@cxiao beaches-east york is about to open up if he'd like to move to the second-greatest city in the world

@tendstofortytwo noooo let me imagine the scenario where lewis gets a seat in the first-greatest city in the world: edmonton

kerry diotte resigns, lewis runs in edmonton-griesbach, wins the seat, him and mcpherson become riding buddies, the federal and provincial NDP goes to couples therapy and come out healed, and edmonton becomes FORTRESS ORANGE. the canadian democratic socialist revolution of the 2030s blooms forth from alberta

LET ME HAVE THIS

(still gutted about desjarlais losing there 😔)

@cxiao (slowly walks away) yes. you can have it. that's good. yes

with that said, I was basing my hopes and dreams on this https://www.mainstreetresearch.ca/post/can-avi-lewis-begin-an-ndp-comeback-in-beaches-east-york

Can Avi Lewis begin an NDP comeback in Beaches–East York?

A new poll shows a chance that if Avi Lewis wins the NDP leadership as expected
