Stop the drive to war on Iran

Jul 222019

The Communist Party of Canada condemns the ongoing foreign belligerence and escalating drive to war against Iran and demands that the Canadian government take immediate action to de-escalate the crisis, which risks calls an all-out, regional war that could involve nuclear weapons. This includes the immediate withdrawal of all US and NATO forces from the region, and normalization of diplomatic relations with Iran.

The current crisis is the direct result of United States’ provocation, which is increasing on a daily basis.

Bombardier: Public takeover to save jobs, communities and the environment!

Jul 182019

In the wake of the recent announcement from Bombardier that it will cut 550 jobs at its Thunder Bay Rail Transportation facility, the Communist Party of Canada is reiterating its call for the aerospace and transportation corporation to be placed under public ownership and democratic control.

The job cuts are devastating to the Northern Ontario city of just over 100,000 people, where Bombardier is the 8^th largest employer. The announcement comes on the heels of 15,000 job cuts worldwide over the previous three years, including 3000 in Quebec and Ontario in November 2018. Over that same period, Bombardier received at least $4 billion in public bailouts from the federal, Ontario and Quebec governments.

La fermeture de l’Ambassade du Canada à Caracas marque un pas de plus dans les attaques impérialistes contre le Venezuela

Jun 252019

La Ligue de la jeunesse communiste et le Parti communiste du Canada dénoncent conjointement la fermeture de l’Ambassade du Canada au Venezuela ainsi que le chantage diplomatique ayant forcé, en corolaire, la Chancellerie du Venezuela, à fermer ses consulats de Montréal, Toronto et Vancouver par mesure de réciprocité.

La ministre des Affaires étrangères, Chrystia Freeland, a justifié cette décision par le fait que le Venezuela empêcherait l’accréditation de certains diplomates. Or, cette décision n’est en rien justifiable d’un point de vue diplomatique. Il s’agit d’une décision purement politique qui vise à s’investir de plus belle dans l’agression multifacétique dont est victime le Venezuela, notamment en diabolisant le gouvernement vénézuélien afin d’éventuellement mieux justifier la nécessité d’intervenir dans ce pays.

The closure of Canada’s Embassy in Caracas: a new stage of imperialist attacks on Venezuela

Jun 252019

The Young Communist League and the Communist Party of Canada jointly denounce the closure of the Canadian Embassy in Venezuela and the diplomatic blackmail that forced, in corollary, the Chancellery of Venezuela, to close its consulates in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver as a measure of reciprocity.

Foreign Affairs’ Minister Chrystia Freeland justified this decision by saying that Venezuela would refuse the accreditation of certain diplomats. This decision is in no way justifiable from a diplomatic point of view. This is a purely political decision that increases Canadian participation in the multifaceted aggression of which Venezuela is victim. It includes demonizing the Venezuelan government to justify the need to intervene in this country.

Defend Queer Rights! Fight for full equality & Socialism

Jun 232019

Banner with "Struggle for full equality" written on it

Fifty years after the historic Stonewall uprising of June 1969, the struggle for Two Spirit and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer & Questioning (2S/LGBTIQ) rights is far from over.

Pride 2019 takes place in an increasingly dangerous environment for 2S/LGBTIQ people. The backlash against inclusion, diversity and queer rights includes a deadly escalation of murders of trans women. The recent report of the Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls noted the persistent violence against two-spirit Indigenous people. Conservative provincial governments are working to undermine and roll back the equality gains achieved through decades of struggle. Neoliberal austerity policies imposed by Liberal and Conservative governments are accelerating cuts to public services, disproportionately harming 2S/LGBTIQ and other marginalized people.

Le Canada doit aller au-delà de la rhétorique creuse au Soudan

Jun 192019

Le Parti communiste du Canada condamne la violence et les meurtres commis par des éléments de l’armée soudanaise contre des manifestants pacifiques au Soudan, et nous demandons au gouvernement fédéral de prendre des mesures concrètes contre l’Arabie saoudite et les autres partisans du régime militaire du Soudan.

Plus de 100 personnes ont été tuées lors des dernières attaques à Khartoum, qui ont commencé le 3 juin lorsque les Forces de soutien rapide liées au Conseil militaire transitoire soudanais ont brutalement débarrassé les manifestants de la zone autour du quartier général des Forces armées soudanaises. De nombreux autres civils ont été blessés ou violés alors que l’armée cherche à écraser complètement le soulèvement populaire qui avait déjà réussi à évincer l’ancien dictateur de longue date du pays.

Canada must move beyond hollow rhetoric in Sudan

Jun 142019

The Communist Party of Canada condemns the violence and murders by elements of the Sudanese military against peaceful protesters in Sudan, and we call upon the federal government to take concrete action against Saudi Arabia and other supporters of Sudan’s military regime.

Trudeau & Freeland: Hands Off Venezuela!

The Communist Party Of Canada extends its unreserved solidarity to the people of Venezuela and their democratically elected government led by President Nicolas Maduro Moros. Continue reading »

Jun 082019

Le rapport publié le 3 juin par l’Enquête nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées (ENFFADA), Réclamer notre pouvoir et notre place, est une étonnante mise en accusation du bilan et des politiques génocidaires de l’État canadien, ainsi qu’un puissant appel à une action immédiate en faveur de la justice et de l’égalité. Le Parti communiste du Canada exprime sa solidarité avec toutes celles et ceux qui ont témoigné courageusement à l’enquête au cours des trois dernières années et appuie leurs revendications en faveur d’une véritable transformation de cette société.

MMIWG findings and recommendations deserve full support

Jun 082019

The report issued on June 3 by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Reclaiming Power and Place, is a stunning indictment of the genocidal record and policies of the Canadian state, and a powerful call for immediate action towards justice and equality. The Communist Party of Canada extends our solidarity to all those who courageously testified to the Inquiry over the last three years, and supports their demands for a genuine transformation of this society.
