“I think there will be a point in the next year where I feel we’re election-ready across the country. We want to run serious campaigns everywhere,” Lewis said in a recent interview in Montreal’s Plateau neighbourhood. “We’re in a position as a party on the rebound where I can’t just pursue a seat at all costs. So I do need a litmus test for when is it time for me to get in there? And that’s going be either in the next election or the run-up to the next election, once we are election-ready.” Lewis ran and lost in Vancouver ridings in both the 2021 and 2025 elections.
Twice bitten thrice shy.
They really seem out of touch with reality. Like the party is perpetually on Twitter or something (cpc has the same problem). The "race cards" or whatever they were are incredibly tone deaf to an equal and functioning society. I WISH we had a workers party. It would crush these neoliberal/far left-right candidates
i would be happy to dilute liberal power. a lot of people have accepted compromises they maybe shouldn't have for the sake of pushing back against culture war and "warrior mindset" bullshit
He lost in 2025 but let’s be real, he didn’t really have a chance. Hedy Fry’s going to keep winning that riding until she finally beats the record for longest serving MP or dies.
Translation: if there was a safe seat to run in, I’d run, but we fucked up so badly as a party that there is no such thing for us anymore. Running and losing now would probably end my leadership, so I’m just going to wait until a general election, instead. That way I can take my pick at the best possible riding to try my chances in.
