NDP Leader Avi Lewis shared the following statement in response to news that a senior Canadian official is attending the Trump summit targeting ‘left-wing extremism’:
“Trump is fueling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda: including deadly ICE raids and endless wars of aggression. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next-door neighbour.
Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.”
