INTRODUCING THE CD ARCHIVE! Canadian Dimension teamed up with the University of Manitoba Archives and Special Collections department to create this digital register of CD’s past issues, going all the way back to our 1963 inaugural edition. 👉👉🏻👉🏿 https://t.co/wev4YCWCvM

I guess since you’re all here, you might as well learn more about what Dallas Brodie is doing and how residential school denialism is being used as part of the far-right’s strategy to undermine truth and reconciliation:

A proposal to conscript hundreds of thousands of public servants into the Canadian Army Reserves collapsed almost instantly, but not before revealing a defence bureaucracy lost in its own rhetoric, writes @uOttawa's Paul Robinson.

The term settler colonialism, used barely at all decades ago, now anchors progressive discourse. @cdn_dimension https://t.co/4tU8P0NysQ

“Banker's Budget,” Evin Collis, 2025

As Canada expands its secret military operations under US command, the government keeps the names of fallen soldiers hidden. This Remembrance Day, what does it mean to honour the dead when the public isn’t even told who, or what, they’re dying for?

Ford may think that disappearing tenants and their unions from the LTB will disappear them from the city, but it won’t. Read our oped on #Bill60 and how it’s designed to protect financialized landlords:

Doug Ford’s new housing law promises efficiency, but its real purpose is to clear the way for evictions and profits. @Leora_smith of @cjc_TO on why the "Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act" will protect financialized landlords, not tenants:

Doug Ford’s new housing bill has been sold as efficiency reform, yet it prioritizes landlords over tenants. Long-term renters will face faster evictions, fewer protections, and higher rents while corporate landlords consolidate control of the market.

"Too often, the expropriation of land that made capitalist production possible and the separation of producers from their means of subsistence are depicted as consecutive rather than intertwined moments of a single historical process."

My latest for @CDN_Dimension on how scapegoating immigrants for Canada's problems prevents us from finding real solutions to them. #cdnpoli #canada https://t.co/M4oAw1K57Y

Scapegoating newcomers has become a convenient distraction from policy failure in Canada.

Scapegoating immigrants for the state of housing, health care, or employment helps no one. It obscures the real causes of these crises and stokes resentment against vulnerable members of our communities, writes Eric Wilkinson.

The deficit’s primary function is political: it is a cudgel used to enforce unpopular policies and coerce the public into accepting a diminished quality of life in the name of profit. We must stop mistaking this political strategy for economic necessity.

Canada’s debt is modest, self-financed, and stable. Yet we are told to accept austerity as the “responsible” path forward. Deficit panic is really a strategy to limit what’s politically imaginable—universal services, public housing, and climate action.

"The govt’s approach to this deficit is deeply concerning....The wealthiest individuals and largest corporations stand to capture the lion’s share of any gains, leaving everyday Canadians—both now and in the future—to shoulder the cost." – @FairTaxCanada https://t.co/DqwuCH1745

"Canada, it should be noted, spent on average 1.9% of GDP on defence in the period 1975-1984. Yet now we have promised to spend 5%—more than two and half times what we spent at the height of the Cold War. It is hard to see how this makes sense."

In 1933, the CCF warned that private finance sacrifices the majority to profiteers. The Regina Manifesto, its founding policy document, called for public ownership of banks to serve society, not speculation. Today, its lessons are more relevant than ever.

Rather than insulating Canada from an increasingly unpredictable White House, Carney’s policies are reinforcing our alignment with the United States in military, economic, and foreign policy matters, writes Owen Schalk.

On paper, Canada’s economy is growing. In reality, high household debt—mostly mortgages—is siphoning a big portion of our incomes to banks and landlords. GDP might be rising, but most Canadians are stuck just making ends meet.
