The recent 52-page edition of the CCPA’s journal, The CCPA Monitor, features articles and essays by Naomi Klein, Murray Dobbin, Linda McQuaig, Armine Yalnizyan, and a dozen other topnotch writers on the most current social, economic, political, and environmental issues.
The prolonged Great Recession, the climate change crisis, oil-drilling threats to our water, the “war on terror,” the disastrous consequences of airline deregulation, and key political developments in Canada, Europe, and South America – these and many other issues are explained and exposed.
All 11,000 CCPA members across the country receive their copies of The Monitor 10 times a year. It is available only to our members, and only a few sample articles from each issue are posted on our website. Click here to join the Centre today.
