The Communist Party of Canada issues this urgent warning against the Liberal government’s introduction of Bill C-2, deceitfully named the “Strong Borders Act.” This legislation escalates state surveillance, entrenches xenophobic scapegoating, and deepens Canada’s subordination to the United States government, continuing the authoritarian legacy of Harper’s Bill C-51. Far from protecting Canadians, Bill C-2 criminalizes…
The Communist Party of Canada condemns the continuation of the Foreign Interference Inquiry this fall. The Inquiry, initiated by a CSIS propaganda campaign, constitutes neo-McCarthyism which threatens democracy and the rights of immigrants while preparing the public for war. The government’s actions coming out of the first round of the inquiry in the spring were…
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada demands an immediate end to the so-called “Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference”.

Le 18 septembre, des manifestations à travers le Canada demanderont au gouvernement Trudeau d’inclure tous les sans-papiers…
The Communist Party of Canada joins the call on the federal government to immediately extend permanent resident status to all non-status and temporary status workers in Canada. On September 18th, demonstrations across Canada will call on the Trudeau government to include all undocumented migrants in their previously announced, although undefined, immigration regularization program. Only through providing status to all can basic workers’ rights truly apply to all workers, raising the floor on wages and living and working conditions for all.
