Where Do We Go From Here?
Where Do We Go From Here?
Many people ask if under the Trudeau government there will be changes made to the immigration system that will ease up border controls; controls which were intensified under Stephen Harper. We know that Canada is founded on and continues to exist because of the everyday violence and oppression created by capitalism and colonialism.
Colonialism, Land Theft & Borders
Colonialism, Land Theft & Borders
Since its very foundation, Canada has remained a colonial occupation of territories never surrendered by the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. Using occupying state structures such as police, courts, deportation, prisons and detention centres, Canadians “protect” Canadian borders as part of a continued struggle for ownership and control of Indigenous territories.

Immigrant Workers in Montreal: The Rise of The New Precariat
Immigrant Workers in Montreal: The Rise of The New Precariat
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.

Community Statement: “Ensemble contre la Charte xénophobe” ("Together Against the Xenophobic Charter")
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.

G8 and G20 dictates for migration control: a primer
G8 and G20 dictates for migration control: a primer
May 23rd 2010
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.

Au cours des derniers mois, le Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité (SCRS) et la Gendarmerie Royal du Canada (GRC) ont effectué plusieurs visites chez des militants et militantes à travers le Canada. Ces visites ont été effectuées dans le contexte des mobilisations contre les jeux olympiques à Vancouver et contre le Sommet du G8/G20 à Toronto. Certains groupes, ayant publiquement pris des positions contraires à l’agenda du gouvernement canadien, ont été particulièrement ciblés.
