International Students and Migrant Workers across Canada are self-organizing a migrant struggle against an exploitative immigration system.

See the moment protestors block intersection while chanting
No More Komagata Maru

Canadians who complain about Tim Hortons are really eager to implicate migrants these days, and we decided to explore why

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

We are the Surrey Detention Center in solidarity with detained migrants. Canada is expanding its deportation machinery, not one more detention, not one more deporation

[Amardeep Kaur @kaurletters]

I wrote in @panth_punjab about the protest in Brampton Canada that ran for 143 DAYS by international students & workers. The feature documents the encampment, speeches, poetry, chants, teach-ins & more. Power ✊🏾 to migrants @NSNPeel @j4mw

Every year the alarms are sounded about food insecurity, cost of living, and unaffordablility of essentials. Yet, nothing has been done. Last year's GST holiday was a stupid gimmick.

[CTV News @CTVNews]

Food costs are spiralling. These Canadians are turning to food banks for help https://t.co/8o1pIgmItN

You think an economic depression in 2025 would look the same as one in 1929 or even 2008? The national and global economy, technology and society are vastly different, so of course an economic depression won't manifest the same especially with the gov't and media lying about it.

Duolingo thought of the day. The sudden vilification of "illegal" truckers. All contrived. Distractions to divide people.

[zellie @zellieimani]

Nearly half of SNAP households are white. But white supremacists want you to think it’s single black women and illegal immigrants.

@EatTheRich2025 In Canada, it's been happening for awhile against Sikh working-classes and international students. Now it's coming at other Sikhs.

[The Grind @TheGrindTO]

We'll be following the story, but for now, here's a look at what life has been like for renters without rent control. https://t.co/3YDTgOwGdA

[The Grind @TheGrindTO]

The Ontario government reverses course and announces today it won't scrap rent control, after proposing the change on Thursday.

Many tenants voiced anger at the government and tenant groups vowed they would put up a strong fight.

[The Breach @TheBreachMedia]

With grocery giants ripping off Canadians, it’s time for a bold alternative: public grocery stores.

Food analyst Aaron Vansintjan explains how a publicly-run grocery option could solve the crisis of skyrocketing food costs.

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

The climate crisis is not some distant threat; it is here, bearing down on workers who already face some of the most exploitative conditions, says Chris Ramsaroop of @j4mw. https://t.co/Kkswj28h5i

[Equity Network @EquityNetworkD]

Blaming immigrants for Canada’s policy failures is lazy and xenophobic.

It’s not immigrants who gutted affordable housing. It’s not immigrants who underfunded healthcare.
It’s not immigrants who built a system exploiting temp workers.

Greed, short-term politics, and poor planning did that.
Don’t scapegoat people trying to build a better life.
Blame the system failed us all.

[The Grind @TheGrindTO]

The Ford government has proposed a series of changes that will effectively end rent control in Ontario. It's an "apocalypse for tenants," one advocate tells The Grind.

@emmapaling and @rdassaly report.

We often think if we slow down, things will fall apart if we won’t get as much done. But ironically, slowing down can improve all aspects of life—from work to relationships to overall life satisfaction. Here’s how slowing down can change everything: https://t.co/KA3zpT9jcj

@EatTheRich2025 Beautiful

[Guru Nanak Jahaz @GuruNanakJahaz]

It's a long road ahead to build a better world: Earth for all, without borders.

On this Diwali & Bandi Chhor Divas, remember the Sikh cause of Prisoners Liberation Day.

Keep the flames lit with the present day fight for migrant justice and liberation ~
