On Sept 14 - 15, Carney has invited global top 100 CEOs to decide the economic future of 41 million Canadians.

Are these really the type we should be taking advice from? The ones most responsible for our current crises of expensive cost of living, housing crisis and climate catastrophe?

Join us on Sept 14 at 6pm rally at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. We dont want these clowns deciding our future anymore.

Pension funds are workers wages pooled and often used as investment capital for corporations and industries that are against workers interests.

The pension boards co-hosting Carney’s CEO Summit is a blatant illustration of this. Why are they co-hosting a summit that will further privatize services and assets like the airport, which will inevitably cost the worker?

The summit invites the global top 100 CEOs to decide the future of 41 million Canadians behind closed doors.
And our pension funds want to help do it.

Mass protest Sept 14 6pm, Toronto, Nathan Phillips Square. Followed by a march to the CEO summit. We demand economic democracy and an end to pension capitalism.

Watch our webinar on Fighting Public Private Partnerships, as part of the Confront Carney’s CEO Summit campaign, intended to expose and discredit corporate elite agendas pushed that are not in the interest of the public.

Davide Ventrone (MA) is a PhD student and researcher in Political Science at McMaster University. His research applies a Marxian perspective to the role of asset management in the rise of infrastructure provision. His blog Critic of Political Economy can be found on Substack. https://linktr.ee/criticofpolecon

The presentation covers the rise of infrastructure investment in Canadian capitalism in the modern form of Public-Private Partnerships or P3s. Representing a new mechanism of domination by the ruling class, P3s further entrench relations of exploitation by co-opting public infrastructure and transforming it into means of profit making. To counter this, radical movements must challenge this project of the ruling class a reassert the right to democratically run and commonly accessible public services.
