Full comment podcast – Uniting the left

By June 21, 2010March 18th, 2020No Comments

Regular readers of this blog will recall that I was invited by the National Post to participate in their series of reflections on the idea of a coalition uniting the Liberals and the NDP. Subsequently the Post asked me and Michael Byers to participate in a podcast discussion about the coalition idea as part of their Full Comment series. Click here to listen.

Should the Liberals throw in the towel and merge with the New Democrats? Are post-election governing coalitions like the one in the United Kingdom right for Canada? Is it time to treat Bloc Québécois MPs as something other than pariahs? Brian Lee Crowley of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and UBC political science professor Michael Byers, join Chris Selley to discuss Canada’s political future.
