Résumé pour les francophones: je dis aux anglos et aux francos qui écrivent juste en anglais de guette leur chitte toguédeure. Pas parce qu'iels écrivent juste en anglais, mais parce que leurs interventions valent pas dla crisse de marde.
***
(I have beef with intentional unilingual francophones too, I will settle the scores later.)
A kind reminder to my Anglo anarchist friends and also Francos who gave up translating their shit in French: lots of BIPOC people in Montréal can't read English, including First Nation members. They won't be aware of the drama you're feeding into in your long-ass articles, weird apologies on Instagram, etc.
Montréal has become hostile to people who come from the surrounding «régions» and suburbs - mostly poor and middle-class young French-speakers - due to high rent. It is no longer a living environment for them. Now that I'm back at school, I meet more and more people in their late twenties or early thirties who still live at their parent's place, out of town, and spend 1 hour, 2 hours on the road to get to UQAM. (Including racialized individuals: not only white suburbans).
Until maybe 2018, the suburban/regional undergrads and cégep young adults who had moved to Montréal to study were easy to mobilize and motivated to change things. They are now exhausted by incessant travel and their day-job or night-shift. Moreover, they lack or can't use gathering spaces and organize as easily as we could back in 2012.
I feel this is an important factor in some organizations and individuals giving up on French, especially in the Montréal queer community on social media. A part of the traditional foundation of Québec anarchism is simply no longer living here, and McGill & Concordia kids finally took the empty seats - which is the worst case scenario in my opinion.
People who got in Montréal during or after the first years of the pandemic are totally unaware of that - most of them don't know a lot about Québec recent history anyways and won't do the effort to check.
The proportion of posts that are clearly originally written in French declined a lot in the last two-three years, on my feed. It's not the first time I do mention it. Most of the French posts now come from orgs or collectives such as Alter Acadie, which is based outside Québec.
Globally, anarchism and radical leftism weakened enormously in Montréal. I'm not accusing you : I think you are a symptom of gentrification.
But in a way, I would not see you making a renewed genuine effort into translating your shit into French/Spanish/Arabic/Créole as an actual good thing for the future of radical leftism and anarchism in Montréal - this is the irony.
Because I think most of our debates have lately been absolutely fucking useless garbage and I'd prefer working-class mainly French-speakers (middle-class youth tend to have a better English) to not be exposed to this, and I even hope they never meet you in person, in the sad and delusional state you are right now. That is also the reason why I won't translate this post into French.
Are we really fucking having another totally ignorant debate on Tarot and identity politics, mainly based on... I don't know, your intuition and what the wind whispered into your ears? Is this what's become of us?
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, FOLX. We can do better.

"Rad Pride : une manifestation pour repolitiser la Fierté" de https://pivot.quebec/2023/08/11/rad-pride-une-manifestation-pour-repolitiser-la-fierte/
Ce samedi soir, 20h, métro Papineau !
« Il y a une tendance à penser que les droits qu’on a […] ce sont des choses qu’on nous a données, que la société s’est juste améliorée toute seule, mais c’est pas vrai », pense la militante du P!nk bloc. « C’est des combats politiques qui ont été menés, il y a des gens qui se sont fait péter la gueule, il y a des gens qui ont affronté la police dans la rue. »

Ok, so friends of mine were doing part of the walk from #tiotiake (#mtl) to #RoxhamRoad as a #RefugeesWelcome event. Unfortunately, the walkers were stopped momentarily in Longueuil by the local police.
The piggies were pissed because the organizers gave them an itinerary, but had to change it at the last minute due to the weather. Apparently there was an extensive discussion on how the organizers didn't have to give an itinerary anyway, the police were overstepping their power, etc. etc.
The walkers were keeping on the sidewalk FFS, they didn't even step on the street. There were people walking on the same sidewalk the police forbid the walkers to use.
The organizers didn't want to push it since some of the walkers had precarious immigration statuses, an understandable position.
But yeah, you give the police an inch (give them an itinerary), they'll take a mile (still nitpick the itinerary you gave them).
So in summary: don't talk to police, #ACAB, #FTP, and especially fuck the longueuil police. We oughta organize a radical protest out there like we did in 2012 and make the fuckers run for their paycheck again.

J'ai vu que des tankies prétendent que le #SalonDuLivreAnarchiste de Mtl a été «attaqué» par des pro-Ukraine: c'est pas vrai, j'étais là. Contexte: des fachos pro-Poutine et des conspis ont décidé de tenir un rassemblement, dimanche dernier, un peu à l'écart du SLA.
Les organisateurs/trices du rassemblement sont les mêmes énergumènes haineux qui pourrissent la vie de la communauté ukrainienne qc en ce moment. Pas des anars, et y sont pas affilié-e-s au #SLA. Le #FestivalInternationalDeThéâtreAnarchiste de #Mtl (FITAM) est copain avec le SLA par contre parce qu'il se passe juste avant pis c'est le même public international qui va aux deux événements.
Le FITAM a présenté, cette année, une pièce de théâtre intitulée «MARUSYA NIKIFOROVA: Ukraine’s legendary anarchist warrior» cette année. L'image ci-dessous, c'est l'affiche du FITAM 2023. ⬇️C'est-tu assez clair la position des anars de Montréal sur l'🇺🇦?
Oui, des gens de la communauté ukrainienne ont contre-manifesté. Pas contre le SLA - contre les Z. En tout, en comptant les pro-Poutine et les gens de la communauté ukrainienne, y'avait peut-être 25-30 personnes à ce rassemblement.
Le public du SLA a plus ou moins décidé d'ignorer les pro-Poutine, parce que s'il y a bien quelque chose qu'on veut pas au SLA, c'est des flics et de la répression. Mais la police a été appelée par les pro-Poutine parce qu'iels chiaient dans leurs culottes. Sfaque la police est venue au SLA.
À ma connaissance, les gens du SLA ont pas été harcelés par les flics, heureusement. Mais sérieux: Fuck les pro-Poutine et fuck leur instrumentalisation de la liberté d'expression à des fins de propagande haineuse.

@antifaintl This article is better than most, but it could go in more details how terrible the so-called "LGB alliance" actually is. There's an open letter by the counter-demo's organizer which goes into more details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tRxRwYvrsT4vvYs85ATIzcDCtSIpy0YggpSKAkYDbMc/edit
I wasn't at the counter-demo, but someone who was said that it was a complete success: the transphobe was forced to run away from the room, the "debate" was cancelled, and the counter-protest proceeded to do an impromptu march in support of trans healthcare rights.
Social medias are ripping their shirts about "'mah freedom of expression" but let's make one thing very, very clear :
PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO EXIST ARE NOT UP TO DEBATE.

I'm sick of these m*fucking transphobes in my m*fucking city! McGill University, in line with their pro-war, pro-genocide, pro-pipeline, anti-Palestine and anti-Indigenous agenda, is organizing a conference with an outspoken transphobe from the UK this Tuesday, January 10th, at 12:40 at their 3644 Peel building: https://www.facebook.com/events/940420110675026/ At least the shitstains at the McGill admin are coherent with their values...

prime minister legault is really playing with fire. I've done way, way, way too many vigils for murdered black kids, and the crowd is getting more and more restless.
community leaders keep reminding people of MLK (and never Malcom X and the Black Panthers of course) to calm things down but i feel like the kids are listening less and less. they're itching for a fight: anything's better than waiting to be slaughtered.
remember that for every black kid killed, there's a dozen imprisoned on trumped up charges, a hundred arrested for no reason, a thousand harassed on a daily basis...
our leaders prides themselves that the George Floyd protests weren't so intense here, but we're really standing knee-deep in gasoline here and our fucking police are throwing lit matches at each other.
how quick do they forget the Villanueva riot!

CW: Sexual violence, abuse
So anyway, here's a rant about the current #EducationInternStrike.
Disclaimer: I'm not studying education, i'm not an intern, i'm not on strike. I'm writing in ze englische because there's been really little media coverage here (in quebec), and even less in english.
So, a lot of education students (those aiming to teach at middle and high school) are currently on strike: they're not doing their internships, they're not going to school. Why? Because the situation is, literally, unbearable.
As part of their formation, they need to do some full-time internships. In addition to the internships, they also need to fill reports, answer questions and well, doing schoolwork. The problem? These internships are unpaid. This means that an education student need to do an internship full-time, do schoolwork part-time, work on her/his own part-time to pay rent and food... and that's not accounting the students who are also parents and must take care of their own children. It is simply too much work.
To make matter worse, there is currently a massive teachers' shortage, so these internships are subpar at best. A lot of their internship is therefore unsupervised. When it is supervised, more often then not another student intern is doing the supervision! And it's been going on for so long that the education system relies massively on all this unpaid work.
And this is not considering the sexist angle of the thing: Most internships in male-dominated domains (ex.: engineering) are paid, and a good salary too. Most internships in female-dominated domains (ex.: middle and high school teaching) are not.
So what's the consequence? A lot of the students give up before graduating. And when they do graduate, they are already burned out. And end up leaving the profession within five years. That phenomenon has dragged on for year and has created a nasty vicious circle, as more and more older teachers leave, there's fewer and fewer replacements.
To make matters worse, when you're not paid, you're not protected. You're not part of the teachers' union, you're not even protected by workers' law. You break your leg on the job? Well, though luck, there's no workers' comp for you because you're not a worker. Interns report a staggering amount of sexual assault, along with general abuse and threats made by coworkers and classes' students. And there's nothing they can do beside go to the cops, who are all to happy to wipe their asses with their complaints (as is custom when a woman mention sexual assault).
There's been lots of actions by interns in previous years (stretching back almost a decade, AFAIK). The quebec state reacted after the last intern strike by going divide and conquer. They gave a few grants to some internships. Note that it's only a grant, not pay. They are still not considered as workers, even when they teach full time a full class without supervision. Aaaaand the state sortof backpedaled and finally won't give all the money promised. Here's my surprised face.
So, the education interns are trying a new tactic. Instead of targeting the state, they're targeting universities. They're basically saying: either you pay us (which they won't, they can't afford it), or you make sure our working conditions are well, teaching conditions. Conditions where they can learn and graduate, and not conditions where they prop up a broken system.
The UQAM, the public university in #tiotiake #mtl, reacted by threatening to punish the 750 students who went on strike. The other student associations reacted by calling a solidarity strike. So a big part of the UQAM is currently on strike. And a lot of students outside Montreal also did a strike, are on strike, or are planning a strike.Will it leads to something bigger? I dunno, but it's definitely worth a watch. I know a lot of nursing interns are currently watching...
