Join host Robin Browne, and guests Libby Davies, Chuka Ejeckam, Rachel Snow and Diana Yoon for an insightful discussion of the real issues facing us as September 20th quickly approaches: climate, Indigenous rights, and a post-pandemic inclusive recovery. We can all feel it; we’re at a tipping point on each of these issues. There’s no time left for same-old. We need to make this election count. 

We are in the middle of a short five week election that no one wanted — well, except perhaps for the governing Liberals who hope to gain a majority while voters are distracted by a fourth wave of the pandemic and the low ebb of summer. 

Off the Hill is rabble.ca’s thought-provoking live panel on current issues of national significance, from a progressive and critically applied perspective you won’t find anywhere else.
