Nov 12, 2026 - Fighting to Win

When: Nov 12 to Dec 2

Unions and social movements today are operating under incredibly dire circumstances. There is great economic uncertainty and we confront the worsening impact of climate change as well as a global situation marked by the growing threat of conflict and war. When workers strike or communities under attack take to the streets, it seems that victories are much harder to win and past gains more difficult to defend.

This course will grapple with these questions by looking at the forms of exploitation and oppression that exist in society and the means by which the power structure acts to limit and contain our struggles. The course will move towards a discussion of how our movements can overcome the factors that hold them back and how we can fight to win!

Nov 12, 2026 - Stop Bill C-39

When: November 12th, 12pm, 3pm, 4pm
Where: Various locations

Bill C-39 is a legislative assault on our communities, workers, and the planet.

It's an attack on workers and the right to strike. It's an attack on Indigenous communities and their ability to refuse mega-projects on their lands. And it's an attack on our planet - bypassing environmental regulations that protect nature, wildlife, and the climate. Let's stop this dangerous power grab before it becomes law.

When: Tuesday November 10th, 2:30pm
Where: McMaster Univ, 1280 Main St, Hamilton

Join editor Miriam Edelson and chapter contributors Alex Silas, Riley Yesno and John Clarke for a conversation about the rise of the far right in Canada and the possibilities for collective resistance.

Taking the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" as a starting point, Confronting the Resurgent Right examines the deep roots of right-wing extremism and how its ideas shape Canadian politics and society. Bringing together perspectives from labour, Indigenous politics and community organizing, this discussion will explore how we can understand these movements and build solidarity to challenge them.
