Alberta Health workers defeat right-wing government
After 2 days of illegal strike, 10,000 licensed nurses, support staff and mental health workers have defeated the Tory provincial government. They gained a 16% raise over 2 years in the largest strike in Alberta’s history. What is more, workers have struck back and won in the traditional heartland of Canadian conservatism.

- Canadian Labor Rejects Third Way
Following in the footsteps of Tony Blair, Labour leader Alexa McDonough has been trying to
steer Canada's New Democratic Party to the right. However, despite getting a number
of policy commitments through, she was met with very stiff resistance at the party's
convention at the end of August. (October, 1999)
- Third Way? No way!
We hear a lot about the Third Way these days. But does this represent anything new or
is it just the socialdemocrats recognising that there is no longer any room for manouvre?
Barbara Humphries looks at where these ideas come from and what do they really mean.

What Now For Quebec Labour?
The month long strike by 47,000 nurses in Quebec is over. Nurses are back on the job with
no contract after rejecting a weak contract agreement reached by the union leadership and
the provincial government. (September, 1999)
- Demand
Efficient Health Care!
A look at the problems associated with the almost mythical Canadian healthcare system -
only a socialist approach can save it!
- Nurses Fight Back
Across Canada the nurses have proved themselves the
most resolute fighters against right-wing cut backs. In every province the issues are the
same. Nurses have had their wages frozen for a number of years, many nurses find
themselves doing 3 or 4 part-time positions with no security, and subsequently, enrolment
is at an all time low leading to chronic understaffing.
- Nationalism or Socialism? A Look
at the Problems in Québec
The recent election in Québec has once again brought to the fore the question of Québec
separation. The Parti Québecois and the Liberals espouse their opinions on separation and
federalism. Both clearly represent the bourgeois perspective and interests. But who talks
about issues facing workers and youth? What are the socialist alternatives to the problems
in Québec? (February 1999)
