Avi Lewis says Liberals lost their identity by accepting Gladu

“She ran for the leadership of the Conservative party six years ago on an anti-abortion platform, opposed banning conversion therapy, a stance many viewed as blatantly homophobic," said Lewis.

Newly elected NDP leader Avi Lewis has wasted no time taking aim at the Liberals, accusing them of abandoning their principles after former Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu’s high-profile floor crossing.

In a Thursday appearance on CTV News Your Morning, Lewis questioned whether the Liberal party stood for anything coherent and proposed the federal NDP as a progressive alternative.
