  • Must listen

    Essential listen for anyone interested in leftist politics. Probably my favourite podcast. Hosts are very knowledgeable and funny. The episode on small businesses and zionism were life changing!

  • The website doesn't introduce the speakers and they introduce themselves with only first names. I like the topics but how do I know what background is informing the conversation so that I can actually learn from what is shared.

    When I don't have an understanding who these people are I would have to go and research everything they say. I'm already researching to the max to function in life in other areas so I'm not going to add a podcast into my life that's totally unsubstantiated.

  • So good

    I adore this podcast. The histories and insights into Albertan but also Canadian politics in general are fantastic. I’m especially intrigued by the wayward NDP, which you track with both incisive criticism and (some) sympathy. Please do a Bob Rae ep! Bravo from an ex-Pat in NYC!

Colonialism and Capitalism: Bryan Palmer on Canadian History

A left nationalism could have an anti-colonial character if it recognizes the separate interests of workers and Indigenous peoples.
