Our objectives at PLQ McGill are numerous and ambitious. First of all, we wish to promote global liberal ideas and values, as well as Canadian federalism within McGill University. Furthermore, we seek to encourage greater political implication among McGill students and further openness toward Québec political life. Finally, widening the partisan roots of the Québec Liberal Party by registering new members at the university is also a crucial objective of the club.

To attain these goals we host political debates and forums, as well as Policy Commission Meetings to develop new ideas, which will then be sent to the QLP Youth Commission. Those meetings will give McGill students the possibility of having their opinion being heard.

The members of Socialist Fightback seek to pique student interest in Marxist political theory (and practice). We are opposed to a world where austerity is the norm, while at the same time 85 people own as much wealth as the lower 3.5 billion. As Marxists, we seek to build a world without hunger, poverty, and unemployment by instituting public democratic ownership over the main productive forces of the economy.

Our club organizes events about twice a month where we have movie screenings, presentations, and/or reading groups to discuss various topics of Marxist theory.
