INTRODUCING THE CD ARCHIVE!
Canadian Dimension teamed up with the University of Manitoba Archives and Special Collections department to create this digital register of CD’s past issues, going all the way back to our 1963 inaugural edition.

"To live in a world of these violent empires and in a satellite of one of them presents complex problems of morality."
Writing in CD in 1967, George Grant, author of Lament for a Nation, reflects on Canadian "fate" in the shadow of American imperialism. canadiandimension.com/articl…
Canadian-operated gold mines in the Dominican Republic and Haiti face growing opposition from communities who say years of extraction have harmed their water, health, and livelihoods. This week, local leaders will bring their concerns directly to Ottawa. canadiandimension.com/articl…

"If we are to take Carney’s pronouncements about a new world order seriously, Canada needs to once again clearly state its objections to the US embargo at the United Nations by voting in favour of this month’s resolution."

The PQ has promised a balanced budget with a $6.6B reduction in spending over 5 years and lower taxes on business—amounting to lost state revenues of $8.9B. This augurs a new round of austerity policies in the midst of an escalating affordability crisis. canadiandimension.com/articl…

Excellent article.
"Our current premier does not. She pandered to the fringe thinking she was leading the dance. She wasn’t. She was being dragged all around the dance floor and, unfortunately for the rest of us, now we’re being dragged around it too."

The war on the poor is escalating
Homelessness and poverty are the predictable products of austerity, precarious work, and a housing system built for profit.

On October 28, the United Nations will vote to condemn the US embargo on Cuba. Every Canadian government since 1992 has supported the resolution.
If Mark Carney is to make good on his call for a new global order, Canada must vote yes—and do much more. canadiandimension.com/articl…
Alberta exists because Indigenous nations entered into binding agreements with the Crown. Whatever reactionary grievances separatists claim to represent, they cannot erase the reality that these lands are governed by treaties that remain in force today. canadiandimension.com/articl…
Alberta’s referendum says less about the strength of separatist sentiment in the province than it does about catastrophically weak leadership in the premier’s office. canadiandimension.com/articl…

My NEW article is out with @CDN_Dimension
If we want to be masters in our own home, Canadians must democratically own the key means of production through a combination of public, worker, and cooperative ownership.

Brilliant piece by Rinaldo Walcott. Worth reading and rereading.
"The university is not just in crisis. The university is the crisis."
Rinaldo Walcott argues that Jason Arday's death lays bare a broken academic system built on unequal power, gatekeeping, and the grinding machinery of institutional recognition. canadiandimension.com/articl…
Mark Carney promised Canadians they would be “masters in their own home.” But does sovereignty mean anything when key industries remain in private, foreign hands?

“‘Alberta separatism’ is not unique to Alberta at all. It is a potent attempt to launder through the language of Western alienation what is in fact a nationwide, even global, far-right, anti-immigrant movement.”
canadiandimension.com/articl…
Alberta separatism doesn't have to win a referendum to succeed. The movement's real danger lies in weaponizing western alienation to normalize anti-immigrant racism and build far-right political power across Canada, write Megan Aiken and Will Kujala. canadiandimension.com/articl…
The expulsion of journalist @LeonidRagozin from Latvia reflects a growing hostility toward inconvenient opinions on foreign policy. This shrinking space for dissent threatens the very democratic freedoms Western governments claim to defend. canadiandimension.com/articl…

“The drift into authoritarianism doesn’t always set off alarm bells. Citizens are often slow to realize that their democracy is being dismantled even as it happens before their eyes.”
NWC is used to violate constitutionally protected rights and freedoms!
