After the election: Neoliberal Crisis or Neo-Conservative Advance? Strategies for the Left


October 21, 2008


A panel discussion followed by Q&A
The Canadian election is taking place in the context of a severe financial crisis in the US, a Presidential election that seems to be breaking from Bush's America, and multiple crises in neoliberalism. Yet, the Canadian political right under the leadership of Stephen Harper's Conservative
government appears to be consolidating power; the centre-left remains electorally divided between the Liberals, Greens and NDP, and limited in its policy horizons; and the wider progressive and radical left barely seems to have a foothold in either electoral or policy debates, which was
not the case even a decade or so ago. This discussion brings together some of the most prominent and unique voices on Canadian politics.

Time: 7:00 pm
Venue: Room 2214, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)
