Nov 7, 2026 - Filmscreening: Edward Said: Between Worlds

When: November 7th, 7pm
Where: YWCA, 87 Elm St

Born in Jerusalem in 1935, academic Edward Said spent his life between Jerusalem, Cairo, and New York, becoming one of the 20th century's most influential intellectuals: revered by many, among the sharpest critics of the West, and a fierce advocate for a liberated and self-determined Palestine. Built entirely from archival material, Edward Said: Between Worlds follows Said across seven decades, from his Jerusalem childhood to his death in New York in 2003. Moving through the Nakba of 1948 and the 1993 Oslo Accords, the film shows how a life lived in exile shaped his scholarship and his advocacy.

Nov 6, 2026 - Diagnosing the Threats to Public Care

When: November 6th, 7pm
Where: Owl's Club, 847 Dovercourt Rd

Since its inception, Canadian healthcare has provided the vast majority of Canadians with medical services free at the point of care and provided by both public and private actors. However, this system has long faced compounding challenges, including: cost-containment, chronic health human resource shortages, prolonged wait times and the rise of "hallway medicine", and systemic racism in healthcare delivery.

Over the last few decades, these challenges have increased as federal and provincial governments have clawed back funding, laid off workers, and the use of new forms of private, corporate actors to fill gaps in care.
