While being an official organ of the Communist Party of Canada, this is also as close as there probably is to a national left newspaper in Canada. Yes there are articles on strikes and peace marches but you’ll also find an ad for tours of Cuba and an announcement for a fundraising turkey dinner. There is an optimistic feel to this paper — as if the next lecture or protest could be the one to end war and hunger around the world. There are notices of protests and art shows and book reviews to help round out the paper. As a person who grew up with the echoes of McCarthyism still being heard, it is odd to see how mainstream the values of those that produce this paper actually are. (Brian Burch)
