The Harper government has recently announced changes to its Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) after being criticized by the opposition parties for allowing foreign workers to work jobs Canadians could technically have. |
The Transitional Year Programme (TYP) is unique at the University of Toronto. In an era of massive class sizes, and a decline in the quality of education, TYP stands out as a program where students receive one-on-one support from faculty. The students at TYP are not the usual university students. TYP students come from all walks of life, are often racialized and economically disadvantaged and experience a degree of systemic oppression which would ordinarily prevent them from attending such a prestigious post-secondary institution. They all have one thing in common: they see TYP as more than just an academic program. To them, it is their home. |

Comrades in Toronto marked May 1st with an evening rally which began at Moss Park —one of the most impoverished sections of the city’s downtown area— and proceeded to march eastward over the Don Valley Parkway where they proudly displayed a banner from the bridge atop the major commuter artery. From there they continued through Chinatown East shouting chants for the defeat of the bourgeoisie and singing The Internationale until reaching their destination in Little India, where their tone changed, taking aim at India’s vicious “Operation Green Hunt” —a war against the people of India— and calling for victory to the ‘Naxalite’ fighters of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). |

Every activist in Montréal was aware that this year, the Police Department (SPVM) would do everything it could to prevent the holding of the annual May First demonstration organized by the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC). But the determination of the demonstrators succeeded to beat back the watchdogs of the bourgeois order who charged protesters at the beginning of the demo. |
MAY FIRST 2013
On this International Workers Day marked by austerity, budget cuts, increased repression and, fortunately, a bold expression of anti-capitalism, about 500 people took to the streets in the neighbourhoods of Saint-Roch and Saint-Sauveur, mainly protesting the recent changes to the Employment Insurance regime. |
MAY FIRST 2013

INTERNATIONAL STATEMENT
The past two weeks have been very eventful for the people and government of Syria, with Israeli bombing campaigns and allegations of chemical weapons use making the ongoing civil crisis even more acute. |
