Left and Leaving is an album by The Weakerthans, released July 25, 2000 on G7 Welcoming Committee Records.
In Chart magazine's 2005 poll of the Top 50 Canadian albums of all time, Left and Leaving ranked in sixth place, behind only Sloan, Joni Mitchell, Broken Social Scene and two albums by Neil Young. It was also nominated for Alternative Album of the Year at the 2001 Juno Awards.
"Aside" appears on the soundtrack of the film Wedding Crashers.
A punked-up alternate version of this album's "My Favourite Chords", retitled "My Favourite Power Chords", appears on G7 Welcoming Committee's 2005 promotional compilation Take Penacilin Now.
