A Tribute: My Father's Daughter

Dedicated to Ian (John) McLean - January 5, 1952 - June 17, 2025

A discussion about passing down working class consciousness through generations and what we choose to do with that knowledge.

To pay tribute Host Jessa McLean's late father we are resharing their interview together from 2023. He shares how he too was politicized at a young age, and how his involvement in the trade union movement shaped how he understood power structures, politics and his own purpose.

Together, they sound off on their own experiences with the NDP, which are unsurprisingly similar.

Jessa would like to thank the great healthcare workers at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto for their care and compassion, as well as the many comrades who have sent their condolences and shared their own memories of her father in the good fight.
