While the situation in Canada is less catastrophic than in other parts of the world, we are all feeling the weight of increasingly worrisome inflation. Prices are rising faster than wages and we are left with no real leverage to act on the situation. In the neoliberal order, the bourgeois do what they want and people suffer without saying a word. Rents, groceries and transport are an increasing burden on us, and it is a safe bet that things will not get any better.
Manifestation
À l'assaut du palais
Manifestation mercredi 7 décembre au matin! 3 départs:
On November 27th, at 2PM, at the corner of Dorchester/Greene (Atwater metro), the Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC) is calling for a demonstration in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en people of British Columbia, who are fighting the canadian colonial state.
Le 1er mai 2022, suite à l'appel de la Convergence des lutte anticapitalistes (CLAC), plus d'un demi-millier de personnes ont pris la rue pour la journée des travailleuses et des travailleurs. Le thème mis de l'avant cette année était : "Colonial et écocidaire, le capitalisme c'est la guerre !". La manifestation a débuté à 17h30 à la Place du Canada, dans le centre-ville, après plusieurs discours de militantes autochtones Anishnabées/Ojibwe et Kanyen'kehà:ka.
Toutes les dernières infos pour la manif ! Les contingents, les autres événements le premier mai, les endossements et plus encore !
The Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC) denounces the violent repression of its demonstration again this year. Indeed, the SPVM proceeded, as usual, to unjustified and brutal arrests. The police used truncheons and tear gas to silence the people who are tired of being exploited every day to enrich the nauseating bourgeoisie and their companies that profit from COVID-19. Several people were injured and the police even destroyed the cell phone of one participant.
- MayDay 2021: We don’t want this world they are trying to sell us!
- Meet up at 4PM at Jarry park, at the corner of Gary-Carter and St-Laurent.
The pandemic we are mired in precarize everyone and highlights serious injustices. The stimulus wished by the leaders is an economic stimulus which is not addressed to us. It is not addressed to the artists and other people who don’t make enough profit to merit the right to exist. It does not concern sex workers, whose existence itself is still criminalized. This stimulus ignores handicapped people, the marginalized, those with mental health issues. The stimulus they talk about, it is for the oil companies, the Bombardier corporations, the party friends like Guzzo, but it is not for us. To let the governments save us from the crisis they created themselves through the constant cuts to healthcare and through their "snowbird" lives, would be to accept death. What we need to stimulate is not the economy, but the struggles for our rights and the end of capitalist exploitation.
- No interview will be given to corporatist mass media.
- Special fuck you to Québecor Média and its peddlers of hate.

Why did we protest again?
May 1st was created out of workers' struggles leaded by immigrants. The struggle took place on this continent more than a hundred years ago. Today, globalized imperialist capitalism created conditions which forces millions of people to leave their home in order to find a refuge to survive. These millions of people are place in situations of extreme vulnerability, creating a stateless and exploitable population. According to an article published in the Devoir today, the risk to suffer from workplace accident causing severe wounds or death is twice as high for foreign workers.
- On Wednesday May 1st, at 6:30pm, in Square Cabot, the anticapitalist caravan is back at it again to say fuck your borders and fuck your prisons!
- Meetup at 6:30 in Cabot square (Atwater metro station).
- Large demonstration against racism
- Sunday, October 7th, 2018 at 3PM
- Emilie-Gamelin Park
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.
150 years of colonialism is nothing to celebrate!

Hi!
We're reaching out to allied groups and individuals all over so-called “Canada” because we want to organize an anti-colonial Anti-Canada day on July 1st in Montreal. We'd like to propose you do the same in your city, to have demonstrations, events, disruptions and anti-colonial actions all across Canada.
Meet up at Place Pasteur, St-Denis street (between Ste-Catherine and Maisonneuve), on Thursday, August 11th, at 6PM!
Because, for the first time ever, the World Social Forum takes place in North America. This is an historic opportunity to see another side of modern capitalism: instead of seeing the poverty and exploitation of the Southern states, the attendees will be able to observe the wealth and decadence of the North.
Punto de encuentro : Es una cita al Place Pasteur, calle St-Denis (entre Ste-Catherine y Maisonneuve) el Jueves 11 de agosto a las 6h pm!
Es la primera vez que el Foro social mundial tiene lugar en un país del Norte. Esta gira del foro en Montreal, es una oportunidad histórica de ver la otra cara de la moneda : en vez de constatar el empobrecimiento y explotación en los países del Sur, los participantes van a poder observar el enriquecimiento y la decadencia de los países del Norte.
