END CANADA’S CONSENT TO GENOCIDE: STOP ISRAELI ATTACKS AND FORCED DISPLACEMENT OF PALESTINIANS IN EAST JERUSALEM

Posted on May 12, 2021

May 122021

The Communist Party of Canada denounces the Israeli government for its barbaric attacks on the Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in occupied East Jerusalem, its forced eviction of Palestinians from their homes, which are then occupied by Israeli settlers, and its vicious and racist attacks on peaceful worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is ethnic cleansing, and a crime against humanity under the UN Charter.

While Israeli courts have attempted to legitimize the forced displacement of Palestinian families with their apartheid laws, Israeli police, military and settlers have terrorized Palestinian residents in an effort to drive them out of their homes. Over 100 Palestinians have been attacked, with scores injured and killed – including children, by Israeli police and settlers inciting racist violence, including mobs chanting “Death to Arabs”.

Colombie : les communistes disent « Halte au massacre! Halte à la complicité du Canada! »

Le Parti communiste du Canada salue la détermination et le courage des Colombien-nes en lutte depuis le 28 avril dernier contre le gouvernement d’Ivan Duque et ses politiques réactionnaires et néolibérales dictées par l’impérialisme états-unien et ses alliés. Tout particulièrement, nous saluons le Parti communiste colombien (PaCoCol) et son organisation de jeunesse (JuCo), impliqués depuis des décennies dans les mouvements sociaux et dans la lutte pour une Colombie libre, souveraine et socialiste. Nous dénonçons également la répression et les violences systématiques de la part du gouvernement colombien qui ont fait, selon les données les plus récentes, 1708 victimes de violences policières, 37 morts et qui se sont soldées par 831 détentions arbitraires.

Nous saluons également la victoire du mouvement de grève nationale qui a forcé le gouvernement à retirer une réforme fiscale régressive qui tentait de faire payer les travailleur-euses, les petits paysans et les masses populaires pour le déficit public. En effet, cette réforme prévoyait, entre autres, taxer les retraites, les services publics, les intrants agricoles, geler les salaires de la fonction publique jusqu’en 2026, et ce, sans toucher aux grandes entreprises.

Colombia: Los comunistas exigen “¡Alto a la masacre! ¡Canada debe detener su complicidad!”

El Partido Comunista de Canadá apoya al pueblo Colombiano que lucha desde el 28 de abril contra el gobierno de Iván Duque y sus políticas reaccionarias y neoliberales, muchas de las cuales son dictadas por el imperialismo estadounidense. En particular, expresamos nuestra solidaridad con el Partido Comunista de Colombia (PaCoCol) y su organización juvenil (JuCo), quienes han estado involucrados durante décadas en movimientos sociales y en la lucha por una Colombia libre, soberana y socialista. También denunciamos la represión y violencia sistemática por parte del gobierno colombiano que ha dejado como resultado 1708 víctimas de brutalidad policial, 37 muertes y 831 detenciones arbitrarias, según los datos más recientes.

También expresamos nuestra solidaridad con el movimiento de huelga nacional, que ha obligado al gobierno a retirar las medidas regresivas de reforma tributaria que pretendían hacer que los trabajadores, los pequeños campesinos y las masas populares pagaran el déficit público. Estas reformas preveían, entre otras cosas, gravar las pensiones, los servicios públicos, los insumos agrícolas y congelar los salarios de los funcionarios hasta 2026, sin aumentar los impuestos a las grandes empresas.

Colombia: Communists demand “Stop the massacre! Stop Canada’s complicity!”

The Communist Party of Canada supports the people of Colombia who have been fighting since April 28 against the government of Ivan Duque and its reactionary and neoliberal policies, many of which are dictated by US imperialism. In particular, we express our solidarity with the Colombian Communist Party (PaCoCol) and its youth organization (JuCo), which have been involved for decades in social movements and in the struggle for a free, sovereign and socialist Colombia. We also denounce the repression and systematic violence on the part of the Colombian government which has resulted in 1708 victims of police brutality, 37 deaths and 831 arbitrary arrests, according to the most recent data.

We also express our solidarity with the national strike movement, which has forced the government to withdraw regressive tax reform measures which attempted to make workers, small peasants and the popular masses pay for the public deficit. These reforms planned, among other things, to tax pensions, public services, agricultural inputs, and to freeze civil service salaries until 2026, without raising taxes on large businesses.

Solidarité avec les débardeurs du Port de Montréal

Le Parti communiste du Canada dénonce fermement la loi spéciale C-29 adoptée par la Chambre des Communes et le Sénat le vendredi 30 avril dernier. Elle force le retour au travail des 1151 débardeurs du Port de Montréal qui s’étaient mis en grève le 26 avril dernier.

Les débardeurs du Port de Montréal sont sans contrat de travail depuis 2018. La point de litige principal dans les négociations a à voir avec la conciliation travail – vie personnelle ainsi qu’avec le droit à la déconnexion. En effet, on leur demande présentement de téléphoner entre 18h et minuit pour connaitre leur affectation du lendemain. La mauvaise foi patronale les a forcés à faire grève durant dix jours en aout dernier, ce qui a abouti à une trêve de sept mois au terme de laquelle les travailleur-euses ont rejeté à 99,7% l’offre patronale.

Solidarity with the Port of Montreal Dock Workers

The Communist Party of Canada strongly denounces bill C-29 adopted by the House of Commons and the Senate on Friday April 30. It forces 1151 dock workers back to work at the Port of Montreal who were on strike since April 26.

The Port of Montreal dock workers have been without a collective agreement since 2018. The main point of contention in the negotiations has to do with work-life balance and the right to disconnect from work. In fact, they are currently asked to call the employer between 6 p.m. and midnight to find out their assignment for the next day. The employer’s bad faith forced them to strike for ten days last August, which resulted in a seven-month truce at the end of which the workers rejected the employers’ offer by 99.7%.

1er mai 2021 : unissons-nous dans la lutte pour une issue populaire à la crise capitaliste

Comité exécutif central, Parti communiste du Canada

Le 1er mai 2021 est marqué par une année d’attaques sans précédent contre la santé et le bien-être des travailleur-euses à travers le monde, d’abord par la pandémie de COVID19, par la cupidité des trusts pharmaceutiques et autres grandes entreprises qui ont vu dans cette pandémie une opportunité de générer encore plus de profits. Ils l’ont ensuite été par la crise économique capitaliste globale qui a vu des milliards de personnes perdre leur emploi à travers le monde, dépossédant les travailleur-euses de leurs économies, de leurs maisons, de leur santé et de leur avenir tandis que la richesse et les profits mondiaux se sont concentrés dans les mains des plus grands monopoles et des super-riches.

May Day 2021: Unite and fight for a People’s Recovery from capitalist crisis

May Day 2021 marks a year of unprecedented attacks on the health and well-being of working people around the world, first by the coronavirus pandemic and the greedy pharmaceutical companies, and other corporations who saw the health crisis as an opportunity to make enormous profits. And then by the global capitalist economic crisis that threw billions of people out of work around the world, stripping working people of their savings, their homes, their health and their futures, while the world’s wealth and profits became ever more centralized and concentrated into the hands of the biggest corporations and the super-rich.

According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), Canada’s billionaires have increased their wealth by $78 billion since March 2020. “Canada’s top 47 billionaires now control $270 billion in total wealth… while Canada’s richest 87 families each hold, on average, 4,448 times more wealth than the typical family. Together these 87 families own more wealth than the bottom 12 million Canadians combined.” During the same time, 5.5 million Canadian workers lost their jobs or had more than half their hours cut during the pandemic, while 7 million applied for CERB benefits in April-May 2020.

Central Executive Committee, Communist Party of Canada, April 23, 2021

The Communist Party of Canada speaks out strongly against the growth of anti-Asian racism, including the escalation of hate crime attacks against people from the Chinese-Canadian community. We extend our full solidarity to all those who face the worsening impact of racism during the health crisis over the last year, and we condemn attempts to take advantage of this tragic situation to inflame anti-communist and anti-China sentiments.

Federal Budget Delivers A Profitable Recovery for Corporations and the Wealthy
Funds for NATO, NORAD, Armaments and War
Paid for by the Working Class, the Unemployed, Women and Youth

Far from transformative, Monday’s federal budget was yet another long list of big gifts to Big Business in Canada, along with vast sums for NATO, NORAD, fighter jets and warships, ensuring that the working class will pay for a profitable recovery for corporations and the wealthy, and Parliament’s new foreign policy of war and regime change.
