The Conservative leader touted his plan, which proposes charging a carbon price on fuel and putting more electric vehicles on the road, as one that strikes a balance between combating climate change and protecting jobs and economic growth.

What part of "Avi Lewis preaches controversial policies that makes him unelectable for many and reaffirms NDP being out of touch with Canadians" don't you understand? You are being completely daft on purpose and bringing up EVs instead of refusing to admit this only affirms it. You haven't addressed him sabotaging the NDP chances in the 2015, his battles on anti-oil ideology with his own party affiliates in the Alberta NDP, to the point of calling Notley the "new Patron saint of the corporate welfare bums".
And every NDP leader or candidate goes around and prances on picket lines for a photo op in between lattes. That's not impressive (especially considering the NDP's record while propping up the Liberals on back to work legislation has been abysmal). That's the champagne socialism part that they are famous for. Yet NDP still continues to lose more and more blue collared workers to other parties including the Conservatives (which is why they are now polling at 5%).
Lewis has been repeatedly questioned over the years on his stances being very directly opposed to a more pro-labour movement, and all he can ever say is blame the oil industry for creating a narrative, and that workers will be taken care of /jedi-hand-wave.
Again, why are you so hell bent on Lewis becoming the leader to the point you are going after multiple posters and defending him to this degree? Especially when the NDP has obvious better options (see Ashton) with better pro-labour root pedigree?
