This week, the Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPA) released the finalists for the 2024 winners selection. We are so pleased to announce rabble.ca has made finalist in three categories!
Best Video Content (Media) – Off the Hill: The influence of U.S. politics in Canada
Co-hosted by Robin Browne and Libby Davies, Off the Hill is rabble.ca’s live monthly panel which breaks down important national and international news stories through a progressive lens. This webinar series invites a rotating roster of guest activists, politicians, scholars, researchers and more to discuss how to mobilize and bring about progressive change in national politics — on and off Parliament Hill.
In January 2024, we dove into the explosive world of U.S. politics with NDP Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay Charlie Angus, senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Stuart Trew and rabble editor Nick Seebruch to discuss the many ways our neighbors south of the border influence Canada.
This has been our highest-registered and most viewed panel of this year so far. Watch that panel here!
Best Blog Column/Videocast/Podcast (Media) – Charlotte Dalwood: There’s no such thing as ‘parents’ rights’
Over the past two years, the term “parental rights” has become a rallying cry for anti-queer activists – one that is garnering the support of mainstream politicians.
But as rabble columnist Charlotte Dalwood explains, while parents have a right to raise their children in accordance with their own values – most notably their religious values – they do not have the right to override their children’s own rights under the Charter, notably their children’s rights to life and security of the person.
