Dec 10, 2025 - Effective Transitions for Fossil Fuel Workers

When: December 10th, 1pm

The transition away from employment in fossil fuel industries is happening in Canada and around the world, regardless of the twists and turns of climate policy. Canadian fossil fuel employment fell by 38,000 jobs over the last decade--even as oil and gas production grew. And a new pipeline wouldn't change that trajectory, which reflects economics, technology, and corporate greed (not climate rules). This webinar reviews a new report by Jim Stanford and Kathy Bennett, documenting this decline, surveying fossil fuel workers about what supports they want and need, and listing best practices for future transition policies.

Dec 2, 2025 - PYM Course on Imperialism

When: December 2nd to 11th, 6:30pm

From December 2-11, PYM will host a hybrid course on US imperialism at the People's Forum. This course, America's Forever Wars in the Middle East, will equip participants with an essential understanding of US imperialism, Israel's role within it, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world.

Over the course of 4 sessions, we will illuminate how it is the imperialist system, and not just the ideological positions of any one politician in office, that keeps America at war and invested in genocide and the destabilization of the Middle East.

Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the ongoing drive for war, and that has attempted to destroy the Palestinian people and those who stand with them, we cannot understand how to confront it.
