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

The petro industry and their conservative grifters were terrified by Leap Manifesto, they launched a full scale media blitz in AB when it was released. Appears they are still scared so are launching another propaganda attack. Sadly, many Albertans can't see through the fog and gorge on all petro propaganda they encounter. -

Someone on CBC mentioned Avi Lewis's Leap Manifesto past catching up with him, as if half of the Leap agenda had not since been implemented to a greater or lesser extent by the Liberal Party itself.
At the time almost all Canadian media freaked out - the G&M, NaPo, the lot - so people have this idea it was really weird and radical w/o having read it.
