The election is over… and there's a lot of discussion on rabble…on Facebook…everywhere. We hear Justin Trudeau is very handsome. We also hear a lot of announcements. 

Time to plan a course that will make sure the Liberal government sticks to its progressive promises and push them even further. 

rabble.ca brought together an incredible group of speakers to do just that.

They are some of Canada's most prominent progressives: Avi Lewis, Pam Palmater, Libby Davies, Kim Stanton, Eric Pineault, Amira Elghawaby, Fred Wilson and David Climenhaga. They're coming together for this panel to discuss just how movements for progressive social change can carry their messages into the halls of power under a Liberal majority government.

We've brought this incredible group of thinkers and activists together to start the discussion about how progressive moments pivot from a decade of Harper conservatives to a new majority Liberal government under Justin Trudeau. What does a Liberal majority government mean for progressive movements? What tactics and strategies should we be considering?

rabble.ca keeps itself at the forefront of technological innovation in media and this panel discussion is no exception. rabble produced this panel using Google hangout.
