Mam Is vulnerable open work permit extend or get PR please suggest us .
RIP to Chénier but what is this non-sense? What a terrible party line. No social investigation or analysis of class composition whatsoever. Québec is a settler-colonial state as is Canada, and neither has the right to self-determination on stolen, unceded Indigenous land. Québec is no longer subject to any national oppression which prevents or stunts its development. It boasts a powerful domestic bourgeoisie which is firmly integrated into world capitalism as an imperialist oppressor, it has several racialized internal colonies including Métis, Haitians and black Francophone migrants/refugees from colonized African countries, which its capitalists exploit as a source of cheap labor. All political rights given within any bourgeois democracy are fully granted to Québec. It exercises self-determination to the fullest extent in bourgeois democracy short of secession, and its language rights are fully respected to the point that French is the sole official language of both government and business. Quebec's standard of living is comparable to the rest of Canada, which boasts one of the highest living standards globally (compare prior to 1970s...) and is higher than the Maritimes. Social spending is high, which indicates a high level of economic development. Last but not least, Québec continues to receive the largest equalization transfer payments despite being the second-wealthiest province. Calling to abolish Canada's "monarchy" in 2023 isn't radical, let alone a socialist demand. The "monarchy" that settler-colonial Canada has isn't comparable to the power English kings had, let alone French kings. It's called a constitutional monarchy for a reason, in that its actionable powers are severely limited by the constitution. The Governor is a rubber-stamp on the political power which is vested in Parliament. This is basic civics. There's no danger of a constitutional crisis arising from the Governor refusing to sign a bill, or a province somehow bypassing the Governor in its passing of a bill - that was all settled after the King-Byng crisis. Quebec continually invokes the notwithstanding clause to uphold its lopsided emphasis on the French language. The fact it's not a signatory to the Constitution is irrelevant since its political rights are exercised regardless, and further it added two symbolic articles to the 1982 Constitution just last year, thru invoking Article 45 of the Constitution. So it hasn't "signed on", but its bourgeoisie is willing to pay lip service to further its own political aspirations (which aren't pro-worker). There can be no Québec "patriots" nor Canadian "patriots" from a deeply reactionary state founded on the dispossession, ethnic cleaning and genocide of Indigenous peoples, which the Québec settler-colonial state is very much a part of no matter how much your Party invokes the 1763 British royal proclamation or the 1837-38 Upper Canada rebellion. To insist otherwise is idealism, chauvinism, ignorance. There's nothing progressive about either of these nationalisms. In the case of settler-colonial states as Canada, Québec, South Africa, Australia and "Israel", there can only be internationalists from its working class. There's no room for bourgeois nationalism such as Zionism and Québécois nationalism, which simply invites right-opportunism and class collaboration. Québec & Anglo-Canadian nationalism are therefore anti-working class, and the former is just white nationalism in Francophone garb. The primary contradiction which forms the backbone of capitalist relations in Canada, US, and European core countries like France and the UK is colonialism, and settler-colonialism. It's not the task of communists in settler-colonial states to presuppose the continued existence of a colonial state under socialism, whilst ignoring actual self-determination for colonized peoples. The task, from the Leninist position (State and Revolution) is to dismantle the colonial state root and branch. The CPC-ML presupposes that FNMI people will still live in Canada, and be governed by a colonial state; the Leninist position is for the destruction of the colonial state and the dismantling of Canada. Socialism in Canada will mean the destruction of the Canadian and Québecois state. If you want to argue that Lenin's position is "ultra-leftist", that's your business, but don't try and pass off revisionism as Leninism. To give an example of what dismantling the colonial state could look like: the Soviets worked to suppress Great Russian chauvinism and promoted a Soviet national character, which was internationalist in principle, and promoted minority nationalisms, so long as it furthered the cause of socialist development. Russian chauvinists, once outed, were trialed and executed.
So Stone Canyon is a bag of shit…. Got it
I was Master Electrician at the Windsor Salt Lindbergh Works from 1998 to 2008. I was violently attacked at the plant and stabbed with a screwdriver. My data is at the ColdLake Indian Friendship Centre and links Windsor to the childtrafficking network of the Calgary Stampede and Charlie Hart in Stockton California.
Well said!
The big Corporations and the politicians are in this all together. They call it sustainability it was 20 by 20 now it is 20 by 30 . The workers have been bamboozled that’s the facts.
Hi, can you explain the 20 by 20 vs. 20 by 30? Thank you!
@@empoweryourselfnow9406 I work for the same company here in the U S.Years ago they started all these programs top of the pyramid no lost time then it was to meet the goal of making a profit which was by 20 by 20 That being the year 2020 it didn’t take them long to reach that goal. Now it is 20 by 30 phase out employees so see what they are up to and it is not just one certain company they are all in it to gather wide spread Global B. S. every body equality poor. That’s my take just set and listen close you can hear what is being said fill people with a bunch of hyper talk keep them excited.
I am from Vancouver and i supports the Nurses Rallies in Windsor and the rest of Ontario. The Nurses need better wages and improved working conditions. I hope the Nurses in Ontario get lots of support. Nurses here in Vancouver also need to have rallies for the same reasons.

Great interview brother 💪
Heinz still calls the shots. Only a fool would believe otherwise. Deplete the inventory, and stay strong. You will be working lots of overtime to make up for the depleted inventory after you have your contract and your signing bonus.
Great place to work!
Good job !!!
All power to working people!!
How anyone can support communism is beyond me, its authoritarian and anti freedom, liberty, private property, etc. Its more government control over all aspects of your life and economy. Government is never the solution, they are an unproductive entity and do not create wealth, they only destroy it. Trying to elect "Marxist-Leninism" is very scary and will lead to human suffering. If you want to increase the quality of life of Canadians you need to neuter the powers of government, especially the central bank which is used to defraud Canadians through inflation to finance government deficits and allow bad government behavior and to manipulate and artificially suppress interest rates to encourage rabid speculation and investment in assets held by the rich such as real estate and stocks which leads to a further gap between the rich and the poor. More government is never the solution.
