Busy weekend (2/2) : "All-Night Camp for Status" from https://www.solidarityacrossborders.org/en/18-march-all-night-camp-for-status
Saturday, 18 March at 7:30 pm to Sunday, 19 March at 9am
Complexe Guy-Favreau, 200 RenĂ©-LĂ©vesque Blvd West (Place-dâArmes Metro)
"We are not a crisis, we are in crisis!
Camp in front of the Refugee Board to demand a fully inclusive regularization programme, with no one left behind, NOW! Together for Status for All!
This is part of a panCanadian day of action for a fully inclusive, comprehensive regularization programme and for permanent residence for all migrants, organized by Migrant Rights Network.
For weeks now, the media has not stopped talking about Roxham Road in a distorted way providing fertile ground for racist and xenophobic discourses blaming migrants for all social problems. In this way, anti-migrant groups and politicians are pushing back against efforts to win a regularization programme for undocumented migrants and permanent residence for all migrants. This is how the wealthy are attempting to distract attention from questions of justice and equality, making migrants into scapegoats, and creating divisions among those excluded from wealth and privilege.
While those who profit from these populist discourses stay warm in their big houses, undocumented migrants are left in the dark and cold of an exclusion that kills without mercy: on the borders, on the streets, slowly over years of exploitation and hard physical work, through lack of healthcare, and in the constant stress of precarity, family separation and fear of being arrested, detained and deported.
We donât leave our countries for the pleasure of migrating to Canada. We come to Canada seeking refuge from diverse problems. We also donât become undocumented for the fun of it. The unjust immigration system makes us vulnerable.
We demand a regularisation programme without exception or exclusion. We have waited for a regularisation programme for more than 14 months, when Trudeau mandated the federal Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser, to regularize undocumented migrants. We also demand permanent residence for all migrants.
We make these demands in solidarity with unhoused communities, with all who face racially profiling, with exploited workers from all backgrounds, with indigenous people whose lands have been stolen ⊠and AGAINST the people who seek to divide, exploit and use us for their own political and financial ends.
Wake up and act fast! Now is the time to make this programme concrete and ensure permanent residence for all!"

« la Loi sur la responsabilitĂ© des entreprises de protĂ©ger les droits de la personne, imposerait une large gamme dâobligations en matiĂšre de droits de la personne aux entreprises canadiennes, qui seraient tenues de prĂ©venir les dommages sociaux et environnementaux causĂ©s Ă lâĂ©tranger par leurs activitĂ©s et leurs relations commerciales, dâen tenir compte et dây remĂ©dier. »

Some lovely #music from #Paraguay. Did you know #polka was a huge thing there since the mid-19th century?
But, of course, it's not Polka, it's #Polca Paraguayana, and of which they have several versions, like Syryry (sweeping), valseda (waltz-like), and more upbeat versions like Yeroky or Hyr'y (relating to spring). Yes, it's a complex cultural exchange of ideas blending European, Latin American and indigenous elements, while really ending up as a unique #musical expression of Paraguay. Nothing more, nothing less.
It took me a bit to work out the rhythmic switcches in terms of binary or ternary, so let me know if you can figure those out, OK? đ

Wildcat striiiiiiiiiiike! The ontario government uses the "notwithstanding" clause to break the charter of rights and force striking workers back to work, like the CAQ did in quebec with Bill 21 and Bill 96. Except the workers won't take it anymore: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-education-workers-announce-mass-walkout-amid-back-to-work-legislation-1.6131853 Maybe punching holes in the charter of rights is a bad idea after all? Maybe, i dunno, we gotta fight for our rights, like, at some point, maybe? #polqc #polca #AnInjuryToOneIsAnInjuryToAll

Surpise, surprise, la nouvelle prison pour personnes migrantes Ă Laval est pire que la prĂ©cĂ©dente : https://pivot.quebec/2022/10/28/nouvelle-prison-pour-migrants-a-laval-pire-que-la-precedente/ L'Ătat semble vouloir s'en servir pour faire une surveillance accrue des familles (incluant enfants) emprisonnĂ©s, ainsi que de leurs proches qui viennent les voir. #polqc #polca #RefugeesWelcome #NoBorders #FuckCBSA

"Il faut rappeler que chaque annĂ©e, plus de migrants entrent au Canada avec des permis temporaires quâavec des permis permanents. RĂ©sultat : lorsque leur permis est expirĂ©, ils deviennent, en raison des problĂšmes structurels du systĂšme dâimmigration, des sans-papiers. [...] Il est simplement logique que des milliers de gens qui vivent ici et contribuent dĂ©jĂ Ă la sociĂ©tĂ© sortent des limbes de cette vie parallĂšle." https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/chroniques/2022-10-15/ce-n-est-pas-une-vie.php #StatusForAll #StatutPourToutes #polqc #polca #FuckLaCAQ
