Welcome back to "Building Left," the podcast where we explore the evolving role of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and leftist politics in Canada. In this episode, hosts Jaime Frederick and Kallee Lins delve into what has been a revealing parliamentary session for the NDP, exploring their robust opposition to a conservative-leaning agenda since the session began on May 27th.
With King Charles' historic speech from the throne setting the stage, the NDP has made significant opposing moves on pivotal pieces of legislation, such as Bills C-2 and C-5, positioning themselves as the voice of true opposition. From defending the rights of refugees, to demonstrating solidarity with Gaza, the NDP is positioning itself as the steadfast voice for progressive politics in Canada.
