I wonder if the Notley - Avi Lewis "debate" has the potential to derail some of that hard-left environmental activism?
The NDP natives are perturbed at Notley because she is still digging up "their" resources. The Liberal natives were perturbed at Trudeau because he didn't invite them to his meeting. So the left-enviro-native alliance is under stress.
Meanwhile Avi is perturbed that Notley is showing him the appropriate level of deference due NDP Royalty (Avi son of Stephen son of David). What does it say if the Leap Manifesto is adopted by the Third Party? What does it say if the Leap Manifesto is rejected by the most radical of the mainstream alternatives?
I think that either way this Leap gambit has the potential for exposing how poorly supported such radical thinking is and may take the extreme activism out of the spotlight for a while. Perhaps enough to clear the decks for pipelines?
