Alberta NDP’s election rigging warning ‘tinfoil hat’ talk, justice minister says
It’s “ridiculous” for the Alberta NDP to charge that the UCP is opening the door to “cheating and election rigging” in the way it’s approaching the Alberta electoral boundaries commission’s final report, says the provincial justice minister.

"Lewis will undoubtedly play an ‘excite the base’ strategy that may play well on social media and in downtown Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver ridings, but that will only result in what? A 25-30 seat gain for the #NDP at best?" #cdnpoli

Steven High, a historian of labour and de-industrialization, knows a thing or two. Here he offers his take on Lewis, contextualizing the positions he's taken in a very (very, very) brief potted history of the NDP and a reflection on the party as it stands at the moment. Worth a couple of minutes.

Avi Lewis will make the NDP think big again

The road ahead will not be an easy one for Lewis and the New Democrats. And while his vision may ultimately resonate more with the party’s urban progressives than its working-class base, it is exciting to think that the NDP might once again be the source of bold new ideas. Canadian politics will be better for it.
