Emergency action now to address the wildfire crisis!

Put people and the planet before profit, to end the climate catastrophe!

The Communist Party of Canada (Ontario) calls for immediate, emergency action to address the ongoing wildfire crisis which is gripping the province. The rapidly expanding wildfires are destroying communities in Northern Ontario and displacing Indigenous nations and many working-class people there. The fires are blanketing the rest of the province in a thick coating of smoke, leading to disastrous health outcomes for working people hundreds of kilometres away from the fires themselves.

Education is a right! Full public funding and free tuition now!

The Communist Party of Canada (Ontario) stands with tens of thousands of post-secondary students and education workers who have mobilized against Doug Ford’s latest attacks. Education is a right, not a privilege – it should be fully funded by the government and provided free of tuition. Student debt should be cancelled, and students should be provided with a stipend to cover their living expenses.
Ford’s February 12 announcement that Ontario is ending the years-long tuition freeze and reducing OSAP grants to a maximum of 25 percent of student assistance is a deliberate step that accelerates the drive to privatization in post-secondary education.
