Our Socialist Canada Mount Rushmore t-shirts are now available. You should buy one to celebrate the Canadian left's re-embrace of nationalism. In hindsight, we should have somehow involved a waffle in the design.

In September, we are offering a new online course on the philosophy on which parties like @afd, BSW, @One_BCHQ, @ReformUK, etc. are based. We will examine the philosophies of Oswald Spengler & Samuel Huntington & the organizing of @Bannons_WarRoom.

As we face the possible reintroduction of the Online Harms Act and other authoritarian measures under Mark Carney, our institute has made a last-minute decision to offer a course on Canadian authoritarianism on Sunday afternoons this summer.

Just a reminder that I go back into the online classroom in mid-January, teaching on Greens and the Left and the Big Lebowski. I will be joined by Nikola Fialka and Derrick Jensen of @deepgreenresist as instructors, as part of a joint venture of the Old Growth Left.

In addition to teaching some courses for Los Altos, I will also be back to chairing a reading group for the first time in three years.

[Los Altos Institute @Altos_Institute]

Our reading groups are starting up online, in Vancouver, Victoria and possibly the Comox Valley in 2025. We are going to be changing our focus from modern social science to great texts of the humanities. Check out what we are offering here:

As a gender critical organization, we stand on the shoulders of heroes like Lee Lakeman. She will be deeply missed.

[VancouverRapeRelief @VanRapeRelief]

While Lee formally retired from Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter in 2012, she remained a devoted ally and a friend to us until her very last days. As we mourn her passing, our hearts are full of admiration and gratitude.

Rescheduled from the spring, we are offering the course, Climate and Myth in November and October via Zoom. It will examine the history of human beings' beliefs about how their behaviour affects their environment but especially climate.

We're in the process of updating our archive of the writing of David Lewis, the William Blake of the 1990s environmental movement. Here's a taste: two of his witty letters to the editor from the 90s. Check back later in the month for a full online archive of his work.

We could use your help financially in paying for the costs of our online presence and to help us organize some events this fall.

A new essay from our president @stuartlosaltos who is currently banned from Twitter for expressing some strong views.

It's about the increasing amounts of political time travel in which people seem to be engaging:
