Avi Lewis on Breakfast Television. His observations on the Libs accepting social conservative Marilyn Gladu was kinda funny. Anyway, as always, he did well in putting forward the progressive vision of the NDP.

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.
Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.
Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.
Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.
Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.
US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

Good statement by Lewis.
Before you say Avi Lewis is speaking in some sort of "extreme" way for the NDP, his position stated today is nearly identical to the one voiced by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez - of the much more centrist than it sounds "Socialist Party of Spain".
Sanchez goes so far as to suggest the EU suspend Israel's Association Agreement with the EU.
