Creating Through the Crisis

Creating Through the Crisis #16

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, March 13, 2025

As a federal election looms here in Canada, I have been thinking lately about how voting for liberals – small ‘l’ or large – is never going to save us. Mainstream political life in lots of countries in the 21st century takes the shape of an electoral choice between the hard right or the far …

Learning from Movements – Florence Stratton

By Scott Neigh on Monday, March 3, 2025

(Originally published at The Media Co-op.) Florence Stratton has been involved in social justice struggles since the 1960s. She lives in Regina, Saskatchewan, and in the last decade, her work has been particularly focused on efforts to end homelessness. She is also active with many different groups focused on peace, ending poverty, public transit, Palestine …

Creating Through the Crisis #15

By Scott Neigh on Friday, February 28, 2025

This week, I’ve been thinking about a book – You Can’t Please All: Memoirs 1980-2024 by Tariq Ali, published by Verso in 2024. I’ve been thinking about it, but I’ve been quite uncertain how to talk about it. Let me explain. Tariq Ali is a well-known radical and writer. He was born into a prominent …

Creating Through the Crisis #14

By Scott Neigh on Friday, February 21, 2025

This week, I’ve been thinking about left political sensibility…and about how I’m worried that mine is not the best suited for the era that we’re entering. I’m not a big believer in generational explanations for political things. Sure, your age, or your life stage, or the fact that you’re a Boomer or a Millenial or …

Creating Through the Crisis

Creating Through the Crisis #13

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, February 13, 2025

I’ve been thinking, this week, about the politics of communication and about an older radical that I used to do activist stuff with. The starting point for this reflection is an article that I read. The topic of the article doesn’t matter, but it was smart and I mostly agreed with it. But I was …

Creating Through the Crisis #12

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, February 6, 2025

I’ve been thinking, this past week, about the distinctly chaotic, disorienting feel that the world has when Donald Trump is sitting on the throne in the United States. In saying this, I’m not claiming he has some sort of monopoly on awfulness – to give just one example, clearly that is not the case given …

Creating Through the Crisis #11

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, January 30, 2025

I’ve been thinking, lately, about elections. This is probably not a shock – I live in Ontario, Canada, and there is a provincial election in Ontario happening in late February, and there will probably be a federal election not too long after that. I don’t particularly want to talk about the specifics of those elections, …

Creating Through the Crisis

Creating Through the Crisis #10

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, January 23, 2025

As I write, Los Angeles is burning. At this stage in the climate crisis, there is nothing new about hearing that fires, floods, storms, or other disasters clearly connected to the crisis are doing massive damage to people, places, ecosystems. The progression of such things is one terrible metric of how the crisis is getting …

Book Review Creating Through the Crisis

Creating Through the Crisis #9

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, January 16, 2025

This week, I’ve been thinking quite a lot about a book I read – Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together by Ken Grossinger (New York: The New Press, 2023). It is a short, richly researched book about – as the title suggests – the integration of arts and music …

Creating Through the Crisis #8

By Scott Neigh on Thursday, January 9, 2025

One very obvious component of the writing practice that I’ve taken up in these “Creating Through the Crisis” posts is the need to come up with something to write about each week. My basic approach to doing that is to think about what has been on my mind lately, and then choose one of those …
