May 24, 2026 - Build a fighting Socialist movement

When: May 24th, 9am to 6pm

Capitalism Can't Be Fixed is a conference to bring together supporters, organizers, and activists who want to build on the momentum of the recent leadership campaigns. Capitalism is in deep crisis and the major political parties can't fix it. Capitalism can't be fixed.

The crises we face are only deepening: war, inequality, climate breakdown, colonialism. Our political system will only perpetuate the crises. The militarization of society is no solution. Canada's aggression and role in supporting US imperialism must be countered.

This conference is a chance to take stock of what we've built, hear from speakers, discuss the road ahead and help shape the next phase of organized socialist and anti-imperialist politics in Canada. There must be a united movement for socialism.

May 23, 2026 - New Strategies Against Austerity

When: May 23rd, 7pm
Where: Friend's House, 60 Lowther Ave

Ontario's higher education sector is at a breaking point. From the systematic marketization of colleges and universities to the sustained attack on labour rights, the provincial government's strategy is clear: treat education as a commodity rather than a social good.

Join us for a political discussion as we analyze the Ford government's maneuvers -- including the devastating shift from OSAP grants to loans, the manufactured "international student crisis," and the broader austerity agenda threatening social equality.

We will explore strategies for a labour and community-led response, highlighting ongoing student and labour fightbacks and providing a direct opportunity for attendees to plug into the organizing work necessary to defend, expand, and decommodify our public institutions.
