Le Parti communiste du Canada se joint à l’appel lancé au gouvernement fédéral pour qu’il accorde immédiatement le statut de résident permanent à tous les travailleurs-euses sans statut et à ceux qui ont un statut temporaire au Canada. Le 18 septembre, des manifestations à travers le Canada demanderont au gouvernement Trudeau d’inclure tous les sans-papiers dans son programme de régularisation de l’immigration annoncé précédemment, bien que non défini. Ce n’est qu’en accordant un statut à tous que les droits fondamentaux des travailleurs-euses pourront réellement s’appliquer à tous les travailleurs-euses, en relevant le plancher des salaires et des conditions de vie et de travail pour tous.

The Communist Party of Canada unequivocally condemns the Zionist aggression against the people of Gaza. A three day Israeli bombing campaign on Gaza has left at least 49 Palestinians dead, including 17 children. Israel alleges their criminal attack was ‘pre-emptive’, a claim that has nothing to do with reality.
