The federal election result was a disaster for the NDP, but it was also a catastrophe for the entire labour movement. There is something terribly wrong with the messaging that unions are delivering to their membership. Surely, on this day, the alarm bells must be going off in the Canadian Labour (…)

This critical analysis examines how Québec Solidaire’s Intersyndical Militant Network (RMI) inadvertently strengthened the party leadership’s centrist position through superficial resolutions. Despite the RMI celebrating the adoption of their proposal for a “campaign against the right-wing (…)

The current Canadian federal election creates a dilemma for the left. The electoral system is of British origin, using first-past-the-post voting, and no mass anti-capitalist party, or one claiming to be, participates in it. However, the center-left NDP party usually rallies the non-sectarian (…)

It is imperative to counter the incredible Islamophobic and anti-Black offensive by the CAQ [Coalition Avenir Québec - Quebec’s ruling provincial party], endorsed by Federal Liberal leader Mark Carney, likely the next Prime Minister of Canada, who makes former Prime Minister Trudeau appear like (…)

The new era is characterised by far-right parties taking power in different parts of the world, including Donald Trump’s party in the United States. This situation poses a series of challenges to the ecosocialist and ecofeminist left and to the political and social left as a whole worldwide, in (…)

In the wake of Trumpism, there is no shortage of disruptive events capturing our attention. Creating media chaos to destabilise his opponents is a Trump tactic. In Québec and Canada, we already have the tariff war, the dramas of the federal Liberals and now the federal election, in Quebec the (…)

The election night in the Terrebonne by-election, won handily by the Parti Québecois (PQ), was difficult for Québec Solidaire as well as for the Liberals and Conservatives. It was quite a plunge for Québec Solidaire, with vote share down by two-thirds.
To twist the knife in the Québec (…)

As noted in my last article[1], Canada and Quebec’s commercial entanglement in the US economy is profound following thirty years of “free trade”, with neoliberal capitalism as its legacy. Suddenly Trump has thrown this aside for an attempt to neo-fascistise the US and the world. The result is an (…)

Since 24 February 2025, it has now been three years since Vladimir Putin launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Officially, it was to fight against NATO and to “denazify” Ukraine. Since then, Vladimir Putin has become the “most influential member of NATO” to quote Zelensky’s (…)

Through its public statement published in Le Devoir under the title “Beyond the End of the War, a Just Peace is Needed in Ukraine” [1], the Québec collective “Échec à la guerre” (“Checkmate to War”) shows itself favorable to Trump’s U.S. reversal regarding the war against Ukraine, seeing this (…)

The fractured and contradictory reaction by Canadian political and economic elites to Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports and to make Canada the United States’ 51st state has revealed the weakness of the country’s fabric. The tenuous ties that once bound (…)

In 1969, a caucus of NDP members known as the Waffle organized to promote a socialist and nationalist agenda, which included the replacement of US private ownership of Canadian industry with Canadian public ownership. Many of the core ideas that the Waffle stood for were first developed and (…)

Almost 40 years ago, the Left was warning about the consequences of tying Canada economically to the US. The election of Donald Trump is showing just how accurate those warnings were.
It’s a delicious if painful irony that it was the Left that warned about the dangers of economic integration (…)

The 2014 Peoples’ Social Forum achieved something very rare in Canada: it brought together social movements from one end of the country to the other around a goal that was clear at the time: defeating the Harper government in the 2015 federal election.
The context was very favorable. The Maple (…)

Hindu organizations are springing up in Canada, often parroting Conservative talking points about crime, cost of living, and anti-LGBTQ politics
“Welcome,” the Hindu spiritual guru intoned from an elevated stage covered in white and saffron cloth. “And very, very happy birthday to you.”

The first demonstration I attended, roughly 55 years ago, has shaped my life ever since. I was only 13, but the movement against the Vietnam War was everywhere: in the news, the music I listened to, and my conversations with friends and family. My first march took over downtown streets, our loud (…)

Broken alliances, divided provinces, Trump’s victory, the threat of a 25% tariff hike for the two partners in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (USMCA)...
The Canadian political crisis has only just begun. The Liberal-NDP alliance had been in limbo for a long time in the face of the (…)

President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose punitive tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico (and China) has, unsurprisingly, provoked near panic among Canadian elites who have long considered themselves to be trusted junior partners of the United States.
There is a widespread sense that (…)
Gender-based violence seems to be on the rise in workplaces dominated by women.
Violence against workers in female-dominated public-sector jobs is on the rise. As the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence comes to a close, unions are calling for measures to address this increasing (…)
