Show Notes
Avi Lewis, NDP leadership contender, aims to unify the party, but criticizes former leader Thomas Mulcair for shifting right and balancing the budget fast in 2015, costing them the election. Lewis rejects Mulcairs advice to secure a Parliament seat, emphasizing different NDP vibes. Party members are divided, with hard-left supporters backing Lewiss democratic socialist push, while moderates worry about western provincial branches. Mulcair counters that Lewis has no seat. Rival Rob Ashton praises Mulcairs service, while Heather McPherson stresses unity. Lewiss challenge: bridging left-moderate gaps and rebuilding the NDPs edge without further infighting.
