Avi Lewis is a truly unconventional politician. He has managed to make himself a champion of young Canadians, which is quite a feat given that he’ll be in his 60th year in May.
They provided a lot of energy to his campaign but also tend to vote less and that could prove a challenge.
Under his leadership, the NDP will cement its role as a safe place for equity-seeking groups, a part of its branding that was a reflection of Jack Layton’s core beliefs.
Avi is on something not on to something. Never underestimate the stupidity of today’s university students or the media’s Avi cheerleaders.
