“Seriously, an email newsletter?”
We know what you’re thinking: Grunge rock, Jean Chrétien, and email newsletters – all popular in the nineties, but not anymore. Who reads email newsletters anymore? Well, we’re betting you will read this one.
Important struggles are being fought across Canada, with unions, citizens’ groups and activist collectives on the front-lines. While social media has had a tremendous impact, tabloid-style content has become the status-quo.
In each issue we will round up the most significant developments in these struggles and highlight important things to watch for in the week ahead.
They are archived here for your convenience.
