Seventy-eight years ago, on August 6, 1945, the US dropped a uranium-enriched fission bomb, code named ‘Little Boy’, on the Japanese port city, Hiroshima. Three days later, they dropped a second bomb, a plutonium-implosion device — Fat Man — on Nagasaki. When the dust settled, between 130 and 225,000 people were dead or dying.
To this day, casualty numbers vary widely. One thing is clear: almost all were civilians. Thousands more would sicken and die in the years to come. America’s public rationale for its nuclear bombing of Japan: avoiding the huge casualties that would supposedly have resulted from putting boots on Japanese soil. Other, more cynical reasons would emerge in time.
This is a story about America’s development of Little Boy and Fat Man, featuring interviews with German-American nuclear physicist Hans Bethe, head of the theoretical physics division of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where America’s first nuclear ‘device’, Trinity, was developed, and the winner of the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physics. Host David Kattenburg interviewed Bethe in his office at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York.
You’ll also hear from Martin Johns, late Professor Emeritus of physics at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario, and researcher at Canada’s Chalk River nuclear facility, about the history of Canada’s involvement in the development of America’s nuclear bombs.

For seven years, from 1968 to 1975, one eighteen story high-rise was the heart of Canada’s counterculture. Rochdale College in Toronto, ON, was jammed full with leftist organizers, hippies, draft dodgers, students, artists, and others just looking for a good time. Although, Rochdale wasn’t really a “college.” It was something much bigger: a political, educational, communal, artistic, and psychedelic experiment. During its time, it was endlessly lambasted by conservatives and leftists alike–until it reached its inglorious end.
Today, like much of the counterculture, it’s often remembered for its problems: its ideological contradictions, drug-addled hedonism, bourgeois individualism, sexism, suicide, and more. However, is that the whole story? Were the kids in the hippie highrise onto something, …or was it indeed just one giant waste of time?

Chris Smalls was a worker at an Amazon packing facility in Staten Island when he was fired from the company for speaking out about unsafe working conditions during the pandemic. About a year later, he was instrumental in the creation of the first Amazon union in US history after a long fight with the union-busting corporate giant.
Smalls eventually became the face of the movement and the architect behind “new school of labour” that changed the face of what labour leadership looks like and how workers can fight for their rights—even in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
Since the union’s victory, Smalls has been trying to use the momentum to continue to push for workers to organize at other Amazon facilities and elsewhere, telling them, “you only lose if you give up.” On a new episode of Press Progress Sources he joins host Rumneek Johal to talk about paving the way forward for workers.
This conversation was recorded live at the Broadbent Institute's 2023 Progress Summit in Ottawa.

A social technology company is working with police across Canada to create reports that justify the need for a new approach to the “social safety net.
”Helpseeker, a Calgary-based ‘social impact’ firm, has been hired to produce reports for police in Edmonton, Vancouver and Ottawa, raising questions about the involvement of police in the delivery of social services.Many of the reports from Helpseeker have placed an inflated price tag on the “social safety net” in various cities, arguing for a reconfiguration of the funds invested into vulnerable communities.
In Edmonton, City Councillor Michael Janz says that Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee has spoken at length about the “money in the system,” and the billions being spent on the delivery of social services. However, Janz notes that in Edmonton, the growth in the police budget has far exceeded the pace of growth in funding for any other civic department.“Homelessness is not a crime problem. It's a mental health problem. It's an addiction problem. It's a trauma problem.”
Janz , Edmonton City Councillor for Ward papastew, joins host Rumneek Johal to talk about Helpseeker Technologies social services reports, as well as the broader trends across Canada to expand the scope of policing and increase police budgets.

On Fernwood Publishing's 30th anniversary podcast THIRTYWOOD host Nora Loreto discusses new book 'Frequently Asked White Questions' with authors Alex Khasnabish and Ajay Parasram.
Ajay Parasram is a multigenerational transnational byproduct of the British empire, with roots in South Asia, the Caribbean and the settler cities of Halifax, Ottawa and Vancouver. He is an associate professor in the Departments of International Development Studies, History and Political Science at Dalhousie University in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), unceded Mi’kma’ki. His research interests surround the colonial present, or the many ways through which strings of historical colonial entanglements continue to tighten the limit of political action today, and how those strings might be undone.
Alex Khasnabish is a writer, researcher and teacher committed to collective liberation living in Halifax, on unceded and unsurrendered Mi’kmaw territory. He is a professor in sociology and anthropology at Mount Saint Vincent University. His research focuses on radical imagination, radical politics, social justice and social movements.
Hosted and produced by Nora Loreto with music is by General Khan.
Technocracy is the idea that experts should govern. For the common good, presumably. It makes a certain amount of sense, given how irrational our politics seem to be right now. So, technocracy is seductive.
In fact, it’s an idea as old as politics itself. On this episode Darts & Letters begins the first of a three-part series telling stories of technocracies past, present, and future.
In this first part, Ira Basen tells the story of Technocracy, Inc. This 1930s movement aimed to install non-democratic North American “technate” where we only work from the ages of 25 to 45, for 16 hours a week. It might surprise you to learn that Elon Musk’s grandfather was one of its leaders. Basen produced an extended CBC: Ideas documentary on the movement, and it’s worth checking out.
Then, perhaps the most influential intellectual today: Noam Chomsky. What is the place of technical expertise in a radical left project? Chomsky’s famous “Responsibility of Intellectuals” is one of the best critiques of the liberal technocratic intelligentsia. However, his lesser-known writing on Mikhail Bakunin’s predictions about how the Marxist intellectual vanguard would “beat the people with the people’s stick” offers a warning to left technocrats. We have a wide-ranging conversation with Professor Chomsky on his critique of intellectuals, the place of technical expertise in a radical left project, his anarchist theory of expertise, and his thoughts on popular reason and popular intelligence.
This is part of a wider series on techno-utopian thinking, produced with professors Tanner Mirrlees and Imre Szemen. For a full list of credits, contact information and more visit www.dartsandletters.ca

What are the the overlaps between anti-feminist rhetoric and activism with fascism? What is feminist populism? What can we learn from the resistance to Poland's abortion ban in a post-Roe v Wade America? What does the rise of the anti-feminist movement mean for a country like Canada that is wedded to its image as a gender-equal country? On a new Anti Girlboss Socialist Club co-host Paniz Khosroshahy interviews Agnieszka Graff about her open-access book 'Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment' (Routledge 2021), co-authored with Elżbieta Korolczuk.
Agnieszka Graff is an associate professor at the American Studies Center, University of Warsaw. Her articles have appeared in Signs, East European Politics and Societies, Public Culture, European Journal of Women’s Studies as well as a number of collected volumes. She co-edited the Spring 2019 issue of Signs on Gender and the Rise of the Global Right. Graff is a feminist activist and public intellectual, regular contributor to liberal and left-wing media outlets and the author of four books of feminist essays in Polish, including World without Women and Mother and Feminist. She is a founding member of the Manifa movement, and an active participant of Polish Women’s Congress as well as the ongoing feminist protests.

On a new episode of Tech Won't Save Us' monthly series focusing on technology in Canada, Paris Marx is joined by Fenwick McKelvey to discuss how the massive outage at Rogers has challenged the narrative that more competition will fix Canada’s telecom sector, why we need better regulations and how consumers would benefit from public ownership.

Researchers with the best of intentions still get things wrong. “Who made you the expert” is a valid question that research subjects might ask… and frankly, they’re right to ask that. If you’re, say, a drug user in Vancouver’s downtown east side you probably don’t want some guy from Harvard telling you what paternalistic research he’s doing on you. You want to be a partner in research done with you.
So what does it look like when the old paternalistic ways are dispensed of? Garth Mullins hosts Crackdown, a podcast about the drug war in Vancouver covered by the drug users themselves. Gordon talks to him about being the researcher and the researched in the downtown east side, a place where activists and academics have come together to develop better methods.
We also talk to Michelle Fine of City University of New York. She’s a leading proponent of “critical participatory action research“. That’s a way of researching that de-centres the academic. We find out the theory, and what that means for expertise more broadly.
Special thanks to Samona Marsh, one of the authors of Research 101: A process for developing local guidelines for ethical research in heavily researched communities, and also to Liz Dozier of Chicago Beyond. Liz and Samona’s work was really important to this episode even if we couldn’t get their voices to air.

The overturning of Roe v Wade in the US puts the spotlight back on the politics of abortion. David speaks with Jocelyn Piercy about the movement organizing that eventually led to the decriminalization of abortion in so-called Canada and defeated the Mulroney Tory government's attempt to recriminalize it, and in particular the work of the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics. This experience is relevant today as we face emboldened right-wing forces intent on replacing liberal sexual and gender rights with its reactionary sexual hegemony.

Inspired by the recently released sixth season of The Kids in the Hall, Naomi and Aaron talk about this legendary sketch comedy show (1988-1995). We discuss the Kids' paths to becoming comic actors, and how the show was too dark for us to appreciate when we were kids ourselves. We breakdown some of their most notorious sketches, including Cabbage Head and The Chicken Lady, and pay special attention to their unfairly maligned feature film, Brain Candy (1996), which is actually very good! Finally, we consider the dangers of cultural nostalgia and decide that we'll do it anyway.

In the 1980s and 1990s, free trade and economic integration were intensely debated topics and the subject of debate in national elections, and generally opposed by the political left. Most recently, right-populist political formations — like Trump and Brexit — have resurfaced the issue of free trade, critiquing it for their own purposes.
Why is it that nobody except the political right wants to talk about free trade anymore, especially when our countries have strategic decisions on the horizon— like resourcing pandemic responses and mitigating climate change?

CW: sterilization, sexualized violence & explicit language
Throughout Canadian history provincial governments have worked to control the sexuality and reproduction of people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. For fifty years, Alberta’s Sexual Sterilization Act (1928), made it legal to sterilize people labelled with intellectual disabilities without their consent. More than 2,834 people in the Alberta were subject to involuntary sexual sterilization surgery, but experts say this is just the tip of the iceberg. And today, access to sexual and reproductive rights for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities continues to be compromised by both ableism and institutionalization.
Featuring Dr. Claudia Malacrida, Dr. Alan Santinele Martino & institutional survivors.

The war in Ukraine has brought nuclear technology to the forefront. There’s the threat of nuclear weapons, and the danger of nuclear power plants melting down under military fire. Yet, the nuclear industry also promises to deliver us from our dependency on fossil fuels. It’s an interesting duality with nuclear: is it the end of the world, or is it salvation? Professor Jessica Hurley, author of Infrastructures of Apocalypse: American Literature and the Nuclear Complex, walks us through the history of nuclear dystopia and nuclear utopia, and how they have always been closely connected.
Also: happy Earth Day, even though we are not feeling particularly optimistic about the state of our planet. The war in Ukraine has brought environmental politics front-and-centre, with countries racing to extricate themselves from Russian oil and gas. Yet, in Canada, we are seeing industry push to ramp up dirty tar sands production. How will the war change energy policy? We wonk out and get into the nitty-gritty of the state of climate policy with, Mark Winfield.

In his book ‘Saving the City: The Challenge of Transforming a Modern Metropolis’ journalist Daniel Sanger delivers equal parts reportage, oral history and memoir chronicling what grassroots eco-socialist municipal political party Projet Montreal did right, where it failed, and where it’s headed, drawn from his own experience working closely with the party for almost a decade.
On this episode he joins host Andre Goulet for a conversation exploring the personalities and policies behind the rise to power of the most progressive Canadian municipal political movement in recent memory, and examines what the future might hold for their ambitious agenda to transform Montreal into a green, human-scale city.

The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is receiving the second highest increase in their budget in the city's history, with an additional $45 million dollars this year. Just last month, the SPVM announced that they went over budget in 2021 by $51 million. The city of Montreal has agreed to pay this, but what will stop them from going over budget again in 2022? And despite 73% of Montrealers in favour of defunding the police, will we see another increase next year? Local 514 investigates.....

In Short Circuit's first episode hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused more Toronto residents to use food banks than ever before, including 1.45 million visits last year. Job insecurity, rising rents, and predatory landlord practices have contributed to Toronto's ever-widening wealth gap, forcing people to forgo buying food to pay their rent.
Tenants at the West Lodge apartments in Parkdale have been able to occupy a one-bedroom apartment that they've converted into a food and clothing bank. Carranco spoke to three tenants who volunteer and use the food bank about the organizing they've done, the community they've built, and how its core concept is to challenge capitalist ideals.
Jennifer Evans has been volunteering with food banks across the downtown core since 2018. She's helped organize thousands of meals for the unhoused, families and single tenants. In an in-depth interview, Evans describes the need for more financial assistance and a universal basic income so Torontonians can afford to live equitably in Canada's most expensive city.

Has the pandemic taught us anything? As we look forward and imagine what the future might look like, we like to think ‘next time will be different.’ But, if we don’t take a serious look back, it won’t. Not as long as the people who made this pandemic so bad face zero consequences. In this episode of Darts and Letters, John Nichols says it’s time for a COVID reckoning. His new book is Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers: Accountability for Those Who Caused the Crisis. Nichols, who is also national affairs correspondent of the Nation, retraces his reporting – revealing how so many suffered while others made out like gangbusters. Plus, we ask: could it have been different?

North Untapped digs deeper into topics covered in articles written by The Maple contributors and other Canadian journalists, exploring politics, foreign policy, imperialism and history from a socialist perspective in conversation with editor-in-chief Alex Cosh.
On the 4th installment of the show's 'Great Guilded North' series Cosh speaks with journalist Cassandra Kislenko about how Canada facilitated one of the worst acts of violence against Indigenous People in this continent's history.
Episode background:
Nova Scotia-born Izaak Walton Killam made his millions through pulp, paper and hydro-electric projects across Latin America. His Montreal-based International Power company controlled a monopoly on electrical power in El Salvador and charged extremely high rates on the country’s exploited workers.
When Indigenous peasants began an organized uprising in 1932, Killam called in a personal favour to protect his capital. This would end in a civilian massacre that would usher in decades of military dictatorship, and ultimately help establish prestigious cornerstones of Canadian arts, culture and academics.

The 1940s saw Canada's socialist party soar in popularity, with the CCF forming official opposition in Ontario in 1943, and public opinion polls showing nationalizing industries to be widely popular across the country. How did the popularity of the CCF's positions get diffused, managed, or attacked in the years following the Second World War?

The first annual Dumb Book Awards turns the page on 2021 as Washington Post columnist David Moscrop and Jacobin staff writer Luke Savage join host Gordon Katic to review the mostly mediocre 'The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War', Pete Buttigieg’s totally terrible 'Trust: America’s Best Chance' and more.

SHOW NOTES:
First, (@4:09) the two Michaels and Meng affair gripped Canada and the world for the better part of three years. Could a single book capture the intricacies, context, and implications of that behemoth geopolitical moment? Washington Post columnist, podcaster and Darts and Letters show-notes writer/guy writing this sentence David Moscrop argues…maybe. But it’s certainly not The Two Michaels: Innocent Canadian Captives and High Stakes Espionage in the US-China Cyber War by Mike Blanchfield and Fen Osler Hampson.
Then, (@17:39) some argue trust is the glue that holds society together. But what if a book mangled the concept and mobilized it with a series of vapid phrases designed to superficially inspire centrists as only such a book–and maybe an episode of the West Wing–could? And what if that same book was written by one of the least trustworthy people in politics? Jacobin staff writer and co-host of the podcast Michael and Us Luke Savage makes the case for Pete Buttigieg’s Trust: America’s Best Chance.
Finally, (@29:01) the left needs to understand and contend with serious, right-wing books that seek to chart the course for the future of the ideology. Scholar, PillPod podcaster, and writer Matt McManus has found two offerings that are…not that. But they need to be reckoned with in their own way anyway. He takes down Ben Shapiro’s The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America’s Institutions Against Dissent and Mark Levin’s American Marxism.

On this episode of AGSC, Tamsyn and Paniz are joined by...each other, to talk about the reason they first met years ago: campus sexual assault, and the profound uselessness of the university administrators getting paid to address it. Having spent many years organizing, researching, and writing about the issue since then, they have seen how universities spend all their time and money on programs like consent education and sweeping policy change, without seeing any actual reduction in the number of students being assaulted on their campuses. Paniz and Tamsyn talk about why these neoliberal approaches don’t meet survivors’ actual (namely, material) needs or take into account the role of power in sexual violence - and what we can do instead.

Often, those criticizing militarism are labeled disrespectful.

On an early episode of Sweater Weather host Aaron Giovannone speaks with Sam Gindin, co-author of modern classic The Making of Global Capitalism (2012), as well as the more recent but no less essential The Socialist Challenge Today (2020) both co-written with his long-time friend and colleague Leo Panitch. From 1974-2000, Sam was the director of research at the Canadian Auto Workers union, now Unifor, the largest private sector union in Canada.
Sam is an internationally recognized authority on political economy and social movements, and he frequently writes and speaks about socialism in a global context—but he’s Canadian, so I was keen to hear what he had to say about the battle on the home front. We talk about Canada’s place in the global capitalist system, about Canada’s possibilities for economic nationalism, about Canadian unions and the working class, the Green New Deal versus Green Capitalism, and his promising efforts with a worker-led project called Green Jobs Oshawa.
Aaron and Sam also talk about the Canadian manifestations of the left populist up-welling in recent years, which he thinks was (unfortunately) captured by the Trudeau Liberals. And we’ll address that age-old question for Canadian socialists: to NDP, or not to NDP.

On this episode:
Host Andre Goulet makes the risky decision to look for answers regarding a suspicious and baffling death in Canada's political community on the mean streets of Gatineau with Inspector Abdul Malik & Israeli International Peace Operations Trainee Eytan Tobin (OFFCOURT).
Then: the Harbinger Special Victims Unit elite squad (Superintendent Marino Greco, Sergeant Jeremy Appel & Community Liaison Eric Wickham of BIG SHINY TAKES) convenes at Ottawa PD headquarters to examine the evidence as they desperately search for the culprit in the untimely death of the Canadian Greens.
Plus: Harbinger Atlantic correspondent James Brown makes the case for a Green Party revival from rural Prince Edward Island on a new Solitary Thoughts.
In a special two part investigation hosts Abdul Malik and Eytan Tobin discuss the life and tragedy of Pat Tillman, an American football player who left his professional career and enlisted in the United States Army after the September 11 attacks. Tillman was subsequently killed by friendly fire in 2004 in the US war in Afghanistan and a cover-up of his death was coordinated by both the military and U.S. Government.
In this conversation Malik and Tobin discuss the history of war and international interventionism in Afghanistan as a parallel to Pat's football career as his path took him to enlistment and his eventual tragic death. 'Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman, Jon Krakauer 2009 book, serves as a guide for the discussion.
This episode focuses on Pat Tillman's pre-enlistment career, Afghanistan in the 80's and 90's, and the beginning of the Bush Administration's war on terror.

On ep36 of Habibti Please Nashwa Khan and Geneviève Nevin host Jeremy Corbyn and Paul Rogers in advance of Selling Death: Why the International Arms Trade Must be Controlled, an upcoming event hosted by Egypt Watch and Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project. Join Jeremy Corbyn, Paul Rogers, and Geneviève at the event on Saturday, July 17th, 2021, at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and 4 p.m. London time here.
This episode explores the arms trade and why we must move towards disarmament. The international arms trade fuels forever wars, bloody occupations, and the military-industrial complex. The detritus of war and occupation will linger long after militaries leave the countries they ravage. As this episode highlights, COVID-19 serves as a canary in the coal mine; a warning for how things can only get worse if change does not happen now. A virus cannot be nuked, yet the rush to create and sell arms from the imperial core has continued without challenge even during the pandemic.
The Corbyn Peace and Justice Project illustrates why domestic and international problems and injustices cannot be separated. We also explore how we build solidarity beyond borders and across communities.
This episode also draws links between the arms trade, the climate crisis, and other ongoing struggles, including the growing number of refugees. Industrialists selling weapons and war promoters are akin to the mythical hydra, where chopping off one head sprouts another. This hydra is a monster, directly supported by Western governments. And blowback is to be expected. Continued death and destruction fuelled by the imperial core through tradecraft will have global consequences,
Now, more than ever, we must stand in solidarity to stop our governments from funding mass death throughout the world.

This is a public excerpt from ep32 of Habibti Please. Get access to the full conversation with Vincent Bevins at habibtiplease.substack.com/subscribe
The austerity measures that were first implemented during the pandemic will not ease post-pandemic. Global vaccine apartheid continues to exist and it seems that only those in North America with relations outside of North America or to communities. It feels eerily familiar for people who straddle worlds to be aware that “back to normal” means back to normal for people completely detached from the global reality of how COVID continues to ravage people outside of the imperial core.
This episode takes a look at how the world we all now came to be. One where vaccine apartheid is normalized for so many. One where extermination programs and coups are staples. In this episode Shaadie and Nashwa interview Vincent Bevins, author of the Jakarta Method. Nashwa and Shaadie approached this episode with the thought and care they approach other work with. They wanted to honor those who died and survived the mass extermination in Indonesia while also weaving our own understanding as young Muslims of the world into this episode.
Bevins book Jakarta Method is an accessible must-read about the United State's role in constructing a global anti-communist network. In 1965 and 1966, the Indonesian military killed one million civilians and with praise and enthusiasm from the American government. It was an apocalyptic slaughter of leftists and accused leftists. As Bevins writes, this series of events was instrumental in shaping our global economic system as it exists today. As beneficiaries of US hegemony, it is important to recognize this gap in collective memory and the responsibilities we have.

On this episode hosts Scott Schmidt and Jeremy Appel welcome former Crown prosecutor, National Observer contributor and OPPO co-host Sandy Garossino to the show to discuss her life, work and recent reporting on the anti-Alberta inquiry which has garnered national attention.
*At one point in the episode, Scott and Jeremy ask Sandy about her past support for TMX. It was an on-the-spot question and she requested after the interview that this note be added to her answer:
“Indigenous land issues should be paramount. I have often said and still believe that the community benefit agreements with First Nations are far too skinny. That so little money flows to First Nations suggests too little bargaining power, and, ergo, a colonial holdover. I could not support forcing a pipeline onto an unwilling First Nations community.” — Sandy Garossino

Il paraît qu'Hubert Reeves a déjà essayé d'expliquer QAnon, pis il a pogné une solide migraine. On cale une bouteille d'Advil et on s'essaie à notre tour.
'Faisez vos recherches!' is a production of Ricochet Media Francais.
On episode 8 of Sweater Weather, host Aaron Giovannone talks to Ian McKay, professor of history at McMaster University and director of the L.R. Wilson Institute for Canadian History on an absolute gem of an episode and a must watch for every Canadian leftist craving a comprehensive historical perspective on socialism and social movements in this country.
Plus: talking about liberalism and Prof. McKay’s now classic essay, “The Liberal Order Framework: A Prospectus for a Reconnaissance of Canadian History” which frames Canadian history as the progress of a ‘passive revolution’ towards liberalism as it became the dominant ideology in Canada. With this groundwork in place, we proceed to dig into the details of his fascinating analyses of Canadian socialism, at times a competitor to liberalism, as laid out in another of his influential papers, “For a New Kind of History: A Reconnaissance of 100 Years of Canadian Socialism.”
McKay is the author and co-author of numerous books and articles about the Canadian left, including Reasoning Otherwise: Leftists and the People’s Enlightenment in Canada, 1890-1920, as well as Rebels, Reds, Radicals: Rethinking Canada’s Left History.

On a new Big Shiny Takes hosts Eric Wickham, Marino Greco and Jeremy Appel sit down with Palestine House board member and psychotherapist Hammam Farah (@HumHum83) and Israeli-Canadian pal and OffCourt and Drum Circle Jerk co-host Eytan Tobin (@RabbiDieHardman) to explore how Israel, like Canada, is a fake ass genocidal settler state.
For those who haven’t been paying attention, Israel recently attacked Gaza killing about 250 people, including dozens of children, after provoking violence at al-Aqsa Mosque. And this time something feels different. People are actually taking Palestinian perspectives seriously.
But over at Postmedia, of course, it’s business as usual. On this episode the panel talk about two Sun columns that regurgitate the usual Hasbara talking points about how Israel is never wrong and you’re all a bunch of anti-Semites.

Are the NDP merely liberals in a bit of a rush? Team Advantage examines Gary Teeple's 1972 essay, 'Liberals in a hurry': socialism and the CCF-NDP. What role does the Fabian Society have in shaping the thought of the CCF, and later, the NDP? Can real socialist change be made through technocratic changes or parliamentary methods? Is moralizing about capitalism's ill effects a useful way of bringing about political change?

Minnesota is often called the most Canadian state in the U.S. and given the fact a pipeline corporation is working closely with the police to arrest and harass their political opponents we're inclined to agree. On this episode of The Progress Report Alleen Brown of the Intercept joins host Duncan Kinney to discuss how Alberta-based pipeline corporation Enbridge is funding and supplying police in Minnesota in order to quash Indigenous-led resistance to the Line 3 pipeline.

In this double feature, Nashwa and Ryan sit down with Patricio Dávila and Phil Zigman of RenovtictionsTO and Cole Webber of Parkdale Organize to discuss the state of renovictions in Ontario and how residents and tenant organizers have been working together to resist and fight back. One example is West Lodge Tenants organizing a food bank and winning space from their massive corporate landlord to host it out of. We also have witnessed rent strikes in the city.
Support Keep Your Rent and People’s Defence Toronto, both groups are mentioned on the show and doing amazing work. We also suggest people use and share the Toronto Covid Evictions Tracker if they or their comrades are facing evictions. Anti-eviction action and organizing has an important history. In the second year of the Great Depression, it was so intense that evictions effectively stopped in New York, Detroit, and Chicago. Solidarity to those fighting evictions, upcoming episodes looking at the Farmer’s protests, and COVID-19 in India.
Although this episode is not paywalled we would deeply appreciate it if people would share or give (if able to do so) to the fundraiser for The East York 50: this fundraiser was set up to help support a group of 50 immigrant families slated to be evicted.

PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF BIG SHINY TAKES!
Marino, Eric and Jeremy are joined by the great Nora Loreto to review columns by two incredibly talentless hacks: Konrad Yakabuski and Kelly McParland.
Yakabuski covers Quebec in a completely addled column which is both infuriating and disorienting. He manages to jam in references to Mordecai Richler, Matt Green, Amir Attaran, The University of Ottawa, The Bosnian War, and a specific word that he seems particularly annoyed about not being allowed to say, but he doesn't seem to know what point he's trying to make in this column. It's truly terrible and possibly the only memorable thing Konrad has ever managed to do in his whole life.
Meanwhile McParland tries to use this pandemic as a vehicle to advocate for all us young people to rely less on the government because someone was sent to the wrong address for a vaccination. It's really stupid and the whole thing really just doesn't go over well.
We take the time to talk about Brian Lilley's romantic life (yuck), professional life (also yuck) and where they overlap, We also discuss Dan Marino (no, not that Dan Marino) and how much responsibility he should take for the latest COVID wave hitting Quebec City.

In 2001, a campaign to reconstitute the NDP into a new party emerged, calling itself the New Politics Initiative. It proposed a party with stronger links with social movements and the anti-globalization campaigns that had been growing over the previous years, and had some high-profile spokespeople. What happened with this initiative? What was the response from within the NDP? Can anything be learned from this effort to reshape the NDP towards a more explicitly left-wing vision?

The boys are back with two trash columns. One is written by a pretentious hack desperately shoehorning disjointed allusions to ephemera rattling around his decaying brain in yet another unfocused rant ending with him shouting about climate change not being real. The other is written by an unpretentious hack who actually thinks that COVID quarantine hotels are an attack on civil liberties.
Of course we are talking about Rex Murphy and Joe Warmington - truly two of the dimmest bulbs in the malfunctioning highway diner sign that is the Canadian media landscape.

In this episode, Nashwa sits down with Vicky Osterweil, the author of In Defense of Looting. Nashwa interviews Vicky about her entry into left politics, her newest book, the politics of looting while also exploring the limits of electoral politics, and so much more. Nashwa and Vicky cover a range of topics including the history of looting, and whiteness as property. They also dive into liberation movements, armed self-defence, Black radical tradition, and the micro-moments in uprisings/riots. In our small worlds we can do the things that the government will not and Osterweil reminds us of the openness we should have to multiple tactics. Osterweil articulates the potential we have to build power in the streets while mapping a history of eviction defence, debt abolition, and a broader set of tactics deployed in tandem with looting. Osterweil’s smart and poignant insights into the contradictions of liberalism offer listeners a foundation to desire more.

On this re-presentation of a December episode of the world's only anti-free speech podcast, National Post columnist John Ivison is mad at Churchill—Keewatinook Aski MP Niki Ashton and Nanaimo—Ladysmith MP Paul Manly for their support of a proposal to free Huawei heiress Meng Wanzhou, arrested by Canadian police in December, 2018 at the behest of the Trump administration.
In this conversation Harbinger Society host Andre Goulet joins Big Shiny Takes' Jeremy Appel, Marino Greco and Eric Wickham to hate-read the column, unpack Ivison's invocation of Lenin (or was it Stalin?) to declare the two MPs "useful idiots" and critique anti-China neo-McCarthyism in Canadian media.
