The YCL-LJC condemns the Canadian States bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council. As a Pan-Canadian and working class internationalist organisation we will always remain committed to building the movement for peace and solidarity. Since our 27th Central Convention unmasking the Canadian States growing role in NATO Imperialism and helping build Solidarity movements have been prioritized.
La YCL-LJC salue la mémoire d’un camarade, mentor et ami de la YCL-LJC: Pierre Fontaine. Chef du Parti communiste du Québec depuis 15 ans, puis membre du Comité exécutif central du Parti communiste du Canada, Pierre est décédé le 27 mai dernier des suites d’une crise cardiaque.

The YCL-LJC expresses full and unwavering support for those fighting for justice for George Floyd, Regis Korchinsky-Paquet, and all others murdered by police in white-supremacist violence. Alongside their communities, we mourn the lives of George Floyd, a black man murdered by police in Minneapolis and Regis Korchinsky-Paquet, an Afro-Indigenous woman murdered by police in Toronto. Solidarity actions continue to take place across North America, with thousands taking to the streets to demand justice. The corporate media continues to call it looting, violence and disorder, however those who fight on the side of justice call it an uprising, a rebellion, and class-struggle.
La YCL-LJC rejette les limites prohibitives de la Prestation canadienne d’urgence pour les étudiant-es (PCUE) et exprime la nécessité urgente qu’y soient inclus tous les étudiant-es sans les confiner à la pauvreté. Alors qu’ils ont enfin accès à un plan d’urgence, la PCUE ne répond pas aux problèmes fondamentaux liés à la condition d’étudiant-e. Nous rejetons également la nécessité de prouver être à la recherche d’un emploi d’été (souvent rémunéré au lance-pierres et sans doute dans des conditions sanitaires précaires) pour y avoir accès tout en devant également se consacrer aux études.
The YCL-LJC rejects the narrow limitations for the CESB (Canadian Emergency Student Benefit) and expresses the urgent necessity to include all students without confining them to poverty. While students can finally access their own emergency plan the CESB does not address the fundamental problems with the condition of students. We also reject the need to provide documentation to be constantly looking for work that pays poverty wages in unsafe conditions to receive such benefit while still trying to balance commitments to studies.
