This week on No Power Panel, Noam returns with updates, reflections, and a deep dive into the NDP leadership race that’s beginning to take real shape in Canada. After addressing his recent health challenges and the future of the show, Noam explores the state of the Canadian left, the candidates shaping the New Democratic Party’s next chapter, and the media’s role in determining who gets taken seriously. From Heather McPherson and Avi Lewis to Yves Engler—who joined No Power Panel last month—this episode looks at who’s connecting with the grassroots, how the establishment is reacting, and what it will take to rebuild the NDP as a true party of the working class. Noam also discusses how this leadership contest could shape Canada’s response to inequality, climate justice, and foreign policy—and why independent media like No Power Panel must continue providing a platform for honest, unfiltered political dialogue. 📌 Highlights Health update & new direction for No Power Panel Why Patreon support is more vital than ever The NDP leadership race heats up The rise of grassroots voices like Yves Engler Invitations for Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis, and Rob Ashton to join the conversation What’s next for the Canadian left#NoPowerPanel #NDPLeadership #CanadianPolitics #ProgressivePolitics #YvesEngler #AviLewis #HeatherMcPherson #CanadianLeft #IndependentMedia #PoliticalPodcast
