Oct 8, 2026 - Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin

When: Thursday, October 8th, 6pm
Where: William Doo Auditorium, 45 Willcocks St.

Authors Kelly Fritsch and Anne McGuire argue that we live in a world broken by design: a web of systems that debilitate and destroy through racist and ableist infrastructural neglect, socioeconomic abandonment, and ecological negligence. Fixes for these forms of breakage often conceal and amplify harm--but what happens if we refuse to rehabilitate this inhospitable world?

Oct 4, 2026 - Marxism and the National Question

When: October 4, 1-5 p.m.
Where: Steelworkers Hall, 25 Cecil Street and on zoom

Imperialism has created a pecking order of oppressor and oppressed nations which shapes our world in profound ways. Canada, founded on the theft of Indigenous lands and the conquest of Quebec, is a "prison of nations".

What can we learn from the writings of Marx, Lenin and Luxemburg on this question? What does the experience of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath tell us about the connection between struggles for national liberation and international working class revolution? Join us for a discussion of insights and strategies the classical Marxist tradition offers revolutionaries in the Canadian state today.
