The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada.

Lucas, in his tweed blazer, traces the rhythm of a sentence aloud; Luna, in her burgundy cardigan, crosses out every adjective that doesn't carry weight. Together, they show you what separates a ...

Social ills, like gender-based violence, will manifest themselves in movement spaces. People will experience profound personal losses. Grief, alienation, and despair can grind us under. Sometimes, we need accompaniment. Sometimes, we need to be met where we’re at by a caring voice of experience. Read This When Things Fall Apart is a care package for activists and organizers building power under fascistic, demoralizing conditions.

He contended that the elected government was run by the financial supporters of the political parties; that big business, with the support of the courts and legislatures and media at all levels, was exploiting and mistreating workers, and focusing their efforts every day to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Lucas and Luna sit down to dissect the mechanics of a resume that gets past the ATS and into human hands.
