About this episode
Next week's provincial election inspired this episode which is about an election campaign that was fought in the riding of St. Andrew all the way back in 1955. This race was significant because the local Tory candidate wanted to defeat the last communist MPP at Queen’s Park. This campaign was about what it meant to be a communist elected official and it reflected a ferocious debate that was taking place within the Toronto Jewish community about who they should support and about who would support them.You can follow Muddy York on Twitter: Toronto_History, Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/muddyyork.bsky.social and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muddyyorkhistory/.Music:Argonne - Zachariah HickmanDover - The WesterliesClassic 1985 Movie Soundtrack - Freedom Trail StudioLooping Ascent - Joel CumminsResolve - Joel CumminsAllégro - Emmit FennEarth Appears - Brian BolgerE Minor Prelude - Chopin
