Where does the habit of organizing demonstration every May 1st comes from? Warm weather, blooming flowers, or just the need to walk around? Nothing of the sort, even if it can helps... In reality this date is a symbol for unions everywhere, the remembrance of the struggle of American workers for the 8-hour days taking place at the end of the XIXth century.

Nous ne nous tairons pas!
Le 27 novembre 2018, à la cour municipale de Québec, ont comparu six personnes qui ont été arrêté.e.s en marge des manifestations contre le G7.
Ces personnes exerçaient pacifiquement leur droit à la libre expression et à la réunion pacifique, droits garantis par les Chartes canadienne et québécoise des droits et libertés. Les personnes arrêtées ont été détenues pendant quatre jours après avoir été arrêtées par les policiers du SPVQ et/ou de la SQ, selon le cas.
For immediate distribution.
Some CLAC activists built a house made from reused electoral campaign materials taken from a gentrified street of the Rosemont neighborhood, near the wreck of a derelict restaurant and a new condo building.
Last year, more than 168 groups from various sectors of society called for a mass protest against hate and racism. More than 2000 people took to the streets to denounce the rise of racism, hate and the far-right. The participating groups came together to reject the increasing discourse of hate and racism within Quebec’s public space, and called for a society without borders, based on solidarity and inclusion.
Now as before, they are rich because we are poor.
The financial masters of the Western world and seven of their political puppets will meet later this year at la Malbaie. They will fight to continue the exploitation of the global South and the pillaging of natural resources. The G7 will be a magnificient circus, paid for by our own exploitation. Paid by those who break themselves at work, by cut to social services, to education, to healthcare, to human dignity. A circus which will encourage free work given by unpaid internship, which will support the staggering profits of real estate moguls forcing us outside our homes. A circus whose sole goal is to promote an immoral statu quo. Imperialism and colonialism will be celebrated, at the expense of those who produce most of the world's wealth. But it is not too late to fight back.

Anti-G7 resistance is revving up! The yearly G7 meeting will happen on Friday June 8th and Saturday June 9th at the Manoir Richelieu in La Malbaie. Is there a better place than a casino to welcome the corruption and collusion of the wealthiest powers of the world? The G7 summits are used by these seven presidents and prime ministers for shaping our world, and are therefore followed everywhere by the resistance against them. We won't leave them in peace!
The next organization meeting will be held on Saturday, November 18th from 1PM to 5PM at Comité social Centre-Sud, 1710 Beaudry, near the Beaudry metro station. The room is wheelchair accessible.
