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.
A message from CLAC-allies. 
--- The Montreal Autonomous Tenants' Union is calling for a public demonstration this Thursday, 9am, at Lionel Groulx metro station. At 10am, police will be initiating one of 2022's largest encampment evictions, and one of the first major evictions of the fall season. We will move from Lionel Groulx to the site of the encampments.
Les ateliers se tiendront un samedi sur deux, a partir de la mi-juillet, à 19h dans la cour du DIRA (2035 Saint-Laurent):

People's Assembly
Thursday, November 3, 2016
At 1710, rue Beaudry (métro Beaudry)
Free!
Program for the evening:
Since the liberal election, resistance appears to be growing against the Couillard government’s austerity program. A double discourse has again been revealed; although cuts are made, cronyism and a refusal to tax big businesses, banks, and the rich, continue to run rampant. In 2015, the student movement announced a heated spring, while unions held back until autumn…The mood intensified during collective union agreements and numerous strikes ensued throughout Community organizations as well. Before the holidays, an agreement seemed to have been reached with the Front Common. Faced with the threat of outrageous cuts, the voices of the people were heard louder than usual, and many were relieved to have weathered the worst. Many have announced the continuation of the battle this winter.
Des ratons sont apparus sur la rue Masson !
Shiller possède le tiers de la rue Masson et une vague de commerces ferment à la suite de ses augmentations de loyer.
Les banques créent la crise et font du profit pendant que nous subissons
l'austérité due à la crise qu'elles ont créée.
La présente campagne électorale, la plus longue de toute l'histoire de la médiocratie canadienne, constitue un moment particulièrement édifiant. 78 jours de niaiseries : promesses vides, affrontements disgracieux,insultes à l'intelligence, serrages de mains...
Alors avec tout ça, Clacoon est en beau câlisse !
En direct du parlement, la CLAC vous offre quatre capsules vidéo pour vous permettre d'en rire un peu, et confirmer que peu importe le parti, c'est toujours la même marde... y'a juste les trous de cul qui changent.
Tous les quatre ans, on nous envoie aux urnes pour remanier le cirque
des capitalistes en chef: quand le parti s'est trop fait prendre à piger dans les fonds publics, ses marionnettes vont se cacher dans les grandes firmes d'avocat de Montréal1, ou sinon, elles reviennent à la politique provinciale2, au mieux elles siègent aux CA des banques3. Ces pantins se présentent comme progressistes auprès des gens de gauche, et remettent leur chapeau de cowboy pour courtiser le public du Stampede: ils suivent les même chemins et font ce qu'il faut pour qu'on pense qu'ils sont de notre bord.
Montréal, le 25 février 2015 - Nous nous réjouissons de l'annonce de la Ville de Montréal de ne pas porter en appel la décision récente du juge Randall Richmond dans le dossier des constats d’infraction liés au règlement P-6 et de retirer les accusations portées en vertu de P-6 contre les quelque 1 200 personnes dont les dossiers étaient toujours en attente. Cette décision a été rendu possible grâce au travail acharné des arrêtés et arrêtées pour démontrer au tribunal le caractère infondé des accusations portées contre eux, le manque absolu de preuve pertinente ainsi que les irrégularités et divers abus entourant les arrestations. Ce sont ces démarches autonomes qui ont mené à la décision du juge Richmond de la Cour municipale, rendue au début du mois de février, d'acquitter trois participants à un rassemblement organisé le 22 mars 2013.
Montreal's Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC-Montréal) invites you to an afternoon of skill sharing on the theme of resistance to repression Sunday, November 30, 2014 from 12:30 to 17h on the 7th floor of the Henry F. Hall Building of Concordia University (1455 boul. De Maisonneuve West, Metro Guy- Concordia).
2014 was a year of persistence in the face of repression. The protest on March 15th was repressed in its early stages, and that of May 1st was violently attacked. In 2014, Montreal was rated the second city in the world in terms of the number of arrests on May 1st.
Yesterday evening, April 23, Montreal City Council voted to maintain the anti-protest by-law P-6. It's not at City Hall that P-6 will be defeated, but rather on the streets with our continued defiance and disobedience.
78 community groups have already endorsed the public statement below, clearly stating that they will not negotiate demonstration routes with the police. We encourage more community organizations to do so as well.
Please share the statement below with local organizations. Send notifications of endorsing groups to: info@clac-montreal.net
