Socialist Alternative is a socialist group in Canada which describes itself as active in youth and student activities, the unions, environmental movements, and other campaigns for economic and social justice because capitalism is incapable of providing a society where the working class and its allies, in Canada and internationally, can have a good quality of life on a healthy planet.[1]
It works closely with Alternative Socialiste in Quebec and is affiliated internationally with the Committee for a Workers' International, an international socialist organization headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The CWI section in America, which has the same name, has attracted some attention.[2]
