A shift in US bank policy. A demonstration in Greece. A tsunami in Japan. These types of events can have profound effects on the economic well-being of Canadian communities. In such a heavily globalized environment, it may seem that only large corporations with access to transnational resources can operate successfully, but Canadian co-operatives demonstrate that this is not the case. Drawing on the results of a large research project that examined co-operatives in communities from coast to coast to coast, Co-operative Canada reveals how Canadians are collectively responding to the forces of globalization through local, community-owned enterprises.

Hungry for change? Put the power of food co-ops on your plate and grow your local food economy. Food has become ground-zero in our efforts to increase awareness of how our choices impact the world. Yet while we have begun to transform our communities and dinner plates, the most authoritative strand of the food web has received surprisingly little attention: the grocery store—the epicenter of our food-gathering ritual. Through penetrating analysis and inspiring stories and examples of American and Canadian food co-ops, Grocery Story makes a compelling case for the transformation of the grocery store aisles as the emerging frontier in the local and good food movements. Author Jon Steinman: Deconstructs the food retail sector and the shadows cast by corporate giants Makes the case for food co-ops as an alternative Shows how co-ops spur the creation of local food-based economies and enhance low-income food access. Grocery Story is for everyone who eats. Whether you strive to eat more local and sustainable food, or are in support of community economic development, Grocery Story will leave you hungry to join the food co-op movement in your own community.

The Special Committee on Cooperatives met in Ottawa on July 10 and from July 24 to 27, hearing from a total of 46 organizations. The Committee also received more than 60 written documents from the co-operative sector stakeholders. This report provides a summary of that evidence and contains recommendations to the Government of Canada. The report's structure is based on the motion adopted by the House of Commons, and the recommendations to the Government of Canada are presented in the report's conclusion (Chapter V); the report's four other chapters provide background to those recommendations. Chapter I describes the strategic role of co-operatives in the Canadian economy. Chapter II examines the fiscal and monetary issues respecting co-operatives in Canada, while the issue of access to funding for co-operatives is addressed in Chapter III. Chapter IV discusses certain legal issues associated with Canadian co-operatives.

Abstract: Canadian co-operatives have been linked with the international co-operative movement since it started over 100 years ago. Over the years, some linkages have strengthened and others have withered. This paper briefly describes the international cooperative organizations that exist today and the extent of Canadian involvement in them. It also outlines the potential for future development of these relationships.

For the past three decades, neoclassical doctrine has dominated economic theory and policy. The balance of power has shifted to protect private interests, resulting in unprecedented damage to the environment and society, with no solution in sight as more austerity and less government continues to be posited as the answer to the oncoming waves of crisis. It doesn't have to be this way. Featuring a remarkable roster of internationally renowned critical thinkers, Co-operatives in a Post-Growth Era presents a feasible alternative for a more environmentally sustainable and equitable economic system - specifically, the co-operative business model. With more than 100 million people working in co-operatives and more than a billion members around the world, the time has never been better for co-operatives everywhere to recognise their potential to change the economic landscape. An essential book for students, policymakers and concerned citizens looking for a practical way to change the current stagnant economic paradigm.

Located in the heart of Winnipeg's Northend, the most class-conscious and ethnically diverse part of the city, the People's Co-op was always a different kind of institution. Founded and then successfully run for over sixty years by members of Winnipeg's vibrant left-wing Eastern-European community, this co-op mixed Marx, milk and the masses into a heady brew of social activism and co-operative enterprise. Beginning with a small coal and fuel yard in 1928-and a much larger dream of changing the world, this overtly Marxist co-op quickly established itself as an important business and social presence in the North End. It eventually branched out into the dairy trade, established a lumber yard, a public garage and at one time owned and operated two dairy plants in rural Manitoba. At its height, it employed over 150 men and women and contributed millions of dollars to the Manitoba economy-all of this in the face of cut-throat competition and well-orchestrated campaigns of red-baiting. Heavily illustrated with never before seen photos and images, this is an illustrated history both of a co-operative business enterprise and a unique social institution.
