WHAT IS CANADIAN DIMENSION?
Canadian Dimension is a magazine that shows there is an alternative
to the corporate agenda and the dictates of the global market; that
the vision - and not just one vision - of a better society is still
alive. It provides a forum for debate, where socialists,
environmentalists and anarchists share approaches to
anti-globalization; where activists report their activities in
campaigns all corners of Canada; where writers analyse forms of
oppression and human-rights issues; where trade unionists report from
the front lines; and where the latest books, films, websites, CDs and
videos are radically reviewed.


WHO WRITES FOR CANADIAN DIMENSION?
Canadian Dimension draws on the best writers on the Left, both
familiar and fresh. Walden Bello, Greg Albo, Gregory Baum, Varda
Burstyn, Vandana Shiva, Michel Chossudovsky, Sam Gindin, Joan Kuyek,
Brian Palmer, Leo Panitch, Judy Rebick, Jim Stanford, Jack Warnock
and Reg Whitaker write alongside vigorous young writers like
Catherine Brown, Samir Gandesha, Anders Hayden and Meg Holden.
International coverage not seen elsewhere is provided by David Bacon,
Henry Heller, Saul Landau, Eduardo Luro, Ahmar Mustikhan and James
Petras.


WHY SHOULD I SUBSCRIBE TO CANADIAN DIMENSION?
The shape of the next Left will be very different from that of the
previous Left, be it social democratic or socialist. Organizing
efforts from Seattle to Quebec City have seen new social movements,
new social visions, new concepts for organizing economies, new
notions of how to fight back, both globally and locally, come into
their own. We at Canadian Dimension are taking an active part in this
Left renewal with the same radical energy we have displayed since our
founding nearly 40 years ago.
