On May 1, 2010 (International Workers Day)
1pm, St. Jamestown
Wellesley St. and Ontario St.
5th Annual May Day of Action
Kenney and Harper are waging a covert war against immigrants and refugees. Swift legislative changes are gutting the refugee system. More and more people are on temporary work programs living in poverty, separated from families, paying taxes, and surviving without the most basic access to social services.
With one hand, Canada and its friends push people out of their homes. With the other, they slam the door, shutting us out. The few of us that are allowed in are funneled into temporary work programs.
Yet every year thousands of people make the difficult and courageous journey here. Those that gain citizenship struggle against racism and exploitation, the last hired, the first fired. Those that are denied live and work in the shadows, often in fear of being swept up and deported.
