When looking at a map of the world, one sees that territories have been assigned to states. The underlying ideology of this situation becomes clear when we think about how static these maps are, while the colonial project in so-called Canada is actually quite dynamic. From piplines to dams that reach further and further north, a map that would accurately depict the evolution of Indigenous and settler occupation of these territories would refute any pretentions that colonialism is over.

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.

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.

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.

Le capitalisme sur ce continent a commencé dès la colonisation génocidaire des peuples autochtones et la dépossession de leurs territoires par les État-nations européens, principalement la France et l'Angleterre. L'objectif principal de cette colonisation était de contrôler le territoire pour en extraire les ressources naturelles et y établir des colonies. Par ce processus de colonisation, les hommes européens en position de pouvoir ont répandu leur société patriarcale, chrétienne et militaire au sein de ce qui est maintenant devenu un système global.
