I see media ans Alberta NDP people criticizing Avi Lewis for his advocacy of the Leap Manifesto a decade ago.

The 2015 Leap Manifesto called for :
*A shift to a "100% clean energy economy" by 2050.
*An end to gov subsidies to the fossil fuel industry
*Support for community-owned clean energy projects
*A universal program for retrofitting, prioritizing low income communities
*Re-training for workers in carbon-intensive industries
*Localization of agriculture infrastructure
*A moratorium on international trade deals that infringe upon democratic rights
*A debate on universal basic income
*An end to corporate funding of political campaigns and examination of voting reform.

Scary stuff, huh. #NDP #NDPleadership
