When: Nov 13th, 4pm
Where: 55 Dundas St W

Based on the firsthand stories of dozens of women leaders in the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), Women United examines what workplaces were like for women, how they became involved in the union, and the challenges women faced, sometimes at great personal cost. From struggles for representation in their union to their fight for affirmative action and childcare, and work against gender-based violence and harassment, Peggy Nash and Julie White make an important contribution to feminist, labour, and social history.

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is proud to host Lia Pinheiro Barbosa and Peter Rosset for the online launch of their new book Lessons from the Zapatistas: From Armed Insurgency to People's Autonomy.

Lessons from the Zapatistas is essential reading for anyone interested in liberation, democracy and radical social transformation.

Nov 12, 2025 - Fund Our Schools - phone zap

When: November 12th, 8pm

Calling all concerned parents and education workers! Underfunding of education has resulted in $6.3 billion of cuts. Those are having an impact on our kids, our students and the workers inside our schools.

We want those responsible to know that they need to stop Bill 33, supervision of our school boards - which are ploys to distract us from chronic underfunding. Join us on this Phone Zap to call MPPs to tell them to FUND OUR SCHOOLS.

Nov 11, 2025 - The People of Canada will Love Us Again

When: Tuesday November 11th, 5pm
Where: Friends House, 60 Lowther Ave

With special guest Senator Yuen Pau Woo.

President Trump's comment at his October meeting with Prime Minister Carney about the "mutual love" between Canada and the United States was interpreted by many media observers as striking a more "positive tone". In fact, it masks a deeper problem in bilateral relations, in that many of our policy, business, and civil society leaders are clinging to a belief in enduring US beneficence towards Canada and the maintenance of US primacy in world affairs. For all the talk about "rupture" and "diversification," Ottawa has not advanced a coherent foreign policy vision that allows for greater Canadian strategic autonomy. Is there a better way?
