Jul 17, 2026 - Debating Class Politics and Canadian Unions

When: July 17th, 7pm
Where: College Street United Church, 502 Bathurst St

The Leo Panitch School is proud to present the launch of Out of the Impasse? Debating Class Politics and Canadian Unions. It represents the latest in the long running series of pamphlets published by the Socialist Project. It features four pieces of striking analysis, all drawing from Rosenfeld's decades of experience as an autoworker, educator, and socialist activist.

"These interventions remind us that worker power depends not only on shop-floor solidarity, but on building a capacity for independent collective political action by unions and workers..."

All are invited to join as we celebrate this new entry into the debates on Canadian socialism and working class politics!

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.

May 25, 2026 - OPSEU Strike (week 7)

When: while the strike is on

Doug Ford has underfunded our community services to the point of crisis -- and it's pushing workers into poverty.

OPSEU members are now in the fifth week of their ongoing strike. These workers provide critical frontline services that our communities rely on. Stability, dignity, and decent wages for workers will mean better services for all.
