Austerity is back, baby!

If you're angry or scared about the "sacrifices" the Liberals expect Canadians to make in their upcoming budget, you are not alone.

Both Liberals and Conservatives are racing rightward, scapegoating immigrants and Crown corporations like Canada Post instead of confronting the real problem: a system rigged for big corporations and the rich.

And when establishment parties abandon working people, fascism fills the vacuum.

We've been here before. In the 1990s, Liberals slashed social programs and abandoned the poor, parents, and people with disabilities. Libby Davies fought those cuts from the ground as a city councillor, housing activist, and union organizer—and then NDP MP for Vancouver East, which includes Canada's poorest postal code. As NDP House Leader in 2005, she helped secure $4.6 billion in restored social program funding from Paul Martin's government.

Libby knows this playbook. And she knows how to fight back.

Join Libby and Avi Lewis for an emergency town hall connecting the dots between Canada's austerity past and present, and to hear their action plan for this crisis moment.
