Today we have a donation appeal from the Socialist Equality Party -SEC-.

” In Canada, the recent election of a majority Conservative government was hailed by the corporate media and big business as a necessary first step in a full-scale assault on what remains of the gains won by the working class during the great social struggles of the last century. The rapid intervention of Harper and his government to illegalize the struggles of the Air Canada and Canada Post workers and forcefully impose the employers’ concessions demands is only the opening shot in a new ruling-class offensive.

 In the face of a concerted assault by big business, the government and the media against the Canada Post workers, the New Democratic Party (NDP), the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) refused to mount any meaningful struggle against the Harper government. In fact, they isolated the postal workers’ strike and orchestrated its defeat.

 During the postal workers’ dispute, only the SEP and the WSWS advanced a program for developing a working-class counter-offensive. Through articles, on-the-spot reports and interviews, the WSWS gave a voice to postal workers and presented a genuine perspective for struggle—the necessity of transforming the collective-bargaining struggle of the postal workers into a political struggle of the entire working class—while warning workers against the inevitable betrayal of the NDP and the unions. (See for example The criminalization of the Canadian postal strike and the role of the unions and NDP)

 The WSWS has also systematically exposed the turn of Canada’s ruling elite to anti-democratic methods of rules. We published a series of articles on the police provocation at the G20 summit in Toronto in June 2010. Even more important was our analysis of the crisis surrounding the prorogation of Parliament in December 2008, whereby the Conservatives prevailed on the un-elected and unaccountable Governor-General to prevent parliament from exercising its constitutional right to defeat the government. Only the SEP focused workers’ attention on the implications of the ruling class’ fulsome support for using undemocratic methods to keep Harper in power. At the same time, we warned workers that the proposed coalition of the Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois—an alternate government pledged to implement Harper’s tax cuts and waging war in Afghanistan—was a trap for the working class. (The lessons of this critical experience are summarized in One Year Since Canada’s Constitutional Coup)

The WSWS has also sought to expose the treacherous role played by the newly-minted Official Opposition. Far from constituting an alternative for working people, the social-democratic NDP, as even the corporate media has noted, upholds virtually all the cuts made to the taxes of big business and the rich over the past two decades, endorses the drive to eliminate the budget deficit which is serving as the pretext for massive cuts in public services, and supports the deployment of Canada’s armed forces in imperialist war, as underscored by its enthusiasm for NATO’s war on Libya.

 In the coming months, the SEP Canada is committed to expanding our analysis and coverage of the key trends and events in Canadian political, economic and cultural life. This work is crucial to developing a politically independent movement of the working across the country and bringing a progressive solution to the terminal crisis of capitalism through the reorganization of society to meet the social needs of all, not the profits of a handful of super-rich.

 Through the development of the WSWS Français (the French-language section of the WSWS), the use of other means of reporting such as video, and the creation of a SEP Canada website, we will extend the influence of the WSWS, making accessible to the largest possible Canadian and international audience the revolutionary socialist program of the SEP and the International Committee of the Fourth International.

This urgent work cannot be accomplished without the active support of our readers and supporters. Please contribute as generously as you can to our “Fighting Fund.” ‘
