Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️ - ThreadSky

I had the privilege of hearing him speak in person twice. His advocacy for Africans suffering from AIDS was utterly remarkable. I miss his videos. I miss hearing his views, and I’m so grateful he is standing against genocide. Be well, Mr. Lewis.

Your Dad is one of my favourite Canadians. I would expect no less from him.

Love to your Dad, I remember his address to the NDP convention in Alberta. So glad he's still showing us how it's done.

He's the greatest (no offense Avi). One of the greatest Canadians of all time. Always acting with integrity and passion. One of my role models growing up! Good luck for the criticism he'll get for this!
