Avi Lewis launches NDP leadership bid promising a ‘public option’ for groceries

OTTAWA — Filmmaker and activist Avi Lewis entered the NDP leadership race on Friday with a populist message, promising to champion “the many” over “the money.”

Lewis vowed in a slickly produced launch video to take the fight to the corporate oligarchs who are “hoarding extreme wealth (and) foreclosing on our shared future.”

Avi grew up a socialist princeling I never got the impression he was comfortable among the great unwashed.
