Is Avi Lewis Dangerous?

[WestCanMan]

Leftists will say that he's dangerous because he's a Jew, and they control the world, and they will try to commit genocide against muslims everywhere, using the space lasers, but it's even worse than that: he worked for the CBC.

Just when we're coming to the end of the LPoC era, we have this lunatic rising from the asylum to assume leadership of the cult, and with all his CBC connections to boot.

Should we be scared?

It's probably a question we should expect from you people. Look how frightened you were under Mr Socks.

But no. The only danger is from peeing your pants while laughing when right-wing wackadoodles say the things they do about the left.

LMAO!

Does this mean even MTG couldn't keep up and has been left behind by a right-wing on its march to who the fùck knows where?

I see little chance he'll be taken seriously by anyone but the profoundly ignorant.

He wants open borders, for example. Let them all in and give them citizenship immediately. Give all the foreign workers here instant citizenship. He wants to ban all new pipelines, oil projects, or LNG terminals and wants every roof to have solar panels and every house to have heat pumps (no dollar cost estimate made). 

[West]

Dangerous to the NDP probably. They'll be completely wiped out next federal election and we will unfortunately have to deal with a Liberal majority 

[CdnFox]

We've seen his kind rise into a cult leader often enough. Stalin started pretty small, so you just never know! look at how driven the left is by hatred and bigotry and anger these days.  And his time with the CBC would have helped work that into a frenzy.

That is most likely the case. About the NDP at any rate.

This guy doesn't even want to run for a seat. If he's not in the house he's going to be utterly irrelevant. I mean he's basically following in the footsteps of Mad Max as far as that goes. He isn't going to be inspiring anybody

He's also one of the most visited choices they could have made, even going so far as to engage in hate talk about Thomas More care just the night before. And that's what he's like, he's going to divide NDP groups more than bring them together.

This is going to look an awful lot like when Elizabeth may try to step down from the green party and we saw the work nonsense that happened after which split the party in two and almost completely destroyed it

I suspect they will go through 4 years of obscurity and then get wiped out after that, but Canada really does not do well as a two-party system and while I realized that block still represent a significant number of seats they're not really a Canadian party

They were more relatable under a slightly left of center Tom Mulcair. The radicalized fringe may appeal to between 5 and 7 percent of the population and they may get some people who vote for them out of habit. But can't see this choice moves the party any further ahead

what the actual hell? Can someone try and explain the card system? How do they score who's most oppressed?

I don't understand exactly how these NDP 'equity cards' work as they are different colours and I can't see what's written on them. But from the short video, it seems that they may be similar to a deck of playing cards in that certain 'equity cards' trump other 'equity cards' like a Jack trumps a 10 and so on, thus giving those with higher cards the right to speak ahead of others?

I wonder what the highest card is in that loony deck?

It is funny though😆

https://tdpelmedia.com/far-left-canadians-argue-over-equity-cards-at-2026-ndp-leadership-convention-in-edmonton/

“Equity Cards” are mini identifiers handed out at this convention that signal certain social categories — gender, race, disability, Indigenous status, and more — with the aim of encouraging inclusive speaking order and recognition.

The system was introduced as part of the NDP’s effort to amplify voices historically marginalized in political spaces.

But what was meant to foster inclusion instead became a flashpoint.

During a caucus session, one woman objected loudly after she wasn’t recognized to speak, pointing to her equity card and saying she held “gender equity” status and deserved acknowledgment.

Another delegate quickly responded, arguing that her own card — noting her identity as a Black woman — carried weight only within the enclosed political context and didn’t represent real equity outside the room.

This tells me these folks would argue most of the day about their privilege cards, what color their skin is, their gender reassignment surgeries and make up new pronouns leaving very little time during the day to get anything else done

Well it's often been said that there's two personalities to the ndp. One is the 'working man's' ndp, which focuses on making life "better" for the blue collar union worker and their families and people they care about etc.  That's Jack and Tom.  Then there's the "activist" ndp , the social justice warriors and wokescolds who only care about shaking their fist at the 'injustices' and 'nazis' of the world, which is basically everyone to the right of stalin. 

When the ndp is running on a mixture of about 80 percent of the first and 20 percent of the second, they tend to do very well. 

Right now with this guy they're probably 90 percent the second nad maybe 10 percent of the first, and that's death for them

I am not a Carla Beck fan. She strikes me as a Karen who just wants to yell at people. 

However credit where it's do. Shes called out the federal NDP on their anti energy platform. I read some analysis that this move may marginally help the federal NDP but will totally bury the provincial parties. 

I personally dont think it helps them federally but basically wiped out any progress the provincial NDP made is Sask and Alberta

Yes, it's not widely well known outside of people who really watch politics but The NDP is different from other parties. The federal conservative party has absolutely nothing to do with a provincial conservative party, other than they may have some similar supporters.

But the NDP is specifically tied at the hip between the federal and provincial parties. They are essentially the same party and their constitution does not really allow for them to have differing views

So Abby and his leave it in the ground policies are going to come into Stark collision with a number of provinces including Alberta British Columbia the maritimes when it comes to resource extraction and that will create problems for them in those provinces specifically

This was just the wrong guy. He's divisive and he shortsighted and appeals to a narrow group of Canadians and repels others

Avi Lewis, is from a very long line of uber left wing political family.

Out of curiosity I listened to his acceptance speech and it sounded to me like NDP from decades ago that demanded and promised everything for free.

The NDP that had no concept of where the government money came from nor how to budget nor how to plan.

I thunk they will get more seats in the next election because there are areas (BC and Manitoba) that are mores socialist than others areas.

Getting wiped out to only six seat is devastating ...(not as devastating as Mulroneys fall to only 2 seats) but the NDP will gain by making unrealistic promises;

Hmm. Well, my thought is that all three parties have become far too polarized. I believe that more than ever we need a a middle of the road, moderate Party. There are policies in each of the big three parties that I agree with, however, there is now far too many that I disagree with entirely. Which is fine, that is politics and compromise. Now we have three parties whose base is comprised of the most radical in each. Much of this can be contributed to Social Media Horseshit.

Well, in my opinion, yes and no.

I think our politics here in Canada have become very American. Either left or right.

The Progressive Conservative party used to be moderate but in the past decade or so have become very negative and out more for them than for Canada.

The Liberals have always been somewhat left but have tried to become Canadian

The NDP was, at best, always socialist and seems now, the the new leader seems to wants to take them to the severe socialist side.

And you are so right, social media and its guaranteed anonymity has made politics almost a full contact sport. Politeness is gone and attacking anyone they do not agree with is the norm. There is no political debate anymore...it is all insults and demeaning attitude.

The sign of a cultist is that they cling to their leader's irrational dogma in the face of all logic and reason, like the people here who still think Carney has his elbows up, and that he's a real badass that's working hard for Canadians.

The guy talks big but then he goes to the WH to roll over for belly-rubs and to chew on pillows, and every time we see the exact same results, you act surprised, and then pretend it doesn't matter. Dude, that's probably from P1 of Culting for Dummies. Congrats on doing something really well?

Carney flew all the way to China to get some business done - it cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars for his in-flight meals alone - and then when he got back and made his big announcement of what he accomplished there, Trump cancelled it all with a single tweet. What's worse is, I even told you guys that Carney was going to have to back-peddle before it even happened. I told you all here that there was no way that Carney would get permission to do that, and he did not. 

For the time and money it cost Trump to make one trip to the bathroom, he cancelled the "progress" from Carney's whole week-long trip to China and back. Think about the economics of that: how much does it cost to fly a team of LPoC crotch-jockeys to Beijing to bounce on Xi's lap for a week, vs the cost for Trump to walk to the bathroom and take one dump?

Here are some of the costs for some of Carney's other fruitless trips:

• Carney's in-flight meals to Rome: $93,000
• Carney's in-flight meals to London: $52,000
• Carney's in-flight to Belgium: $49,000
• Carney's in-flight to Mexico: $34,000
• Carney's in-flight meals to Rome: $21,000
• Carney's flights, security and hotels: Millions of dollars
• Number of trade deals secured with other countries: same number as my dog has
• Trump cancelling everything from his toilet, with a series of mean tweets: priceless

 

E-F: at this point, shouldn't Carney have to ask Trump for permission to make trade deals before he wastes all of our taxpayer dollars on party-jets, hotels, security, restaurants, and lap-dances to genocidal dictators?

Carney: "Uhhhh, hello Mr Trump, sir. Thank you for the belly-rubs, and uhhh, if it's not too much to ask, uhhhh, can I fly to Djibouti to make a trade deal? Canadians can't afford to import cars anymore, so we need some really sturdy goats, and it's been two weeks now since I had my Black Truffle Bald Eagle & Caviar with Gold Flakes dinner and 3 bottles of Dom. I obviously can't eat it all on a flight to f'ing Calgary."

Barron Trump: "You drink 3 bottles of Dom with you dinner? Are you that much of an alcoholic?"

Carney: "Oh, I thought this was the president. Can you put him on the phone?"

Barron: "No, you answer to me now. And why so much champagne? Don't make me ask twice again...""

Carney: "Oh, sorry, Mr Barron, sir. No, I can't drink too much or my prostate will be the size of a grape. I usually just have one glass, but we always open the other two bottles, just in case I want more." 

Barron: "Whatever. Just don't announce your big whoopty-doo deal on a Wednesday unless you want it cancelled, because I eat tacos on Tuesday and I'm in a foul mood during my Wednesday morning toilet-scrolling session."

Carney: "Wait, was it you who cancelled my China deal? Do you have your dad's Twitter login?"

Trump: "That will be all, governor. From now on, call JD's assistant, or Marco's kid sister. Don't interrupt my Candy Crush like this again or you'll be demoted to Mayor of Spuzzum."

Or maybe the sign of cultist are the people that after 11 years and 4 attempts and 3 leaders still "cling to their leader's irrational dogma in the face of all logic and reason"?

Seems the liberal leaders, one lasting 10 years and one only in it for the first time and just starting are gathering steam?  Considering the Canadian public say he is the best PM ever and way ahead of the one you are so admiring?

So, in the end, after all your anti Carney and anti Liberal banter, the choice of the Canadian voting public in the past 11 years was Liberal and  the Liberals will be there for another 3+ and now the Canadian voters are happy with Carney and the Liberal
