Definition

  • Operation Solidarity refers to a series of campaigns in 1983 in British Columbia, Canada, to protest and overturn the most regressive neoliberal program yet imposed on working people in the West. It brought together a coalition of social movement groups who organized rotating demonstrations to raise awareness of a program of fiscal restraint and social devastation wrought by the Social Credit government of British Columbia under Premier Bill Bennett.
