- Why Canadian Leftists Should Care about Progressive International w/ Niki Ashton
NDP MP Niki Ashton joins us to talk about her upcoming Progressive International event with former UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. We talk about campaigns like Make Amazon Pay, building global solidarity, and the recent controversies that have clouded this event smearing Corbyn as an antisemite.
Finally, we discuss how to stay hopeful as a leftist in Canada during this pandemic.

38 min - Justin Trudeau Doesn't Want You to Have Medicine
“Left Turn, Canada” is a new Canadian Politics podcast hosted by Christo Aivalis and Andy Borkowski. This weekly show aims to bring a left perspective to Canadian politics, media, economics, and culture that is far too lacking within mainstream print, audio, and visual media. Christo and Andy bring years of experience in both traditional and new media.Our first show is all about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his recent endeavour to ensure you don’t get medicine for free, despite the fact the Liberal party has been promising Pharmacare for nearly 20 years. We also discuss the legacy of Donald Trump and ask the question, would our blackface wearing PM have won the federal election in 2019 if it wasn’t for Trump?
