Show Notes

In this episode, Tim takes us  through a short history of the NDP, from it's beginnings as the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation), through it's various dalliances with centrism and arriving where we are today. Steve tries desperately to contextualize this within the frame of US politics amidst his limited knowledge of history.
