Beyond the Shock Doctrine: A Conversation on Tariffs, Climate and Solidarity<\/p>\n
Feb 12, 2025 07:00 PM<\/p>\n
Climate crisis. Eroding social safety net. Colonialism. The rise of xenophobia and the far right. Just when we thought things couldn\u2019t get worse, US broligarchs unleashed the threat of tariffs on the Canadian economy, leading to economic anxiety and corporate profiteering. Corporate-aligned governments of all stripes are profiting off this moment to promote further resource extraction, deregulation and deportations. What does a people-first response to this moment look like, and how can it cut through all the noise? Hosted by Climate Action Network Canada and the UBC Centre for Climate Justice, this conversation will feature author and activist Naomi Klein, Co-Director of the Centre for Climate Justice, Syed Hussan, Executive Director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, and Lubicon Cree advocate Melina Laboucan-Massimo, founder and Executive Director of Sacred Earth.<\/p>\n\n
