  • Liberals, Immigration and the Lies They Tell the Working Class
    Oct 29 2024

    Trudeau's Liberals Backtrack on Promises to Migrants, Scapegoating Them Instead of Legislating Status for All.

    Hosts Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou Quintero unpack some of the worst narratives around immigration in Canada right now. With the Liberals introducing policy that goes along with the Conservative talking points, there is a real danger of the working class losing ground to racism and xenophobia. Both tools of Capital.

    Hear about the work being done on the ground to combat this, and what you can do to join those efforts.

    Calls to Action:

    • Boost the STATUS FOR ALL Campaign by the Migrant Rights Network
    • (ONTARIO) Support the Najawan Support Network, or visit their encampment in Brampton.
