‘Of course, I would like to see the #NDP under Lewis hold the balance of power or even form government. But more than that, I want to see an NDP so capable of meeting this moment that it resets the boundaries of Canada’s political spectrum. More seats in Parliament would be an achievement, but a future in which the Conservatives split over the American crisis and the centre of political gravity shifts further left would be even more consequential.’ https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/can-avi-lewis-turn-crisis-into-coherence-for-the-ndp

Can Avi Lewis turn crisis into coherence for the NDP?

Last weekend, Avi Lewis was elected as the NDP’s new leader. His first-ballot win is reason to hope that the party will engage much more directly with this era of upheaval. Acknowledging the gravity of our political and economic crises is the minimum requirement for getting a hearing in Canadian politics right now, and Lewis is more than up to the task.
