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 fight to win!

Nov 4, 2026 - Booklaunch: The Other Side of the Tracks

When: Wednesday November 4th, 7pm

Elizabeth Rouble Hill's fascinating narrative focuses on her personal contribution to the socialist values quietly gifted to her by her parents. Each of the 28 revealing, warm, dramatic chapters of discovery and comprehension recount her personal growth. The reader is attracted to her pride in her successes, small and large, first as a child, then an adolescent and finally an adult, in breaking down the barriers of the social world into which she and her siblings were born "on the other side of the tracks" within the "cold war" of middle and late 20th century Toronto. Her remarkable story is an appreciative homage to her parents.
