The Monitor starts off 2020—the CCPA's 40th anniversary year—with a direct attack on the Trudeau government's contradictory climate plans and the close connections between public officials and the fossil fuel sector. Will minority status and a rising Green New Deal movement change the government's course, or will it be just more business as usual?

Also in this issue, we look at how changes to the "New NAFTA" negotiated by House Democrats will affect Canadians, what's behind the widening gap between CEO and average incomes in Canada, why Chilean citizens woke up to the crisis of inequality, and much more.

Finally, I'm very excited to announce that twice a year, starting with this issue, the Monitor will include a full issue of Our Schools / Our Selves, the voice of progressive education in Canada. The CCPA has been publishing OS/OS, under the editorship of Erika Shaker, since 2000. The journal is now free for all Monitor readers to enjoy.

 Here's a sample of what you'll find in the issue.

We can't do this without you! Please consider donating to the CCPA and ask to get the Monitor delivered to your home or workplace.

Thanks to Remie Geoffroi for this issue's cover illustration.
