Au nom de la liberté, de la paix et de la vérité — contre le fascisme et la guerre

La victoire sur le nazi-fascisme dans la Seconde Guerre Mondiale est un événement majeur de l’Histoire, dont la mémoire doit être préservée et défendue contre les tentatives répétées de falsification historique visant à faire oublier le rôle décisif qu’y ont joué l’Union des Républiques Socialistes Soviétiques, les communistes et les antifascistes du monde entier.

In the name of freedom, peace and truth — Against fascism and war

The victory over Nazi-fascism in the Second World War is a major event in History, the memory of which must be preserved and defended in the face of repeated attempts at historical falsification aimed at making us forget the decisive role played by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, by the communists and by anti-fascists from around the world.

End the Sanctions! End US Aggression Against Cuba Now

May 8, 2020 by admin

Canada’s quiet complicity in the US government’s latest attempt to strangle Cuba with sanctions and invocation of Title 3, the extra-territorial section of the Helms-Burton Act, makes Canada an active participant in the US drive to overthrow the government of Cuba.

The US fixation on Cuba is well-known around the world, and in particular the aggressive stance of the current US President; but Canada’s aggressive new role is not understood, nor supported by a majority of Canadians.

1er mai: Lutte de masse pour une reprise populaire!

May 4, 2020 by admin

En ce 1er mai, les travailleuses et les travailleurs du monde entier luttent contre une double menace. La plus grande crise économique depuis les années 30 qui va occasionner des licenciements massifs, des pertes de revenus et d’épargne, avec des vagues d’évictions, de saisies, et de faillites de petites entreprises et d’exploitations agricoles, le tout provoqué par une pandémie mondiale du virus COVID-19, pour lequel il n’existe pas encore de vaccin, et une très grande insuffisance de matériel, de fournitures médicales, de personnel et d’hôpitaux pour éviter la maladie et la mort. La pandémie a aggravé la menace de changement climatique incontrôlé, la croissance des inégalités à travers le monde et la menace de guerres impérialistes.

May Day 2020: Mass struggle for a People’s Recovery

April 30, 2020 by admin

This May Day workers around the world are struggling against a double threat. The deepest economic crisis since the “Dirty ’30s” is causing huge lay-offs, lost incomes and savings, and waves of evictions, foreclosures, and bankruptcies for small businesses and farms, triggered by a global pandemic Covid-19 virus for which there is as yet no vaccine, and a vast under-supply of medical equipment, supplies, staff, and hospitals to stave off sickness and death. The pandemic has compounded the growing menace of unchecked climate change, global inequality, and imperialist wars.

Corporations are using the crisis to jack up prices and profits on scarce medical equipment and supplies, while also re-organizing production to make permanent reductions in the labour force when the pandemic has passed.

Communist Party Condemns Conservatives’ Racist Attacks on Dr. Theresa Tam

April 27, 2020 by admin

The scurrilous and racist attack by Conservative MP Derek Sloan, who suggested in a video on Tuesday that Dr. Theresa Tam “work(s) for China” and should be fired from her job as Canada’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, is hate speech that should be followed up with charges under Canada’s hate speech laws.
