In the wake of a flurry of fall elections, organizers from around the country—including those behind breakthrough victories by COPE in Vancouver and Chiara Padovani in Toronto—join The Breach’s Martin Lukacs to take stock of Canada’s electorally-engaged Left.
Their conclusion: disciplined campaigns that are unapologetically socialist, laser focused on improving people’s material lives, and unwilling to throw vulnerable communities under the bus can make gains for the Left—and win.

The Breach’s investigations don’t just inform our readers—they force the powerful to react.
An exposé on blood plasma privatization led to national headlines. Our revelations about the government’s cozy connections to Big Pharma sparked a parliamentary probe. A report on high-tech price-fixing by mega landlords resulted in a criminal investigation.
From activists to elected officials, people are using The Breach’s journalism to push for transformative change.
