## Resource

NDP Leader Avi Lewis hit the ground running in Montreal, spending three weeks soaking up the local vibe and brushing up on French—all while laying the groundwork for potential byelections in two key Quebec ridings. With environmental concerns and climate policy frustration simmering, especially in Laurier–Sainte-Marie where Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault is reportedly stepping down, Lewis is betting on grassroots momentum over star power. He’s already building alliances with local activists and candidates like Pierre Céré and Nimâ Machouf, sensing cracks in Liberal support—and even hearing whispers of defections. Meanwhile, the PM’s office has announced three August 31 byelections in Toronto, North Vancouver, and Chicoutimi–Le Fjord, with the NDP actively scouting candidates—possibly including one for Beaches—East York soon.
