The new new left


Last night on TV Ontario's The Agenda the topic was The State of the Left. The show opened with Euston Manifesto co-author Shalom Lappin. The guest panelists included Buzz Hargrove of the Canadian Autoworkers, Laurie Adkin, an associate professor of Political Science at the University of Alberta, Corvin Russell, a writer at rabble.ca and Morton Weinfeld, McGill sociology prof and Euston signatory.

The video archive is here. Audio podcasts of the interview and debate are here.

Thanks to Robert G. for the heads up.

Update: The non Eustonite panelists made Morton's point for him with their casual dismissal of the suggestion that we should defend the gains made by the women of Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban. They flatly denied that any improvement has taken place.

In contrast Lauryn Oates in today's Globe contrasts the grim situation today with the horror women faced before.

Don't share a table with the Taliban
