This week we're taking another look at Canada's foreign policy, through the framing of Ed Burmila's "Naught by NATO" -- an article we've referenced before. Since the last time we tried to talk about this was frankly a bit embarrassing, we broug
We've been taking a little summer break and this week we're bringing you an episode we recorded in the midst of the Ontario election. As a bulwark against the ongoing trudge into barbarism and cynicism, we've dreamt up some grounded, realistic
This week, Tim and a very congested Steve are joined by indigenous activist and labour organizer Carissa Taylor. A recent transplant to the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations -- also known as Va
Well, it's a month late and an (Australian) dollar short, but we are finally releasing a fascinating conversation with labour organizer (and Shadowfist player) Cameron Watson. From ranked ballot voting to whacky independents and democracray sau
This week, Tim (all by himself) brings you a fascinating conversation about populism with political scientist Simon Black. Tim and Simon discuss how the rhetoric and "thin" political strategy of appealing to working people as a class has been s
Thank god it's over. The election has come and gone and 33% of Ontarians have spoken: we apparently forgot what the last two years have been like and decided we want more of the same -- plus a new highway, I guess. Steve and Tim do their best t
This week we tried to come up with things to say about this dismal, boring election, which seems like it's heading directly into the PC's pockets. In brighter news, the NDP is set to elect more landlords than unionists and the Liberals are accu
This week we took a little listen to the leaders' debates. Steve tries to highlight some better moments and, in typical academic tradition, Tim discusses the futility of debates in general. We discuss some late campaign promises from the NDP an
We're back at it with another campaign update. This week we discuss the northern Ontario leader's debate, some new campaign promises, including the various ways that the platforms overlap (especially the NDP and Liberals). We try our best to ma
The race to the premier's office has begun and we're here to pretend we understand what is going on. This is the first of our four-part weekly election coverage. In this episode, we talk about the major party platforms; the lack of ambition and
It's a long one this week! Tim brought in one of his longtime colleagues and friends, political scientist Blayne Haggart, to explain how Canadian federal budgets work and how this one, specifically, helps (or tries to help) Canadians with housi
After a technical snafu, we were forced to improvise this week and thought: what better way to gear up for election season than to detail the many times Doug Ford let Ontarians down?  CBC: 'I regret going': Protester says he spent life savings
This episode we talk with Ayeza, one of the founders of LiberAsian London, about organizing against hate, organizing on the left in general, and what we can learn from revolutionary optimism.LiberAsian London on Instagram: https://www.instagram
If you're like us, you woke up on Tuesday morning to the breaking news that the NDP and Liberals have entered into a "Supply and Confidence Agreement" that will (hopefully) prevent another election until 2025. In this special bonus episode of t
This was a tough one. Tim and Steve try their best to summarize several decades of Ukrainian struggles for independence and autonomy. We grapple with the reality that there are no easy answers, no good outcomes and very little we can do to help

In this episode, Tim takes us  through a short history of the NDP, from it's beginnings as the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation), through it's various dalliances with centrism and arriving where we are today. Steve tries desperately to
"The difficult second episode" kicks off with our new theme song and a discussion of the new name of the show, based on said theme song. Special thanks to Ron Hawkins and the Lowest of the Low for the inspiration. This week we spent far too muc
After nearly two years of constant arm-twisting, Steve was able to convince Tim to record a podcast. In this first episode, we discuss the current state of COVID-19 in Canada -- namely, that we all need to "get used to it" now, apparently. We s
