Left Noise This Week (May 1, 2016)
A quick look at the music that has moved the movement this week.
Alberta and Just Transition | What's Left
We need reality-based solutions for facilitating and funding a Just Transition for workers. It will require the government to invest in publicly owned productive capacity that will generate the revenue needed to fund the hiring and drive the economic transition in the correct direction. This is not a new idea, but it is one that is proven to work.
Public Libraries have proven their worth & they should be funded accordingly | What's Left
Across the country, we need to continue to fight for and defend public libraries and their important contributions to the public good.
