After the 27th Central Convention of the YCL-LJC, now is the time to organize!
Central Executive Committee, YCL-LJC
May, 2017
Last week, the Young Communist League of Canada held its 27th Central Convention, the largest of the four conventions since its re-founding in 2007. From May 19 to 22, thirty-five delegates, plus alternates and observers attended from Montréal, Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria to reiterate our commitment to working class struggle and move forward with our strategies to build socialism in Canada. We dedicated these three days to exchange, discuss, debate and learn from the struggles carried out by young communists throughout the country.
On the death of Fidel Castro: ¡Fidel vive, la lucha sigue!
International Commission, YCL-LJC
Dec, 2016
Between Friday night and Saturday morning of last week, it was with great sadness that we learned the death of the main architect of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, at the particularly noble age of 90. This is particularly remarkable given the 638 listed assassination attempts which imperialism financed and attempted to set in motion.
Dump the Trump ultra-right agenda!
Central Executive Committee, YCL-LJC
Nov, 2016
The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States is a serious danger to working people in that country and around the world, including Canada. This election has resulted in a shift to the far-right in the White House, as well as both houses of government, and will likely be reflected in the judiciary. There is an immediate need to organize and unite against this dangerous new reality.

Caracas, June, 2016

End the Canadian Military Mission
Central Executive Committee, YCL-LJC
March, 2016
The rhetoric surrounding Canada’s military mission in the Middle East is polarized along party lines – yet regardless of whether it’s the Liberals or the Conservatives, there is a shared desire to escalate Canada’s imperialist aggression. Started under Harper’s Conservatives and continued by the Trudeau Liberals, Canada’s presence in the Middle East is increasing, and intensifying the conflict. The impact on the local population is devastating – causing refugees to flee conflict areas. The Trudeau Liberals find it appropriate to pat themselves on the back in accepting a meagre amount of refugees to mitigate the effects of the humanitarian disaster they had a direct hand in creating.

Dear Comrades,
We want to express our full solidarity with all the young communists of Chile (organized in the JJCC) and all youth and student activists who are mourning Exequiel Borbarán and Diego Guzmán Farras. These two students (the latter being a member of JJCC) were shot and murdered while taking part in a student mobilization in Valparaíso.
