For a People’s Recovery, NOT A Corporate Plunder!

Central Executive Committee, March 2020

We salute the immense efforts of healthcare workers to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and provide their essential services in a state of emergency. For over 30 years public sector unions and community organisations have struggled against privatisation, job loss, and closures in the healthcare sector. Our public healthcare system was overwhelmed before the outbreak of the global pandemic. Decades of cuts and austerity will leave working people, Indigenous peoples, the unemployed, the elderly, and the poor severely exposed unless emergency action is taken.

Chile: neither batons nor bullets will stop the anger of the masses

YCL-LJC Canada expresses its full solidarity with the Chilean people and youth who have been resisting the Piñera government for weeks. We stand in solidarity with the millions of peaceful demonstrators initially mobilized against a 30 pesos increase in public transport fees and call for active solidarity with their struggles. We also call on our comrades, friends and allies, the student movement, the trade unions and the progressive and democratic forces to show their solidarity with the people of Chile. Their struggle is ours, because their enemy is the same as ours: capitalism.

The YCL-LJC and the Federal Elections 2019

Now that the Federal Election campaign is over, the YCL-LJC wishes to salute the work of the 30 candidates – with a notable amount of young people – who, throughout the country, held in difficult conditions the revolutionary flag of the Communist Party of Canada. We also salute the contribution of the YCL-LJC as a whole as a key element in the different CPC campaigns, helping providing better visibility within the youth and students.
