I came across this issues magazine back in November when I was looking at information about the end of the right to strike that is coming to new Harper Canada sooner than later, and thought I should share. If you are a progressive, then I would recommend you read and support the work they are doing in Canada. The following is from their Webpage:
Briarpatch is a contemporary issues magazine with a chip on its shoulder and a fire in its belly. Fiercely independent and frequently irreverent, Briarpatch tackles today’s most pressing problems from a radical, grassroots perspective. Publishing bimonthly, Briarpatch conspires to provoke, inspire and empower its readers in their efforts to build a better world.
Since 1973, Briarpatch has been serving up regular doses of news and analysis from its home in Regina, Saskatchewan. Believing that a truly free press is essential to the creation of a truly democratic society, Briarpatch provides a thoughtful, principled, and irreverent alternative to the false consensus of the corporate media. As Maude Barlow says, we’re “one of the few voices that will still challenge the corporate agenda and present workable alternatives.”
Briarpatch is printed by union labour on Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper using vegetable-based ink.
Readers who wish to write for Briarpatch are encouraged to approach us with story ideas. Briarpatch welcomes (indeed, depends upon) the assistance of volunteers and financial donors.
Opinions expressed in the magazine are not necessarily those of the Briarpatch board or staff. Please contact us before reprinting articles from the magazine (we rarely say no).
