SPEAKERS:

  • Thomas Hanna – Research Director, Democracy Collaborative, Washington, DC

Our Common WealthWHEN: Tuesday, November 13 at 6:00 p.m.

WHERE: Robert Sutherland Hall, 138 Union St, Queen’s University (Map). Facebook Event

WHY: Privatization is deeply unpopular in North America and has been fought successfully. But if the anti-privatization movement only thinks defensively the best that can be done is protecting the status quo. Reclaiming public ownership, and rethinking the ways in which public services are delivered, is a crucial part of building a more equitable and sustainable public services future.

Copies of Corporatizing Canada can be purchased at the event or online through the publisher. Copies of Our Common Wealth can be purchased at the event or online through the publisher.
