Communist
Party of Canada leader Miguel Figueroa today sharply denounced the wave of
police repression which swept over downtown Toronto since last Saturday
afternoon during the G20 Summit, and has called for a comprehensive independent
public inquiry, including a thorough investigation of those politically
responsible for giving a “green light” for the police thuggery and the
unprecedented number of detentions and arrests.

G8/G20: Fight for a Real Alternative to the new Capitalist “Consensus”
On the eve of the G8/G20 meetings, mass labour and democratic mobilizations are building in Southern Ontario and across Canada to protest this wasteful, security‑obsessed extravaganza. The Communist Party of Canada salutes this resistance and takes its rightful place alongside workers, students, women, Aboriginal peoples and social activists in denouncing these summits which aim to hammer out a strategic line among the ruling imperialist states and international finance capital on how best to advance their shared interests, and then present their agenda as a fait accompli to the world’s peoples.
Communist Party of Canadadenounces Israel’s acts of piracy and murder
The Communist Party of

government on May 31 against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters.
This brazen military attack against unarmed civilians on the high seas –
peace activists bringing humanitarian aid to the imprisoned people of Gaza –
has rightly met with a storm of international condemnation.

Sports for the people, not the corporations! No Olympics on stolen

The opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics will take place on Feb. 12 in
Vancouver, seven years after the people of Vancouver were promised an "Olympic
legacy" of athletic facilities, social housing, and an economic boom. Outside
the ceremonies, a "Take Back Our City" festival and parade will remind the
world that these grandiose promises, and indeed the official aims of the
Olympic movement, are in stark contradiction to the grim realities of this
17-day celebration of capitalist greed.

Communist Party Condemns Proroguing of Parliament… Harper out of

Central Executive Committee CPC
January 7, 2010
The decision of Stephen Harper’s minority Tory government to prorogue
Parliament for the second time in twelve months demonstrates profound contempt
and loathing for both Parliament and the millions of Canadians who are
demanding genuine action to end the economic crisis and the occupation of
Afghanistan. Harper is escalating his attack on democracy to a new and

SMELL OF DEFEAT IN AFGHANISTAN
People's Voice Editorial
The smell of defeat is in the air for the disastrous US-led military
occupation of Afghanistan. An unusually blunt report by the top US commander in
Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, says "we run the risk of strategic
defeat by pursuing tactical wins that cause civilian casualties or unnecessary
collateral damage. The insurgents cannot defeat us militarily, be we can defeat
ourselves."...

Pour mettre fin au coup d'État au Honduras le Canada

Déclaration émise par le Parti communiste du

Un mois s'est écoulé depuis le coup
d'État du 28 juin au Honduras, par lequel le président élu, Manuel Zelaya, a
été démis de ses fonctions et exilé, alors que l'un des dirigeants du coup
d'État, Roberto Micheletti, a été mis à sa place soi-disant comme
"président intérimaire". En dépit de cela, des manifestations de
protestation, des grèves générales en cours dans le pays, et de la
condamnation internationale unanime, y compris la suspension du Honduras de
l'Organisation des États américains (OEA), les dirigeants du coup d'État se

Issued by the Communist Party of

One month has passed since the June 28th
coup d’état in Honduras which drove elected President Manuel Zelaya from
office and into exile, installing one of the coup leaders, Roberto Micheletti
as “Interim President” in his place. And yet despite street protests and

Le budget fédéral: un écran de fumée
Commentaire du Comité exécutif central du
Parti communiste du Canada, émis le 27 janvier 2009
Publié dans le journal People’s Voice, numéro du 1er au 14
février 2009 - Vol. 17, No 2
Les positions politiques ont changé depuis
l'automne dernier à Ottawa, mais pas autant que l'ont déclaré la plupart des
analystes qui ont traité du budget fédéral du 27 janvier. Cela n'est pas
surprenant puisque les "consultations sur le budget" du ministre des Finances,
Jim Flaherty, ont été menées presque exclusivement auprès des grandes
entreprises et des «think tanks» (centres de recherche, de stratégie et de
diffusion politique) de droite.

The January 27 Federal Budget:
A "smoke and mirrors sham"
Commentary of the Central Executive Committee,
Communist Party of Canada, January 27, 2009
Published in People’s Voice - Feb. 1-14, 2009 - Vol. 17, #
2
The political mindset has changed in Ottawa
since last fall, but not nearly as much as most analysts of the Jan. 27 federal
budget suggest. This is not surprising, since Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s
“budget consultations” were conducted almost exclusively with big business
and right-wing think tanks.

Lift the blockade – End the Occupation!
No to the Genocidal Policies of Israel!
January 2, 2009
The merciless bombardment of Gaza by the

December 20, 2008
We communist and workers’ parties from around the world

brutal attacks and other crimes, the government of Israel is trying to achieve
what was impossible by imposing the wall, the siege and blockade: to break the
resistance of the Palestinian people.

Voters block Tory majority
October 15
Commentary on the October 14th federal
election issued by the Central Executive Committee, Communist Party of
Canada
The governing
Conservatives under PM Stephen Harper managed to improve their standing in the
new Parliament after the October 14 general election, but fell short of the
majority which they and their corporate masters were so determined to achieve.
This was a victory for the majority of Canadians, who succeeded in preventing
the Harper Tories from having a completely free hand. Despite their claims, the
Tories have no mandate to impose their right wing agenda on the country.

Safeguard Jobs and Incomes for
Canadians in Response to the Deepening Economic Crisis
September 30
The Central Executive of the Communist
Party of Canada released the following statement this morning in response to
the deepening economic crisis:
Stephen Harper’s claim
that the Canadian economy is on “a solid footing” looks utterly foolish
after the staggering fall in stock prices on Monday, Sept. 29. In reality,
Canada is on the brink of a “Dirty Thirties” depression, thanks largely to
the neo-conservative policies pushed by Harper, Bush, and other advocates of
‘unfettered capitalism.’

U.S./NATO aggression in the Caucasus
August 14
The outbreak of a deadly armed conflict in

Imperialism’s preparations and aggressions in Georgia are sparks that can
eventually ignite a much larger conflagration, demanding the sharpest
condemnation of the international labour movement and all peace and
anti-imperialist forces.
