A VIRTUAL roundtable
HOSTED BY THE COUNCIL OF CANADIANS
On October 22, 2024, we hosted a roundtable with movement activists and analysts. Together, we discussed how we build people power to take on corporate greed – so that the many can defeat the money.
Watch this discussion and leave with the strategies and inspiration to fuel the fight-back in your own local community.
Featuring:
- Anjali Appadurai (moderator) Climate justice activist
- Syed Hussan – Migrant rights organizer
- Martin Lukacs – Journalist and author
- Judy Rebick – Activist, writer, journalist, and educator
- Laura Walton – President, Ontario Federation of Labour

Across Canada the crises we face are multiplying, from devastating floods and fires to a soaring cost of living and a crumbling health care system. Yet, while we bear the brunt, Canada’s billionaires have pocketed an extra $78 billion since the pandemic began – extracting wealth and resources away from our communities.
Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are using our pain to rise in the polls, fanning the flames of division while they serve the corporate class.
But this doesn’t have to be our future.
Join the Council of Canadians in building the alternative we know is possible: policies rooted in care, collective well-being, justice, and hope for a better tomorrow.
