Briefe an den Herausgeber, 3. April: „Ich amüsiere mich über diejenigen, die Stephen Lewis loben … und dann befürchten, dass Avi Lewis, dessen Idealismus dem seines Vaters ähnelt, die NDP zu weit nach links ziehen wird.“

Honestly- It’s not an issue that he will pull the party too far left- it’s whether he can actually get his ideas implemented as policy.
He has yet to win any election, and I’m not sure if he’s pragmatic enough to work with the Liberals so some of his ideas see the light of the day.
Long time lefty here, one who thought Stephen Lewis was absolutely amazing, and who grieves his absence on the list of our prime ministers …
…. But Avi has yet to show that he is remotely of the same calibre. Being passionate is not the same as being strategic. Or even the same as being correct.
Political acumen and wisdom is NOT an inherited trait.
