I personally look forward to his election becoming old news so we can stop focusing so much on his family history. It paints him as some kind of saviour in shining armour come to lift us up, whereas the whole point is that we, ordinary people, need to take over the party and make it work for us. Like that's literally Lewis' own message, but he's constantly being painted in that corner.

For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
