Socialism for the 21st Century

As political leaders falter on issues of climate change, mired in wars with no end in sight, amidst an economic recession that is forcing ordinary people to pay for the mistakes of the wealthy, there is demand for real change. Despite demands for real action, Stephen Harper has suspended Parliament, raising real questions about what political alternatives exist for genuine democracy and social justice.

Join us as we discuss and debate these ideas and talk about the way forward.
