In this conversation host Andre Goulet speaks with Apostolia Petropoulos, the NPDQ candidate for the ethnically diverse riding of Laurier-Dorion, about the triumphs and travails of life on the campaign trail in Montreal's Parc-Extension and Villeray neighbourhoods. Plus: a brief history of nearly 80-years of the NDP in Quebec.
