How did the nonprofit advocacy group Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) win Canada’s first ‘press shield’ law for the protection of journalistic sources?
Why are the early childhood educators in Peterborough, Waterloo, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Durham and Toronto organizing in local teams to press for decent work and affordable child care? What motivates them to continue even after their dream of universal childcare recently was dashed?
SPEAKERS:
Suze Morrison - MPP, Toronto Centre
Olivia Chow - Founder of the Institute for Change Leaders
Lyndsay MacDonald and Alana Powell - Childcare Professors and Activists
Duncan Pike - Former Executive Director, Canadian Journalists for Free Expression
