En ce moment-même, des migrantEs sont en prison juste à côté de nous dans une prison à Laval. Plutôt que de se poser la question s’il est normal d’enfermer des migrantEs, le gouvernement canadien travaille plutôt à leur construire des murs neufs. Une nouvelle prison, dédiée pour enfermer des familles, parents et enfants.
(Im)Migration Struggles / Lutte des migrant·e·s
As part of the new National Immigration Detention Framework, the government set aside $5 million to implement what it calls “alternatives to detention”. After years of hunger strikes by migrants being held in provincial jails in Ontario and a massive support campaign by the End Immigration Detention Network, this new Framework seems to be the government’s response. Migrants were mainly demanding an end to indefinite detention.
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.

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.
We are opposed to the proposed Quebec Charter of Values (now known as Bill 60)
From the outset, the proposed Charter and related debate fails to recognize that Quebec and Canada are built on stolen Indigenous land, and constituted through the dispossession and genocide of Indigenous peoples. We assert our solidarity and support with Indigenous struggles for self-determination and cultural integrity.
We are for equality between all genders but we also assert our support for struggles against patriarchy, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism and all forms of oppression.
We oppose those aspects of the Charter that attack the personal dignity and self-determination of our fellow Quebec residents, including their ability to work and survive in major sectors of the economy.
We assert that the introduction of the Charter of Values is both hypocritical and xenophobic. It is hypocritical because ostentatious symbols of one religion will remain untouched (specifically the Duplessis crucifix in the National Assembly as well as the cross on Mont-Royal). It is xenophobic because Charter supporters are appealing to sensationalized and false fears of other cultures and traditions, as part of an electoral calculation to win the votes of bigots.
