Discussion: Capitalism on the edge: The crisis that came the crisis yet to come
Discussion/Zine launch
A discussion examining the changing nature of Canadian capitalism in the
midst of the current global economic crisis.This text/discussion focuses
on challenging the ongoing claim by the Canadian political and economic
elite that Canada has fared well during the financial crisis.
Instead, there are constant signs that the Canadian economy is teetering
on the edge of its own ruinous financial crisis: the country is facing
unprecedented concentrations of extreme wealth alongside growing poverty
rates, while Canadian capitalism is increasingly dependent on
resource-driven capitalism, ongoing colonialism, precarious low-wage work,
and increasing gentrification in rurban centres through housing
speculation bubbles. That these are the measures that has driven
capitalism to stave off this current crisis, yet are the fundamentals
that will drive them into crisis, because they are part of a longer-term
shift in the nature of Canadian Capitalism.

Capitalism on the edge: La crise présente et celles à venir
Discussion et lancement de zine.
Examinons les changements spécifiques aux capitalisme canadien à travers
la crise économique mondiale. Le but est de "répondre" aux
politiciens et aux élites économiques qui prétendent que le Canada fait
bonne figure face à "la crise".
Pourtant, il y a des signes clair démontrant que l'économie canadienne
cours à sa perte. L'écart entre les riches et les pauvres ne cesse de
grandir, le capital est de plus en plus dépendant des ressources
naturelles, du colonialisme, du "cheap labor" et de la gentrification. Ces
mesures lesquelles le capitalisme se nourri sont aussi les mêmes quie
mènerons à sa perte de par leurs "nature".
