Bill C-13: Too Little, Too Late for Working People

Mar 272020

No To Corporate Bailouts!

While 1 million people applied for EI last week, and millions more worried they couldn’t pay the rent next week, Parliament passed Bill C-13 to provide $2,000 a month for a maximum 4 months to those ineligible for Employment Insurance. Along with increases in the Child Benefit and payment deferrals for income tax and student loans, this is what workers will get from the Trudeau government’s Canada Emergency Response Benefit, but not until mid-April when payments will begin to flow.

In Canada’s big cities, that won’t even cover the rent on a one-bedroom apartment, let alone groceries or utilities.

For those lucky enough to still qualify for EI, the wait-time has been cut, but the benefits remain at just 55% of previous earnings. Not enough to live on for long, either.

JIF 2020: les femmes se lèvent

Mar 072020

Partout dans le monde, les femmes se lèvent pour l’égalité des droits, contre la guerre et pour la justice environnementale et climatique. En Inde, les femmes sont à l’avant-garde de manifestations massives contre le gouvernement réactionnaire et nationaliste hindou du Parti Bharatiya Janata de Narendra Modi. Au Chili, des femmes sont descendues dans les rues lors des manifestations contre les politiques d’austérité, et leur chant et leur danse de protestation contre la violence sexuelle ont fait le tour du monde. Cuba modernise son Code de la famille, principal cadre juridique de la vie et des relations familiales, et montre encore la voie vers l’égalité des sexes.

Cuba is modernizing its Family Code, the main legal framework for family life and relations, and again leading the way for gender equality.

Solidarity and Action to Oppose the Anti-democratic Attacks of the Modi Government in India

Feb 202020

Over the past six months, the right-wing, pro-U.S. imperialist BJP/RSS Government of India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has moved sharply to attack the constitutional underpinnings of India as a secular, democratic state which have been in place ever since its emancipation of British colonial rule in 1947. These dangerous moves are part of a broader agenda in practices the ideas of communalism and Hindu nationalism on both the state and society, at the expense of various minorities, especially the very large Muslim minority which constitutes almost 15% of the entire population of India.

Anti-China racism must be rejected

Feb 132020

The dangerous upsurge in Sinophobia since the start of the coronavirus crisis is a present day reflection of the anti-China xenophobia which has always been deliberately fanned by reactionary forces, starting from the earliest days of European colonisation on the west coast. The Communist Party of Canada calls upon the labour and people’s movements, and all progressive organizations in Canada, to speak out against the latest wave of extremely divisive hatred directed against China and people of Chinese backgrounds.
