As we approach our 24th birthday as a progressive news outlet, we’ve been reflecting on just how much the world has changed since we first began. We’ve reported through political upheavals, climate disasters, social justice movements, labour challenges and wins – and a rapidly shifting media landscape.

rabble's guide to the 2025 federal leaders debates

1 week ago | rabble.ca | Sarah Sahagian

The federal leaders’ debates are almost upon us! Indeed, since the first leaders’ debate was televised in 1968, the major party’s candidates have cavened each election season to discuss – and sometimes scream about – the issues that matter to Canadians. From climate change to the economy and Canada-US relations, each party gets the opportunity to tout their own plans. They’ll also get plenty of time to spar with their political rivals! .
Election 2025: On the climate crisis

1 week ago | rabble.ca | Nick Seebruch

The climate crisis is a global threat. Rising temperatures have already led to the devastation of ecosystems and drastic biodiversity loss. Floods, tornadoes and forest fires destroy wildlife habitats and displace human populations.

Debate questions for Pierre Poilievre

While hunting, chameleon lizards hide in plain sight by changing their colors to blend into their background. That is exactly what Pierre Poilievre has done since the summer of 2023 in his hunt and lust for power. Poilievre continues to fool many with his chameleon show and ads pretending to be a legitimate and reasonable politician.
Walk like a man: Toxic masculinity in crime fiction, fact and spoken word

2 weeks ago | rabble.ca | Tom Sandborn

In the 19th century, the spectre haunting Europe was communism, or so Marx argued. In our century, a new spectre is as globalized as the economy, and its name is toxic masculinity. As a filthy, tang-coloured ooze of neo-fascism spreads over the globe, it brings with it a new popularity for online cults of toxic masculinity, resentful incels, armed militias and leaders who champion a hard bodied, hard hearted version of masculinity, violent and brutal.
Labour victories, failures and lessons in history and solidarity

Who benefits from Alberta healthcare privatization? Follow the money!

2 weeks ago | rabble.ca | David J. Climenhaga

There was another big health care announcement by the Alberta Government Tuesday, the second in as many days, this one about the further deconstruction of Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the shuffling of important health care activities among newly created bureaucracies like a pea under some walnut shells. Where’s cancer care gone? What about organ transplants and tissue donations?
It’s time to clean up classroom oil spills

Growing up involves confronting uncomfortable truths — about history, science and ourselves. In this era of information overload, those who have learned to employ critical thinking skills are not only better prepared to evaluate the credibility and importance of information, they’re also more resilient in the face of the discomfort it may cause. Ignoring the history of slavery or the consequences of consumer capitalism won’t make them disappear; it will just make us more likely to repeat mistakes.
