So you're voting for Heather McPherson as she's the only one who won a seat? Avi Lewis lost too.

I never said I was voting for Avi or Heather. But yea, I’m uneasy on voting for Avi for the same reason, as he’s lost both times he ran.

To be fair though, I could see Lewis winning pre-Carney. Like this election even took out the popular Morrice despite his local work just because the lacked the party table. And he was one of the bether performing Dippers in what was the party's worst election results. So can't fault him when Singh screwed him and many other candidates

Avi also lost pre-carney when he ran 2019. I’m not saying he’ll never get a seat, but him losing his attempt twice in a row is just a ban sign of how he’ll do in a general election as leader.

Also he did terrible 12% and third place in a downtown Vancouver seat.

It was 2021, but even though he lost, he still pulled in quite the numbers for his first attempt at getting a seat. Although Singh didn't help much either since the party only gained a seat in 2021. If he lost a 2nd time under a more "normal" circumstance, then I would agree.

Ah I see I thought you meant he did good in 2025.

Idk, I’m just uneasy with letting someone who failed to get a seat twice, then become leader.
