What happened

Mobilization

The stickers and posters came out at the end of March. There was a huge amount of postering, the zines were almost all distributed, and at the end we had the luxury of circulating flyers as a reminder, especially around Cégep du Vieux-Montréal and Cégep St-Laurent. No doubt, this year’s mobilization was the most intense since at least 2011.

Capitalist globalization has wrecked the lives of the overwhelming majority of the Earth’s population. Neo-liberal policies over the past 30 years have only accelerated this misery, leading to the crisis in 2008. On a global scale, neo-liberal policies and trade agreements have led to the creation of export processing zones in the global south and entrenched privatization and the destruction of labour laws have seen manufacturing jobs shift from the global north to the global south. This shift in the name of seeking greater profits is ruining domestic economies and forcing millions to migrate to the global north in search of a better future.

Montréal, le 11 juin 2012 -- Depuis jeudi soir (le 7 juin 2012), plusieurs super-larbins du Capital, tel que Jean Charest, l'ancien sous-fifre québécois de Stephen Harper, Michaël Fortier, et Robert Poëti, le verrat à la retraite recyclé en porte-parole des grosses polices, ont affirmé « ne pas comprendre » que l'on puisse vouloir perturber un événement de «charité» comme le gala d'ouverture du Grand Prix, ostensiblement organisé au bénéfice des fondations des hôpitaux Sainte-Justine et Sacré-Coeur.

G20 countries account for almost 2/3 of the global population, but there is an enormous difference in living standards between the rich and the poor nations.

Over the last decade, an estimated 180 million people (almost 3% of the world’s population) have been forced into migration, and are living outside of their birth country.

Migration is caused by capitalist disaster; political conflict and war; ecological destruction; poverty; and ethnic, religious and gender persecution.

On m’a demandé de partager avec vous ma lecture de la crise, mais surtout des réponses, des actions, des pistes de solution.
