We need a mass movement to ensure a just transition and prevent climate breakdown. But such contestations can go very wrong.

The people in power are not acting on climate breakdown. Which presents us, those not in power, with three options. We change the actions of those in power, we change the people in power or we change the nature of power itself.

The ‘green’ transition is spurring a neocolonial rush for minerals

Around the world, Indigenous-led resistance to mining and extraction projects have been intensifying, and it is frequently Canadian companies who are the aggressors, pushing forward with neocolonial land grabs and violent state-sanctioned repression when projects are opposed by locals.

Good basic analysis applicable to many other places in the US and Canada. Needs to be expanded to include the union movement's centrality in what should be a combined progressive fightback against attacks on working class rights on and off the job, climate disruption, shrinking healthcare, homelessness, imperialism, war-mongering, racism, sexist-heterosexist oppression, etc.--all of which issues fascists actively support.

Palestinian deaths count for less in Canada’s newspapers. Data proves it

Dec. 22, 2023
