Jun 21, 2026 - Crash Course on Colonialism, Capitalism, and the History of Canada

When: Sundays at 2pm, June 21 to July 12

In this introductory course, we will be engaging critically with these and many other aspects of colonialism and Canadian history. The history of colonialism and modern injustice against indigenous people is rightly a motivating issue for many. The structures and systems that led to such monumental injustices must be understood, especially by those who believe that a fundamentally better world is possible. So, too, it is crucial to understand the exploitation and oppression endured by working people as Canada became an advanced capitalist nation state.
