Alors que nous anticipons une année de luttes accrues et de militantisme syndical renforcé, le Parti communiste du Canada exprime sa ferme opposition au projet de loi libéral C-9 (dite « La visant à lutter contre la haine ») et à toute législation anti-manifestation de ce type, tant dans son esprit que dans sa lettre….
As we anticipate a year of heightened struggle and increased labour militancy, the Communist Party of Canada voices its strong opposition to the Liberal Bill C-9 (the so-called “Combatting Hate Act”) and all such anti-protest legislation, in both spirit and letter.
