In this August 2021 edition of The Red Review, brought to you by Socialist Action, we bring a radical approach to election coverage. In anticipation of the snap election taking place on Sep 20th, we talk about the fourth wave of Covid-19, catastrophic climate change, and Canadian imperialism in Afghanistan and Palestine.  

Featuring the newest IPCC report, Enbridge Line 3, Tiny House Warriors and resistance to the TMX pipeline, fourth wave of Covid-19 across Canada and vaccine passports, black ribbon day and the ‘victims of communism’ memorial, and unionizing Indigo stores. 

You can find Socialist Action on Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter, or visit our website for more information. Socialist Action also plays a leading role in the Worker's Action Movement, which ran the Labour Forward slate at the most recent Canadian Labour Congress, and the NDP Socialist Caucus.
