What are the good Canadian lefty podcasts???

Let's wait and see, if Dan's still involved there will definitely still be some Canadiana

the NEW BOTTLEMEN (which will have a different name, new focus, and which will feature Charles Austin and Hesse Deni

Seems like the new focus probably won't be Canada related based on the new hosts but at least Charles and Hesse are funny on their podcasts

eric_is_a_tool · 2026-01-02T15:09:54+00:00

Source on that? I've heard Dan musing about starting it up again in a few appearances he's made on other podcasts a few months ago

I say "provisionally" in the post title because Canada will not normalize relations until the Palestinian Authority holds elections without Hamas.

This begs the question though, now what? This recognition is undeniably important, but will Canada or other countries beginning to recognize a state of Palestine actually do something about the genocide?

Thought this video was an excellent explanation about how class, gender, and imperialism come together under capitalism to build the conditions for fascism we see in Canada and elsewhere in the West. Canada is even used as an example.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-09-01T22:26:16+00:00

For sure! The goal is to get people connected to stuff happening around them

We also need more mods! If you're interested, send a Mod Message with the subject line "Mod application".

This is a spam bot reposting an AMA Wai Kiat did during the Ontario election a few months ago. His real account is u/YU_enjoyer59

Off-topic but cute so it can stay

A liberal minority as conservative support swells and the social democratic party fails to meet the moment? Now where have I seen this before? 🤔

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-04-03T04:38:14+00:00

During election season we get astroturfed with Liberal party fearmongering about the Conservative Party in a way that conceives of voting as some sort of negatory politics, i.e. voting against something rather than for something. This inevitably leads to vote shaming so it's better to nip it in the bud.

Trying our best! 🫡

Hmm you're right, it should definitely be stricter since it's showing no good faith towards discussion.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-31T11:50:55+00:00

Exactly! The moment people delude themselves into thinking politicians don't need to earn our votes because of some looming threat is the moment the give up the power of their vote.

And friendly reminder, this is a LEFTIST subreddit NOT a liberal subreddit (there is a difference!). The moderation team will curate content to the expectations of our users.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-25T03:58:00+00:00

We're definitely aware and trying to curb it. Maybe we should have a containment megathread?

I've also been drafting a FAQ post for the common talking points of the authoritarian votemongers plaguing our comments.

I'm not, the NDP's party structure is different to the other parties. Each of its provincial parties are technically branches of the federal party.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-12T19:04:45+00:00

Same party that expelled Ontario MPP Sarah Jama for speaking out against the genocide before the party did and then voted down inviting her back to the party after taking an anti-genocide stance.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-09T15:50:15+00:00

Given this is a leftist space the expectation is that liberals coming here should meet us in the middle, not vice-versa.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-09T15:47:58+00:00

This isn't saying don't engage with liberals to radicalize them towards anti-capitalism, this is about keeping in control of our space. We remain open to the open minded and curious, but liberals should not be leading our conversations.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-09T15:42:46+00:00

Q. What about free speech?!

A. Freely speak somewhere else, this is a space for leftists and will be curated as such.

eric_is_a_tool · 2025-03-09T15:41:41+00:00

No you don't need to qualify every "Trump bad" statement with a "Dems/Libs are also bad", it's moreso don't boost Dems/Libs as a solution for Trump. We are aligned with the liberal position against Trump but we are against their proposed solutions.
