Activist Communique: May Day rolls into Toronto again for Sanctuary City
Posted April 24, 2013 by Krystalline Kraus
That’s right! Spring has sprung and it’s time to get ready for the annual May Day celebration.
I remember last May Day, I was covering the demonstration and the Occupy Toronto 24 hour occupation of Simcoe Park in downtown Toronto.
Last year, May Day was linked to the Occupy movement – Occupy Canada officially launched across Canada on October 15, 2011, with 34 cities declaring their participation one month after the Occupy Wall Street movement took off in the U.S.
A little background on Occupy: The Occupation on Wall Street began on September 17, 2011 which was Constitution Day in the United States.

Ça bouge! Quebec coalition makes progress on reforms
Posted April 11, 2013 by MiningWatch
MiningWatch Canada is a founding member and supporter of the Coalition Québec meilleure mine (translated as the Better Mining Coalition with a clever pun — “mine’ also means face or apperance in French).
For over five years now the Coalition has been pushing an agenda of mining reforms in Quebec. Thanks to their hard work raising issues, building grassroots political support and putting forward coherent policy proposals things are shifting dramatically in Quebec putting industry on the defensive. Unfortunately, as with many things, there has been little news of these developments in the media outside of Quebec.

Unequal justice in Canada: Law and order for the poor, impunity for the rich
Posted March 14, 2013 by rabble staff
Thursday, March 14, 2013
White-collar crime is generally treated less severely than other forms of illegal activity, which is another way of saying there are different rules for ‘important people’ than the rest of us.
One law for the rulers and another for the rest of us — wasn’t that supposed to have ended with feudalism?
If a poor person is caught taking a computer or some other piece of property from a federal building you can bet police will be called and the thief will go before a judge to decide if she/he goes to jail. Yet when a Senator who is paid at least $132,000 per year in salary illegally claims many times the value of a stolen computer as a “living expense” they simply have to return the money.
