Building class solidarity since 2009.

Another big Leveller? Readers, we're covering some pretty important and impressive happenings in Ottawa. Keep scrolling for our previous coverage of CANSEC - the trade show where attendees can get their hands on the latest technology from weapons manufacturers. We also have a large feature on how Ottawa tenants are fighting against LTB-approved rent hikes, a wrap-up on International Workers' Day in Ottawa, and a story about the Carleton administration's new way of ignoring campus demands.

Meta banned us, X is really just fascist slop, and BlueSky is (no surprise) selling out. Consider following us on places like Mastodon and Lemmy. Also, please share this newsletter with the people you know because they need to read these stories too.

We'll be here all summer. For now, here's our latest headlines:
