Falling for anti-migrant racism doesn't protect workers, it entrenches capitalism by making workers more vulnerable & exploitable! Our enemy arrives in limousine, not someone on a boat fleeing colonial devastation.
Being pro-migrant is central to our collective fight against fascism!

Polls show increasing support (over 70 percent) for immigration restriction.These racist policies have been justified under the false austerity logic of "not enough resources". As billionaires & banks & bosses make record profits - largely on the backs of migrant labour!!!

5. While some places (EU, US etc) use active militarization as deterrence, Canada's geographic location allows it to use slow bureaucratic violence as deterrence. Processing times for many PR streams is now 50 years (!).

4. At a provincial level, governments are also restricting immigration. Ontario, literally overnight, cancelled its ONIP skilled trades stream and Quebec has ended its PEQ stream. This leaves thousands of workers in limbo and distress.

3. Bill C-12 being pushed through by Carney is a MASS machinery of deportation. It allows Canada to deport refugees without a hearing and grants mass immigration status-cancellation powers to ministers (internal documents released to CBC suggest targeting people from Punjab, India, and Bangladesh).

2. Now the new budget further slashes refugee & humanitarian spots by over 10,000; cuts international student numbers in half (mostly students from Punjab and India); introduces co-pays that will deny refugees basic healthcare; and reduces temporary residents by 43 percent compared to 2025 numbers.

1. Already, in 2025, the number of international students (who subsidize increasingly privatized post-secondary education) and migrant workers has dropped by 53 percent compared to last year. Refugee claims have also been reduced by about 30 percent compared to 2024.

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?
Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

Tony Blair heading up so-called Gaza International Transitional Authority is disgustingly apt for an imperial plan.
Not only is he a war criminal who led UK invasion of Iraq, but he now heads Tony Blair Institute - a capitalist haven for security & global imperial governance in "fragile states."

Beautiful to see more support infrastructure joining the flotilla - much of which exists because they are responses to border violence.
Life Support medical vessel now joining has been doing missions in Central Med - world's deadliest border, and has done over 3000 rescues.
