Battling Harper:
The Left and the Canadian Election
As the Canadian federal election moves into its final days, the  
Canadian electorate is again demonstrating its historical volatility  
in voting.

Yet, this is again occurring within the context of a very stable  
political system with extremely cramped ideological parameters. These  
parameters are noteworthy mainly for how successfully the political  
right has moved the centre of Canada's politics and policy regime to  
the right and made neoliberalism an all-embracing political framework  
for all the poltical parties in ideology and certainly in practice.

Bryan Evans and Greg Albo here discuss some of the ways that the  
election, in the midst of financial crisis, has opened up space for  
critiques of neoliberalism, how the election has unfolded, and the  
openings for the Left after the election.
