[OPIRG-EVENTS] NEW YEARS REVOLUTIONS!




A Happy New Year to everybody!

In Toronto, the following worshops/political education sessions have been
organized to set the tone for the upcoming year's political work.

Could something like this be organized for Ottawa, perhaps with the
Rebuilding the Left people who operate here in the city.

Martha Harnecker, a brilliant Marxist ideologue who has resided in Cuba for
the last 20 or so years, will be in Ottawa in late February/Early March.
Perhaps we could take advantage of her visit for a local event such as this
one.

All the best

Pablo
