDP leadership on the first ballot!
We were thrilled Avi directly supported Community Wealth Building in his campaign.
We hope this leads to a stronger push for CWB in Canada at a time when it is needed more than ever.
ENDORSEMENT!
We're thrilled to endorse @avilewis for leader of the federal NDP.
We're especially glad see Avi's bold platform includes two of our top federal priorities since we started in 2021: a Right of First Refusal for workers and a National Worker Ownership Fund!

Great to see @avilewis, whom we've endorsed, covering Community Land Trusts.
CLTs have become core to building community wealth.
They bring local economic democracy and *permanent* affordable housing together.
And they work from Toronto to Whitehorse. 👍

Scotland has passed the first national community wealth building legislation.
We've pushed for a Canadian federal CWB agenda long before Trump attacked our sovereignty.
Now more than ever, Canada should be building robust community wealth coast to coast.

Scotland has passed the world's first NATIONAL community wealth building legislation!
An important milestone.
Let's do Canada next.
Scotland just became the first country in the world to pass a Community Wealth Building law.
Here’s how it will help local communities, local businesses and create local jobs. 👇

The NDP especially can't be "characters in search of a plot."
Mainstream parties are entrenching failed neoliberalism.
But we need bold alternatives to neoliberalism now more than ever.
Those alternatives should be rooted in economic democracy and community wealth.
Doly Begum’s shock defection highlights the NDP’s challenges, but Avi Lewis is emerging as the candidate with the progressive vision to steer the party into the future, positioning him to rebuild trust, clarify the party’s purpose, and energize the base. canadiandimension.com/articl…

Canada can't keep drifting to a failed neoliberal right in a US-style duopoly.
We need to disrupt this status quo.
And we need a robust community wealth agenda.
Mark Carney promised “elbows up” politics. Instead, he’s narrowed Canada’s choices and deepened the neoliberal consensus. With a byelection looming in University–Rosedale, Colin Bruce Anthes argues why a strategic NDP vote matters well beyond Toronto. canadiandimension.com/articl…

Happy New Year!
We'll be endorsing municipal candidates across the country in 2026.
We need a Canadian economy structured very differently.
It's time for community wealth, not absurd oligarchic inequality.

Amazing news from Niagara!
The Community Land Trust of Niagara will has been approved for its first major project with 83 units.
And we're proud to say the land trust is chaired by St. Catharines councillor Caleb Ratzlaff, one of our candidates from 2022.
