https://www.policyalternatives.ca/ - The Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives
The CCPA’s National Office: (great for research) CCPA’s National Office was established in 1980 when the Centre was founded. Located in Ottawa, it coordinates the CCPA’s national research agenda and publishes reports, studies, books and commentary on a wide range of public policy issues.
The office also publishes The Monitor, a monthly magazine sent free to all supporters; and Our Schools/Our Selves, a quarterly education journal. The National Office houses several ongoing projects: the Alternative Federal Budget, the Education Project, the Growing Gap, Making Women Count, and the Trade and Investment Research Project.
The CCPA B.C. Office works with a team of over fifty staff and volunteer researchers to investigate the key challenges facing our province — the high rate of poverty, economic insecurity, the extreme concentration of wealth and threats to our environment and climate. But we don’t stop there: we propose real, workable solutions, and we focus on public engagement so that our findings are shared as widely as possible.
http://thetyee.ca/ The Tyee strives to be a widely read and respected independent online magazine that publishes news, reviews and commentary not typically covered by B.C. and Canada's mainstream media.

http://www.desmog.ca/ DeSmog Canada exists to clear the PR pollution that is preventing us from having sensible public conversations about critical issues around the environment, social justice and the economy. We work to clear the air and to explore solutions for cleaning up Canada's polluted public square.
http://commonsensecanadian.ca/ The Common Sense Canadian is a forum for critical discussion of the key issues shaping our world today: water, energy, food security, and how we manage our resources to the public benefit while preserving of our environment.
Too often, these issues are reduced to a polarized debate along the lines of jobs vs. the environment. At The Common Sense Canadian we believe we need to pursue a future which is sustainable both economically and ecologically.
This much-needed discussion is led by our team of expert contributors, facilitated through our website, CommonSenseCanadian.ca, video, social media, a weekly email bulletin and dynamic public events. If you’re a Common Sense Canadian, we hope you’ll support what we do, share our site with your friends, family and colleagues – and join this growing conversation about the future of our society and planet.
