Mar 4, 2026 - Hands Off Our Education

When: March 4th, 12:30pm
Where: Queen's Park

The Ford government's decision to open the floodgates to tuition increases AND the decimation of OSAP will destroy what's left of education in Ontario. Enough is enough - it's time to take to the streets and flex the true power of students in the province.

We call on students of all levels, instructors, parents, and community members alike - join us as we take on Queen's Park on March 4th at 12:30pm.

Mar 3, 2026 - Rise of Youth Precariat in South Korea

When: March 3rd, 10am

This talk examines how South Korea's compressed welfare state development, designed around standard employment relationships, has failed to adapt to today's "melting labour"--work characterized by blurred boundaries of traditional employment. Despite rapid welfare expansion, over one-third of young workers in Korea experience persistent precarity, creating severe polarization within the younger generation. Welfare state "drift" excludes precarious workers from social protection, disproportionately affecting young men who exhibit declining expectations for upward mobility and deepening distrust of institutions, ultimately undermining intergenerational solidarity in Korea.

Mar 2, 2026 - Abolition of War

When: March 2nd, 5pm
Where: Friends House, 60 Lowther

45 years ago, Gene Sharp contended, in this award-winning article, that war can realistically be abolished - if societies prepare for a credible, civilian-based nonviolent defense system capable of deterring and defeating aggression. Today, however, we are no closer to the abolition of war than in 1980. Is Sharp's notion of civilian-based defence defective? Can we modify Sharp's approach to make this abolition a realistic goal?
