Woodworth and the gang at the founding of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (which would become the NDP), and on June 13th, 2025 it was The Alberta Advantage, Shama Rangwala, André Goulet, Roberta Lexier and Rob Rousseau saying goodbye to the NDP with a brief history of the Party and discussing the possibilities of a socialist project to come.
