Diversions, Divisions, Decline: The Right, Social Movements, and the Ontario Election

The Right, Social Movements, and the Ontario Election Democracy in Ontario? Only the naive and those standing to gain from the political spoils are refusing to concede that electoral democracy is rotten to its core in Ontario. Since the 1990s, the neoliberal policy regime of ‘free markets’, low taxes, cuts to social provisioning, and more money for policing have dominated the agenda at Queen’s Park. Moderated by Greg Albo. Presentations by: - Bryan Evans teaches at Toronto Metropolitan University and is the co-editor of Divided Province: Ontario Under Neoliberalism. - Shelagh Pizey-Allen is Director of TTCriders in Toronto. - James Hutt is a union activist and currently works at the Canadian Association of University Teachers. - William Paul is an educational activist editor of the website School Magazine.
