Parce que les coupures dans les programmes sociaux, la privatisation et la tarification des services publics n'ont rien de nouveau;
parce que « politiques d'austérité », c'est juste une autre expression pour « politiques néolibérales »;
parce que de tout temps, les pauvres ont payé pour les riches;
parce que l'exploitation des travailleurs et travailleuses, des ressources naturelles et la destruction de l'environnement se sont toujours faits au nom du profit à tout prix;
parce que l'histoire d'horreur, c'est aussi celle de plus de 500 ans de colonialisme et d'impérialisme;
parce que le problème c'est pas l'austérité, c'est le capitalisme!
La CLAC appelle à la formation d'un contingent anticapitaliste lors de la manifestation «L'austérité, une histoire d'horreur» (www.nonauxhausses.org), le 31 octobre prochain à 11h (coin McGill College et Maisonneuve).
La rage des oppriméEs finira par triompher!

LE PROFILAGE POLITIQUE, Y'EN A MARRE !
Lieu: Devant l'hôtel de ville (275 Notre-Dame est, métro Champs-de-Mars)
*english follows*
Une réunion régulière du conseil municipal de Montréal aura lieu à l'Hôtel de Ville, le 24 novembre prochain. Invitons-nous-y pour dénoncer haut et fort le profilage politique de plus en plus flagrant à Montréal!
Depuis de nombreuses années, on nous dit qu’il faut se serrer la ceinture, que le gouvernement doit sauver l’économie, qu’il faut rembourser la sacro-sainte dette et qu’il nous faut absolument prendre des mesures d’austérité. Durant ce temps, c’est dans nos conditions de vie qu’ils ont coupé. Alors que les grandes entreprises et les plus riches de notre société ne cessent d’augmenter leurs profits, nous, au bas de la pyramide sociale, on a de la difficulté à joindre les deux bouts.

International Week of Struggle against Parasites
Because misfortunes never come singly ... for 19 years now, Montreal's Formula 1 Grand Prix is immediately followed by a second parasitical invasion. More discrete, but every bit as virulent: the International Economic Forum of the Americas, otherwise known as the Conference of Montreal.
This annual meeting of capitalist parasites, Power Corp's privileged invitees, created at the same time as the World Trade Organization (WTO), has the unenviable reputation of being the "Davos of the Americas".
"The Conference of Montreal is committed to heightening knowledge and awareness of the major issues concerning economic globalization, with a particular emphasis on the relations between the Americas and other continents."
Montreal is thus invaded every year by hundreds of internationally important jerks: directors of central banks, finance ministers, industrial leaders, high-ranking officials, financial barons, chiefs of international financial institutions (World Bank, IMF, etc.) and a whole raft of profiteers of the same ilk.
From year to year, these nasty leeches, profitting from the fact that their little get-together passes under the radar, decide on the broad direction of global capitalist exploitation behind closed doors.
The very least we can do is disrupt this obscene banquet!
Formal dress strongly suggested!!

International Week of Struggle against Parasites
Every year at the beginning of summer, for years now, Montreal has fallen prey to a strange fever. For a period of several days, the air labours under a dense and foul-smelling cloud, residents suffer from a kind of collective tinnitus, a persistent and irritating ringing which disturbs thought and sleep. Many neighbourhoods, especially downtown, are invaded by hordes of blank-faced zombies, stripped of their senses and moving mechanically under the hypnotic influence of a malevolent power.
This disturbing state of affairs is brought on by tens of thousands of parasites who swarm into our beautiful city, stifling its habitual joy of living and injecting it with a paralyzing venom.
Every year, in the month of June, Montreal falls prey to the macho and consumerist virus of the Grand Prix!
Creeping politicians and flashy de luxe dealers are pumping themselves up to suck the blood of this crowd, handed over on a giant checker-board.
Streets are blocked off so that we can be subjected to grosteque advertising and alienating shows.
The forces of repression outdo themselves to maintain the commercial peace.
This year, the Convergence of Anti-Capitalist Struggles (CLAC) is proposing an antidote:
We won't let car culture drive us off the road!
IT IS TIME TO COLLECTIVELY RE-APPROPRIATE OUR SPACE!
Fuck the Grand Prix! Down with car culture!
6 June to 13 June: call for autonomous action!!!!
