« WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD » - Louis Armstrong
Just something… with lasting peace and prosperity for all
MONTRÉAL – As John Lennon sang in « Imagine », we
are millions in the world dreaming for a better place to enjoy our
lifetime. Frank Sinatra gave us « New
York, New York » and now we made it there, while electing the Socialist Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez in one of this city’s constituency.
« Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scorched Republicans
(ref. Donald Trump fierce supporters) … for having the gall to accuse a Muslim
congresswoman of a trivializing terrorism while they’re at the same time
refusing to support reparation payments for survivors of the 9/11 attacks on
the United States. »
But « if the Democratic (AOC’s political party) race
boils down to Biden and Sanders, you’ll have two candidates in their late 70s
who voted three times to overthrow Saddam (former President of Iraq), approved
the murderous sanctions on Iraq, supported the illegal war on Serbia, backed
the racist and punitive Clinton Crime Bill and fronted a scheme to dump
radioactive waste from New England near a small Hispanic town in West Texas. »
As for wars, USA can still reckon on UK. For instance. « AKEL (communist party)
denounces the planned deployment of F-35B fighter jets in Cyprus. [and says]
The Cypriot people can’t feel any security with the announcement by the British
Defense Minister concerning the deployment of 17 state-of-the-art F-35B fighter
jets in the British base of Akrotiri this autumn. The aim, as the British Defence Minister
stated, is for military staff to gain the necessary experience in maintening
and flying the F-35B jets in an unfamiliar environment and for them to become
fully operational in order to protect British interests (sic!) and those of its
ailies anywhere in the world. »
In Canada and some European countries, the bourgeoisie is
looking for scapegoats to make workers distracted from the real roots of
economical ebbs and flows in our society, the capitalist system as such;
especially expecting the results of the coming elections :
« Canadian Global Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland
said… it was likely that foreign actors would meddle in the country’s October
(2019) elections, and her British counterpart said a deterrent to stop
countries like Russia from interfering was critical.
U.S. intelligence official and the governments of some
European countries have accused Russia of interfering in their elections in
recent years, allegations denied by Moscow.
When asked whether she was worried Russia would interfere in
the election, Freeland said she was ‘very concerned.’ »
Nevertheless, Canadian workers are not left in the shadows. For
example, [Naomi] Rankin (one of the Communist Party of Canada leader, who
runned recently as a candidate in Canada’s western Province of Alberta), joined
the party in 1981 after learning Marxist ideals at the dinner table from her
parents, who were also members. Her
belief that capitalism fosters inequality and suffering as the rich get richer off
the backs of workers, and her desire for a united, militant working class to
smash that paradigm, have never wavered.
Rankin says the party is the strongest it has ever been during her
nearly four-decade tenure… »
Canada being also a land of immigration, changes must apply for
new comers. « First, Canada’s
immigation system should be reframed to prioritize permanant over temporary
migration. Working-class workers should
be able to immigrate to Canada with their families with permanent status on
arrival so they can continue to contribute to our communities but do so with
the security they currently lack.
Second, tied work permits must be eliminated. The United Nations has expressly recognized
that ‘tying workers to specific employers encourages labour exploitation.’ To the extent workers come to Canada with
temporary status, they must have open work permits.
Third, rigorous and consistent regulation and licensing of
recruiters and their supply chains is required in all provinces. Currently, recruiters exploit the patchwork
of provincial laws, bringing workers into provinces with weak regulation and
transporting them across provincial borders.
Fourth, employers that hire migrant workers and postsecondary
institutions that recruit international students must be held jointly liable
with recruiters for all violations of those workers’ and students’ rights to
the recruitment process. »
