May 7, 2026 - Youth Climate Corps Mass Organizing Call

When: Thursday May 7th, 6pm

As our government pushes forward with LNG nation-building projects and more AI data centers, youth unemployment remains at record highs -- with 108,000 permanent full-time jobs lost in February alone. The recently announced Youth Climate Corps pilot, which according to our estimates will only employ 350 youth across Canada, falls far short of addressing the scale of the crises we face.

Now is the time to escalate our organizing and build momentum as we gear up to see the YCC pilot launch.

May 7, 2026 - Save Public Healthcare Meetup

When: Thursday May 7th, 6pm
Where: Bloor/Gladstone Library, 1101 Bloor St W

In medicine, a "Code Blue" signals a life-threatening emergency. Today, Canada's public healthcare system is in Code Blue -- not by accident, but by design. Without urgent action, it risks flatlining.

If you're among the many Canadians concerned about the future of Public Medicare, this is the moment to connect, get informed, and take action. Join others in your community to learn what's at stake--and what we can do, together, to protect it.

May 8, 2026 - Planning in the Face of Fascism

When: May 8 to 10
Where University of Toronto, 170 St George St

Planners Network, a network of progressive planners, academics, students and activists based in North America, also known as Turtle Island, and beyond, is seeking proposals for the conference celebrating its 50th anniversary: Planning in the Face of Fascism.

The theme of this conference engages the pressing political challenge confronting progressive people around the world, namely, the global resurgence of the phenomenon popularly known as fascism. While there are of course still academic debates on the proper name to grasp the nature of the current conjuncture, it is clear that the various situations in which planners work--in relation to forces of state, economy and people - are being decisively shaped by comparatively varied combinations of authoritarianism and the far right.
