Housing a Basic Right or Playground for Global Capital? – Paul Jay
In this video, we explore how Wall Street firms, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), and private equity giants are reshaping housing markets—treating homes as hedge funds and tenants as revenue streams. The result? Displacement, skyrocketing rents, and the collapse of housing as a public good.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if we took housing out of the hands of corporate landlords and made it public infrastructure—like schools, libraries, and transit systems?

Dress Rehearsal for a Police State: Fifteen Years Ago at the Toronto G20 – Paul Jay
In this introduction, journalist Paul Jay reports on several cases where police provocateurs incited violence during otherwise peaceful demonstrations—providing authorities with the pretext they needed to justify mass arrests and repression.
As federal troops crackdown on peaceful protests in Los Angeles, we revisit the Toronto G20—15 years ago—when police beat peaceful demonstrators, arrested over 1,100 people, and suspended civil liberties under the pretext of security.
Journalist Paul Jay connects what happened in 2010 to what’s happening now: the criminalization of dissent, from the mass raids on pro-Palestinian activists in Toronto to the militarized repression unfolding in U.S. cities today.
This video includes a newly recorded introduction and the original 2012 report:
“No Accountability Yet for Toronto G20 Police Crimes.”
What happened in Toronto wasn’t an exception—it was a warning.

Will AI Kill Us—or Help Save Us? It Depends On Who Owns It – Paul Jay
Paul Jay explores the growing danger of artificial intelligence not as an evil superintelligence but as a system reflecting the values of those who control it: corporate monopolies, military planners, and billionaires racing for dominance.
Jay connects AI to nuclear weapons, Trump’s so-called “Golden Dome,” and the broader logic of profit-driven power. But he also argues there’s a different path—one grounded in public ownership, democratic oversight, and AI that serves human needs, not corporate greed.

Extraction, Destruction of Ecosystems, and Fires in North America – Éric Pineault
Éric Pineault, professor of ecological economics at the Institute of Environmental Sciences at the University of Quebec in Montreal, explains how the fires raging in Canada are a corollary of the paradigm termed Extreme Oil. He discusses various oil and gas projects across North America, as well as the Canadian government’s support for the Trans Mountain Pipeline project, and how terms such as “net zero” and “carbon neutral” are misleading and conveniently serve Big Oil’s aims.
His recent book A Social Ecology of Capital presents an empirical analysis of capitalist societies, which both builds on and enhances Marxist theories by accounting for the energy extraction and colonization of ecosystems, a characteristic of what he terms our “fossil-industrial” society. His conception of capitalist metabolism outlines extractivism, production, consumption, and waste dissipation, which leads to an absorption of surplus energy, capital accumulation, and profit maximization. Most importantly, how is this understanding of social ecology useful for furthering a project of emancipation?
