Nov 9, 2025 - Political Sovereignty and Elbows Up

By Harry Glasbeek

How lucky were the Liberals when the last federal election season began? Very. Twin perceived threats came to their assistance.
Like all parties in trouble, they dumped their leader, Justin Trudeau, and selected another, Mark Carney. They crafted an image of Carney as a man who had dined and wined with the rich and makers and shakers of the world, as a canny businessman having served on the boards of several major corporations, and as a sound economist who had contributed to the public good when he served in the prestigious roles of governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.

Nov 8, 2025 - Catherine Connolly Wins: An historic victory for the Irish left

By Paul Murphy

Catherine Connolly's resounding victory in the Irish presidential election is a watershed moment. It is the first time that the left has won a majority of votes in a national election. This was not a narrow victory either; Catherine won the largest percentage (63%) and largest total vote (914k) of any presidential candidate in history. The combined forces of the political and media establishment threw everything they could at Connolly to try to stop the momentum behind her campaign.

Nov 7, 2025 - Harvesting Olives Under the Occupation

By Uri Weltmann

It is the olive harvest season. Palestinian communities are preparing for it, as they have for generations.

However, not all Palestinian farmers can simply go to the family plot and collect the olives growing on the trees. In dozens of villages across the Occupied West Bank, Palestinians face harassment, beatings, and sometimes even fatal attacks, carried out by extremist Israeli settlers.

Nov 6, 2025 - The WSIB 'Surplus': A Political Slush Fund

By Chris Grawey and Bonnie Heath

The corporate lobby is misleading the public when it suggests that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) of Ontario is over-funded and that the money should be "returned" to business. Why? Because injured workers have been under-compensated by the WSIB in the billions of dollars. When "times are tough" at the WSIB, it is on the literal and figurative backs of injured and ill workers that the Board restores its financial health.

Nov 5, 2025 - Britain’s Left-Wing and Experiments in Democracy

By Tomaš Hucko

The biggest left-wing event in Great Britain - The World Transformed - was held regularly under the patronage of the Labour Party from 2016 onward. Since the party under the leadership of Keir Starmer adopted far-right rhetoric, the festival organisers have distanced themselves from Labour and this year organised the event in Manchester independently, in collaboration with several independent organisations. What does the festival reveal about the future of the British and, ultimately, the global left?
