Oct 4, 2026 - Marxism and the National Question

When: October 4, 1-5 p.m.
Where: Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil Street and on zoom

Imperialism has created a pecking order of oppressor and oppressed nations which shapes our world in profound ways. Canada, founded on the theft of Indigenous lands and the conquest of Quebec, is a "prison of nations".

What can we learn from the writings of Marx, Lenin and Luxemburg on this question? What does the experience of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath tell us about the connection between struggles for national liberation and international working class revolution? Join us for a discussion of insights and strategies the classical Marxist tradition offers revolutionaries in the Canadian state today.

Oct 4, 2026 - Community Breakfast and Rally

When: October 4th, 9am
Where: Food Terminal, 125 The Queensway

Canada has a strategy to solve food insecurity: fund more farms for "local production." But we know millions of dollars in agricultural products leave Canada to go to the US and elsewhere, and are grown, harvested, and packaged by migrant farmworkers.

Join us on Sunday October 4 for a hearty breakfast and community rally as we remind the industry and our government who puts food on Canadian (and global) tables, and what it means to fund the companies who exploit them.

Oct 3, 2026 - Filmscreening: Land of Canaan

When: Saturday, October 3rd, 5:45pm
Where: TIFF Lightbox, Cinema 1

Land of Canaan is an environmental portrait immersing viewers in the lives of Palestinian farmers and their ancient olive trees -- living symbols of heritage and land stewardship. The film follows Dr. Nasser Abufarha's return to the occupied West Bank, where he finds the olive harvest industry in crisis and leads a movement to protect a fragile ecosystem and generations of ecological knowledge. Many of the featured olive trees are over 1,000 years old, rooted in regenerative, biodiversity-rich ecosystems. The film explores how food sovereignty, fair trade, and environmental stewardship become acts of cultural survival under occupation, and highlights the work of Canaan Palestine and the Trees for Life initiative, which supports over 2,400 artisan farming families across 52 villages and has helped plant more than 429,000 trees throughout the West Bank.
