In 2023, as inflation, economic uncertainty make paying the bills harder for working people, and as a potential recession looms over the political landscape, we ask ourselves: how can we meet the moment? How can we reclaim the mantle of affordability, and recommit ourselves to the task of making life materially better for every working Canadian?

How can we meet the challenge posed by the populist right, who are speaking directly to working Canadians' worries and fears?

And how can we forge the solidarity between political parties, between organizations and between individual working people to make that vision a reality?
