End US interference and provocations now!

The Communist Party strongly condemns the 64 year old US economic blockade of Cuba which is a major contributor to the current economic difficulties in Cuba including a shortage of food and electricity. This is the whole purpose of the US blockade as stated in this 1960 US State Department memo:

“every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba…to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation, and the overthrow of government.”

End Canada’s participation in genocide and escalation towards a wider war

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada condemns the Canadian government’s ongoing support for Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza as well as Canada’s role in provoking a potentially devastating wider regional war.

UN ceasefire vote an important victory – end the Israeli war in Gaza now!

The overwhelming vote on December 13 by the United Nations General Assembly in favour of a non-binding resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is an important victory for the growing international campaign to condemn Israel’s war against the Palestinian people. The final vote was 153 in favour, 23 abstentions, and only 10 opposed (the US, Israel, Austria, the Czech Republic, and a handful of tiny US client states). By comparison, the Arab-sponsored resolution on Oct. 27 for a “humanitarian truce” saw 121 countries voting in favour, 14 against, and 44 abstaining. This time, two months of massive street protests against the criminal Israeli war in Gaza forced PM Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to change their position; Canada, which has always backed Israel in previous General Assembly votes, joined the rest of the world in calling for a ceasefire. Overall, these votes indicate a deeper fracturing of the so-called “western consensus” and the growing diplomatic and political isolation of the US and Israel.

After over three weeks of bloody conflict and the looming spectre of a genocide in Gaza, the Communist Party of Canada reaffirms its support for the Palestinian people and their right to resistance recognized under international law. We condemn Israel and its Zionist policy of violent colonization, occupation, and apartheid as the primary driver of this catastrophe that has claimed the lives of over 10,000 people, with 70% being women and children.

Après plus de trois semaines de conflit sanglant et devant un génocide qui se profile à Gaza, le Parti communiste du Canada réitère son appui au peuple palestinien et à son droit à la résistance reconnu par le droit international. Nous condamnons Israël et sa politique sioniste de colonisation, d’occupation et d’apartheid comme principal responsable de cet hécatombe qui a couté la vie à plus de 10 000 personnes (dont 70% de femmes et d’enfants).

Stop Israel’s war crimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide

The bombing of the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza is a horrific war crime committed by the Zionist Netanyahu government. It is a key part of its policy to annex Gaza, killing or driving out the Palestinian population. This is ethnic cleansing. This is genocide. This is fascism. These are crimes against humanity that the Canadian government, the labour and democratic movements, and people of good conscience everywhere must condemn and oppose. Failure to speak out now is complicity.

The Communist Party of Canada calls for an immediate ceasefire to the new war unfolding in the Middle East for which the far-right Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu bears full responsibility, and for which the people of Gaza and Israel are paying with their lives.

Le 50e anniversaire du 11 septembre 1973 évoque des souvenirs sombres de l’un des actes les plus infâmes de terreur et de violence impérialistes. Trois ans après la victoire historique de septembre 1970, le président démocratiquement élu Salvador Allende et son gouvernement de l’Unité populaire sont renversés par une junte militaire soutenue par l’impérialisme états-unien.
