From November 22nd to 25th, NATO's parliamentary assembly will be in Montreal for its mortifying circus. From a military alliance during the Cold War, NATO has today become the armed wing of Western countries, imposing its bellicose policies throughout the world. Faced with these war profiteers, it is imperative that we make our voices heard and combat their destructive logic.
The impact of NATO on our policies is huge:
Nous ne nous tairons pas!
Le 27 novembre 2018, à la cour municipale de Québec, ont comparu six personnes qui ont été arrêté.e.s en marge des manifestations contre le G7.
Ces personnes exerçaient pacifiquement leur droit à la libre expression et à la réunion pacifique, droits garantis par les Chartes canadienne et québécoise des droits et libertés. Les personnes arrêtées ont été détenues pendant quatre jours après avoir été arrêtées par les policiers du SPVQ et/ou de la SQ, selon le cas.
Anti-G7 resistance is revving up! The yearly G7 meeting will happen on Friday June 8th and Saturday June 9th at the Manoir Richelieu in La Malbaie. Is there a better place than a casino to welcome the corruption and collusion of the wealthiest powers of the world? The G7 summits are used by these seven presidents and prime ministers for shaping our world, and are therefore followed everywhere by the resistance against them. We won't leave them in peace!
The next organization meeting will be held on Saturday, November 18th from 1PM to 5PM at Comité social Centre-Sud, 1710 Beaudry, near the Beaudry metro station. The room is wheelchair accessible.

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.
Dans cette situation de crise mondiale, où tout ne tient qu'à un fil, les politiciens et PDG s'arrangent pour rassurer les marchés. C’est ainsi que se multiplient les accords économiques, qui garantissent aux investisseurs des rendements sans cesse croissants puisqu’ils permettent aux entreprises de faire ce qu'elles veulent, où elles veulent.
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!

Toronto G20: The last CLAC organizer still accused of conspiracy sees his charges withdrawn!
CLAC condemns the legal circus and the criminalization of dissent
Montréal, November 23rd 2011 – Yesterday, in a packed courtroom at the Ontario Court of
Justice in Toronto, the Crown counsel in charge of prosecuting the so-called “Main G20
Conspiracy Group” dropped all conspiracy charges against 17 organizers from Southern
Ontario and Québec.
One of the 17, Patrick Cadorette, an organizer from the Anti-capitalist Convergence of
Montréal (CLAC), had all his charges withdrawn by the Crown after almost 18 months spent
under restrictive conditions, including 11 months under house arrest.
This new development is a result of a plea agreement between Crown and Defense counsel.
Of the 17 charged with conspiracy, six pled guilty to “counseling” mischief, while the 11 others
have had all their charges dropped.
“The public has heard a lot about police brutality and mass arrests at the G20 summit,”
Cadorette says, “but the repression went a lot deeper than pictures of angry policemen beating
on demonstrators. We now know that there was a complex strategy aimed at criminalizing
political dissent and anti-capitalist organizing. This strategy included infiltration by undercover
cops, the surveillance of various movements, the intimidation and harassment of activists, and
hundreds of illegal searches and arbitrary detentions during the summit itself. The legal and
penal system also played a major role in this strategy to criminalize dissent. Through imposing
draconian bail conditions like strict non-association with targeted community organizations, long
term house arrest, and banning organizing or attending public demonstrations, legal authorities
clearly meant to weaken movements working for social and environmental justice and to
discourage people who identify with these movements from getting involved. Add to all this the
serious criminal charges targeting organizers, public defamation, and bail hearings held in the
climate of mass hysteria following the protests, as well as the staggering amounts requested
for cash bail, and you have all the elements of a perfect plan to demonize and criminalize
political activism.”

Montreal, June 21, 2011 -- Today, Montrealer Jaggi Singh, a member of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC), was sentenced for "counselling" people to tear down the G20 security fence in Toronto. Last April 28th, he pleaded guilty to encouraging people to tear down the illegitimate fence that shielded the heads of state of the G20 from popular rage on June 26th and 27th, 2010 in Toronto. The Crown has asked the judge to impose an exemplary sentence of six months' imprisonment, while admitting that no sentence, even the harshest, could make Jaggi change his political views.
Quand on participe à la lutte anticapitaliste durant plusieurs années, on finit par se faire arrêter par la police à un moment ou à un autre, c'est un signe que ce qu'on fait dérange. Si vous militez depuis longtemps et que vous ne vous êtes jamais fait arrêter, soit : 1- félicitations, vous avez une excellente culture de sécurité, ou 2- changez de stratégie, le gouvernement n'a pas peur de vous pantoute!
