Join rabble.ca on March 10 at 7:30PM ET for Off the Hill! rabble’s live current affairs panel focuses this month on the topics you told us are top of mind: the Climate Crisis and the new, dire, IPCC report; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and the rise of the alt-right in Canada. The news cycle is operating in extremes at the moment, and our panelists are here to break it down.
Joining the panel this month are MP Leah Gazan, rabble’s senior parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg, rabble columnist Chuka Ejeckam, and author Seth Klein. Off the Hill is co-hosted by Libby Davies and Robin Browne.

Off the Hill is a fast-paced live panel on current issues of national significance. It features guests and a discussion you won’t find anywhere else, centred on the impact politics and policy have on people, and on ways to mobilize to bring about progressive change in national politics — on and off the hill.
