Show Notes
Avi Lewis, a broadcasting veteran and grandson of former NDP leader David Lewis, has been elected as the new leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), replacing Jagmeet Singh. Despite never holding elected office and losing federal bids, Lewis aims to revive the party, which currently holds only seven seats after last years election wipeout. His leadership is marked by his progressive views, including the Leap Manifesto advocating for a shift to renewable energy and taxing for equality, which has sparked mixed reactions within the party. Lewis now faces the challenge of regaining national relevance and appealing to a broader audience amidst a shifting political landscape and Trump-like sentiments.
