OTTAWA — Former Alberta NDP environment minister Shannon Phillips wants an apology from NDP leadership frontrunner Avi Lewis, after a years-old video re-emerged of Lewis and wife Naomi Klein laughing over Phillips losing her cabinet post.
The video, which has been on YouTube since September 2020, shows the two reacting to “mean tweets” about their Leap Manifesto, a sweeping attempt to shut down fossil fuel use and impose extensive income retribution that they had tried unsuccessfully to force through as official NDP policy at the party’s 2016 convention in Edmonton.
One of these lunatics will likely be NDP leader, they’ll pretend it’s the one wearing pants.
