Hi all.
As some of you may have experienced, Survey Monkey did not really like the conference list email address and it might have denied you access to the survey. I have resent the survey to your individual email addresses. This should resolve any difficulties. Apologies for the extra step and, of course, please let me know if you have other problems.
Best,
Paul

Hi everyone.
Attached are various documents associated with the debate around Basic Income. John Clarke of the ON Coalition Against Poverty is one of the names recommended for our roundtable, his position on Basic Income is for us to be careful what we wish for.
Fyi.

Socialist Interventions Pamphlet No. 16:
Basic Income In The Neoliberal Age
Ontario Coalition Against Poverty
From the very first days of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP),
at the beginning of the 1990s, we have found ourselves on the front lines
of a war on the poor that has been of central importance to the
implementation of broader neoliberal austerity. In Canada, the undermining
of these income support systems, both at the federal and provincial level,
has continued to be vigorously pursued and the poverty and insecurity that
this has generated has created the vulnerability and desperation needed in
order to weaken workers’ bargaining power, reduce the capacity of unions
to resist and to facilitate a veritable explosion of low wage precarious
work. In light of this dogged pursuit of austerity based agenda over so
many years, news that the Ontario government was likely to set up a Basic
Income (BI) pilot, supposedly so as to put in place a measure that would
decrease poverty and provide more adequate and secure income, struck us as
a gift horse whose mouth we should carefully examine. While our particular
concern was to look at what was unfolding in Ontario, a critical look at
the whole BI concept was also in order. As we began to explore the various
versions of this social policy that are put forward, it became clear that
the neoliberal right has its own sense of the possibilities of BI.
This pamphlet explores the concept of BI and particularly its deployment as
part of state welfare policies today, and the challenges being posed for
the struggles of the anti-poverty movement in Canada.

Jim asked me to re-send this file to the listserv. It unintentionally omitted one name: Baldemar Velasquez (FLOC) as a possible keynote speaker.

Hi all,
Here is the list of names proposed thus far that I agreed to compile. Apologies for any omissions.
Some people listed under one roundtable might be suitable for another roundtable too.
For those who weren't at Saturday's meeting: we have until Dec. 31 to propose other names for consideration.
Cheers,
David

Hi everyone.
Enclosed please find a bio for Phillip Jennings, the General Secretary of the global union, UNI, I mentioned him briefly on Saturday. I have met him but do not know him well, I have seen him speak and believe he would do a great job as a keynote speaker for our conference.
Regards,
Paul

Hi again. Apologies for the confusion. To be clear, the formal listserv is being created. However, I got the impression on Saturday that some people wanted to move on things, so I decided to forward the most up-to-date list I have.

Hi Paul,
I've received your e-mails but I don't see a listserv address (e.g. 1919conference-l(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919conference-l@umanitoba.ca>)
In my view, we need a real listserv on the U of M system, not a string of addresses.

Hi all.
You may already have received a version of this morning, but I was having trouble with Krishna's email. Things are looking pretty tidy on my end, but there are a range of email account types (e.g. mts, gmail, cupe), so there may be some variance in encryption, etc.

Hi, all!
So, I have updated (slightly) our website, which I will further improve
upon this weekend. Some unexpected difficulties persist owing to our choice
of website name and via our host site, wordpress.com. I will explain all
today when we meet. What I have discovered is that using numerals in one's
website name presents some complications. It is what it is...
In advance of our meeting today, please visit our current webpage as such:
http://1919-2019.com
What's more, please see our Financial Sub-Committee's draft appeal package
(attached), which is soon-to-be ready for release on our website and
elsewhere! The attached is a compressed version for email purposes.
All my best! See you in a few hours!
Krishna
