November/December 2011: Stepping up for the Planet
Volume 45, Issue 6
This special feature of Canadian Dimension was inspired by the forthcoming COP17 UN Conference on Climate Change occurring in Durban, South Africa in November/December 2011. This is a collaboration between CD, the South African Magazine Amandala and Patrick Bond. The focus starts with an analysis of what is likely to come out of the Durban conference and what is unlikely to come out of the conference. From there we go to the opposition forces in the city of Durban itself and the alternative summit planned for COP17. Finally we explore specific grassroots resistance movements in both South Africa and Canada-Québec.

November/December 2010: The New Feminism
Volume 44, Issue 6
Today in Canada, where womyn’s rights are under attack, where funding to feminist and womyn’s organizations has been cut, where indigenous people are still not respected, immigrant and refugee womyn are not valued, where womyn still do not have full control over our bodies or reproduction, where womyn and girls are hypersexualized and face obscene amounts of violence, where the environment is threatened to the point where humanity itself is in peril, where the only national feminist umbrella group, the National Action Committee (NAC), has dissolved, and when womyn are still being oppressed and exploited because we are womyn, yes, we certainly do need feminism.

September/October 2010: Ecosocialism
Volume 44, Number 5
The division within the environmental movement between market ecologism and ecosocialism has become increasingly clear with the failure of Copenhagen and the promise of Cochabamba. This issue focuses on the rising tide of ecosocialism. We also examine the events of the G20 from many angles: the protest tactics of the black bloc and the resulting political violence by the state; the assault against women protestors; how mainstream media handled coverage of the protests; and the role of social media.
