For the first time, Canadian workers have forced the repeal of back-to-work legislation. The inspiring struggle of the 55,000 Ontario education workers has achieved an important partial victory. The government thought they would crush the workers by preemptively making their strike illegal, imposing a contract, and violating their constitutional rights with the “notwithstanding clause”. But instead the Doug Ford regime provoked an illegal strike that was spreading into an Ontario-wide general strike. Faced with the immense power of the workers the government blinked, and agreed to withdraw the legislation. We should recognize that this is a significant blow to the use of strikebreaking legislation by capitalist governments, while also recognizing that the education struggle is not over and the workers still don’t have a contract.

Described as the ‘Greek Watergate’, it is alleged that a long list of journalists and opposition politicians had their phones bugged by the state. Coupled with high inflation, which is suffocating the living standards of the working class and the poor, the rotten New Democracy government is wracked by multiple crises. It is in this context that a one-day general strike begins tomorrow.
El 26 de octubre se cumplieron 40 días del asesinato de la joven iraní-kurda, Mahsa Amini, por la policía de la moral del régimen. Siendo el último día del período de duelo chiíta tradicional, se encontró con protestas masivas, convirtiéndose en un nuevo punto culminante del movimiento, con protestas en casi todas las ciudades importantes. En muchas ciudades kurdas estalló una huelga general; en todo el país se realizaron huelgas de los bazares en apoyo al movimiento; y en el Metro de Teherán los conductores se declararon en huelga en apoyo a la juventud revolucionaria.
