Early in the morning of August 23, the Heritage Village Scotiabank branch (111st & 23ave) in Edmonton had its doors glued shut and windows spray painted with the message “SCOTIABANK FUNDS GENOCIDE”, calling out the bank for its illegal investments in Elbit System, Israel’s largest privately-owned weapons manufacturer. Elbit provides up to 85 percent of the land-based equipment procured by the Israeli military and about 85 percent of its drones.
To any inconvenienced by the actions taken to disrupt the flow of weapons, consider moving your money to a credit union that will not invest it in genocide.
It is all of our obligation to impose material costs on all entities that enable and profit from genocide. Let no bank or branch be allowed to carry on with business as usual while they profit from the slaughter of Palestinians. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Take action, take care.

« … the state, the bourgeoisie and even the working class have been constituted in part through the destruction of First Nations, the dispossession of their territories, the extortion of their resources and settler colonialism– Francis Dupuis-Déri et Benjamin Pillet, 2019. L’anarcho-indigénisme. Lux Éditeur, Montréal. p.35
Over the past few weeks, blockades of forestry roads have been carried out in Haute-Mauricie and in the north of Lac-Saint-Jean by the MAMO Alliance (First Nation). These actions, conducted to contest Bill 97 on forestry regime reform, have interrupted or disrupted forestry operations.
Uniting First Nations for Sovereignty and Territory Protection
It was on April 11, 2025 that an assembly was held in La Tuque to found the MAMO Alliance. This alliance, whose name means « Together » in the Atikamekw (Nehiromowin) and Innu (Innu-aimun) languages, aims to bring together First Nations in exercising their sovereignty. It was initiated by the land guardians of Nehirowisiw (Atikamekw), Nitassinan (Innuat) and Ndakina (Abénakis).
Opposition to Bill 97 and Sovereignty
The land guardians express their disagreement with Bill 97, which modifies Quebec’s forestry regime. They believe this law endangers forest caribou and forest sustainability, thus compromising the traditional Indigenous way of life during the climate crisis.
Numerous blockades and demonstrations of sovereignty have generated tensions between Indigenous protesters and (non-Indigenous) forestry workers, also fueling hateful comments on social media. In response to this situation, the Quebec government has promised to negotiate with First Nations to find consensus and consider amendments to the bill.
Traditional Indigenous groups (like the MAMO alliance), who rely on ancestral rights and traditions, maintain that true authority over forestland belongs to families and land guardians. They consider that current band councils, established by the Canadian government’s Indian Act system, do not reflect traditional sovereignty and are perceived as accomplices of the colonial system. These groups believe that band councils cannot negotiate on behalf of all members of the nations.
The Petapan Treaty and Forest Management
This tension between band councils and traditionalists is not new; it also appears in other negotiations, such as the Petapan Treaty. Under negotiation for more than forty years, this draft treaty involves the Petapan Group, which brings together the First Nations of Essipit, Mashteuiatsh and Nutashkuan, as well as Canada and Quebec, and aims to recognize, confirm and protect Innu rights. However, traditionalists oppose this treaty, claiming that the traditional governance of hereditary chiefs and territory guardians is being set aside in favor of band councils.
Conclusion
There will be no reconciliation without reparation. The Canadian and Quebec states were established on the appropriation of Indigenous peoples’ lands and resources. To achieve true reconciliation, it is essential to support and engage in decolonial and environmental struggles. It is crucial to become true allies in this battle to protect the living world. That is to say, to avoid in our relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous people within decolonization movements: « the invisibilization of Indigenous people or the appropriation of their voice, the use of token Indigenous people, the imposition of tactical and strategic choices or a general attitude of guilt relief to give oneself a good conscience » (L’anarcho-indigénisme, p.10)
Footnote:
(1) Unlike other regions of Canada where historic treaties were signed, vast expanses of territory, notably in British Columbia and Quebec, have never been subject to land cession treaties.

Technology is a steaming pile of whatever. The salad of transistors, capacitors, and wires that we marinate in for 17.2 minutes before we drink our coffee are the first thing we see each morning, while our subversions of the droppings of surveillance capitalism are the last things burning their images into our retinas before we close our eyes each night. The AI-augmented totality that numbs our senses and optimizes our labour lumbers on, vulnerable but unhindered. Let’s not say we never tried.
The Montreal Anarchist Tech Convergence is a yearly gathering on the intersection of anarchism and technology.

Welcome to anarcho-curious techies, tech-curious anarchists, and everyone in between.
Our goal is to connect with each other, to practice, to throw that rectangle that constantly demands your attention into a blender and sculpt the shattered pieces into the shape of a butt to plaster onto your landlord’s porch.
On Monday, in New Hazelton four Gitxsan Development Corporation vehicles were burned.
Gitxsan Development Corporation works with McElhaney Geomatics Engineering which had vehicles destroyed by fire in Smithers and Terrace.

Depuis 1947, le peuple palestinien lutte contre l’occupation et la colonisation de ses terres par l’entité sioniste (connue sous son nom colonial ”Israël”). Alors que la création de cette entité sur des terres volées est facilitée par l’ONU, les Palestinien·nes, dépossédé·es et déplacé·es de force dans des territoires de plus en plus grugés par l’entité sioniste, ne se laissent pas faire et résistent à l’envahisseur. Alors que Gaza était assiégée depuis près de 20 ans, la résistance a culminé le 7 octobre 2023 dans un coup de force. Déterminé à ne tolérer le moindre écart de conduite, l’entité sioniste en a profité pour accélérer ses politiques et pratiques génocidaires contre le peuple palestinien avec la complicité de ses allié·es. Bombardé·es et affamé·es délibérément par l’entité sioniste depuis deux ans, les Palestinien·nes à Gaza luttent pour survivre et continuent de résister, tout comme les Palestinien·nes en Cisjordanie et à Jérusalem-Est qui font face à une accélération des attaques des colons et du vol de leurs terres.
Pendant que les Palestinien·nes sonnent l’alarme et implorent le reste du monde à arrêter cette violente machine de guerre qui a déjà fait des dizaines de milliers de martyrs, les gouvernements, incluant le ”Canada” et le ”Québec” enchaînent des déclarations vides de sens sur le « respect du droit international » et la fausse « solution à deux États », tout en continuant à supporter l’entité sioniste financièrement, militairement et politiquement, et en refusant d’imposer quelconque sanction. L’entité sioniste, armée par ses complices occidentaux et impérialistes, est bien décidé à prendre le contrôle complet de la bande de Gaza et à anéantir le peuple palestinien. L’armée d’occupation commet des massacres jour après jour en direct dans l’indifférence. Lorsqu’ils en parlent, les médias invisibilisent la réalité sur le terrain : une occupation militaire et une colonisation brutale de par l’entité sioniste, et une lutte de libération historique d’un peuple contre des puissances coloniales qui assujettissent le monde entier.
Cela fait deux ans que les peuples solidaires de la libération de la Palestine protestent partout dans le monde, en rupture avec leurs gouvernements complices. Les actions se multiplient : manifestations, campements, graffitis, occupations, actions de perturbation et de sabotage, flottilles, caravanes et marches mondiales pour briser le blocus. Continuons nos actions pour mettre fin au génocide en cours et soutenir le peuple palestinien dans sa lutte de libération, pour la justice et la dignité !
=======
Du 6 au 12 octobre 2025, D4P et la CLAC invitent tous·tes et chacun·e à s’organiser avec sa communauté en vue de provoquer, déranger et perturber pour visibiliser notre refus collectif à la complicité au génocide et rappeler la légitimité de la résistance, sous toutes ses formes, en Palestine et ici.
Alors que la violence et la déshumanisation des vies palestiniennes est devenue honteusement normalisée, la résistance en devient d’autant plus légitime et nécessaire ! Confrontons nos gouvernements à l’insignifiance de leurs actions et à leur complicité active ! Ciblons les profiteurs de guerre, où qu’ils soient dans la vaste toile de complicité : qu’ils produisent des armes, des outils d’intelligence artificielle, des fonds de pensions ou des services d’investissement ! En groupe d’affinités, en comités de quartier, avec nos associations étudiantes, dans nos lieux de travail, attaquons partout, par l’éducation populaire, les manifestations, l’action directe et notre mobilisation généralisée.
Pas de paix tant que Gaza saigne : notre devoir est la résistance, par tous les moyens!
* Cet appel à l’action fait écho à celui lancé le 20 juillet 2025 par six groupes politiques et organisations de résistance à Gaza qui nous demandent d’escalader nos actions pour accentuer la pression sur nos gouvernements complices.
Comments Off on Enbridge Sabotage: Disruption of Service on Line 9B

The boreal forest is burning, the water is being poisoned, all the trees are being cut down, and the treaties are being betrayed. The mirage we call “liberal democracy” bows down to the oil lobby. There is talk of new pipelines that will cross the country like scars, new gas projects that will disfigure the land.
Our history has always been that of an extractive colony founded on plunder and dispossession. It’s up to us to put an end to this disaster.
Last night, we attacked line 9B. This pipe of death snakes through lands stolen from Indigenous peoples, transporting the world’s dirtiest bitumen through waterways, cities and our lives. We hit two control valves, destroying the electronic equipment before vanishing into the night.
Now more than a dozen kilometers of pipeline can no longer be controlled by Enbridge. Until these installations are repaired, it is as dangerous as it is illegal to flow oil through them.
We choose to disarm Enbridge because the current system protects profit and lets ecosystems die. We are taking action because every barrel poisons us, kills us, flows against the grain of history. We are those who face the truth, who recognize the urgency of the situation. We choose to obey the love of life and the future.
Line 9B carries the end of the world barrel by barrel. It’s time to take direct aim at the infrastructures that are responsible.
The facilities concerned are at Saint-André d’Argenteuil (45°33’25.1 “N 74°20’53.7 ”W) and Mirabel (45°36’42.3 “N 74°04’46.6 ”W).

Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, August 18th, 2025 — it’s with a broken heart and rage in the stomach that autonomous militants targeted Quebecois media tonight, denouncing their biased coverage of the genocide of the Palestinian people, in particular the recent massacre of the Al Jazeera team in Gaza by the Zionist occupation forces. Tonight, we honour our martyred siblings Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohamed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa of Al Jazeera, Sahat Media journalist Mohammed Al-Khali, Saad Jundiya, and the 262 other journalists who have been killed in this inhumane affront against the freedom of the press. This autonomous action to redecorate the office of the Montreal Gazette (MG) was also in response to the call from the Palestinian resistance, published on July 20th, 2025, calling on international activists to escalate the pressure to open channels of humanitarian aid.
For the past two years, Quebecois media has been providing heavily biased, one-sided, and dehumanizing coverage of the genocide in Gaza. Their editorial framing presents a false symmetry of violence, erasing the fundamental colonial context: the Zionist Entity, “Israel,” has been an expansionist occupying power since 1948, and Palestine an occupied territory. Thr vocabulary chosen by Quebecois journalists has also been extensively documented as being biased in favour of “Israel,” which receives a far more empathetic treatment than the Palestinian victimes, who are treated with distance and coldness. Finally, in the face of the ban imposed by “Israel” against international journalists entering Gaza, Quebecois media have obeyed, without calling the ban into question whatsoever, and none of them have judged it necessary to hire a Palestinian correspondant to document the daily massacres. On the contrary, Quebecois media had offered an exclusive platform to Au the genocidal Zionist authorities, including the higher-ups Tsahal. And yet, no Quebecois media has invited any representatives of the Palestinian resistance to speak.
Tonight, MG was targeted in particular because they represent one of the most powerful propaganda tools of the dangerous and genocidal Zionist ideology. Tribune of choice of the fasho-zionist in chief of the municipal governments, Jeremy Levi, MG spews terrible articles and doubtful chronicles with the goal of encouraging the most sadistic cognitive dissonance of the 21st century. The daily paper has been denounced by the organization Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East at least two separate times over the quality of their coverage of the student encampments in solidarity with Palestine, and more generally for their pro-Zionist biases in their coverage of the genocide in Gaza. In addition, MG is a part of the large Postmedia. Network family, which also owns the National Post, a collection of mediocre pseudo-journalistic texts. It is therefore unsurprising to see MG’s editorial line staunchly in favour of Zionist ideologies. Indeed, the primary stakeholder in Postmedia Network is Chatham Asset Management, an American speculative investment fund known for its proximity to the Republican party, also known to be the power bottom of choice for the tyrannical and genocidal ambitions of Netanyahu. Not only should we thusly consider MG as foreign media, we should also not be surprised when it’s coverage takes so many liberties with basic journalistic integrity when it’s leaders flirt openly with modern fascism.
What will it take for the media to listen to the people and begin to cover the genocide in Gaza to the height of the principles of journalistic integrity to which they claim to adhere? Earlier this week, militants occupied the offices of La Presse and Radio-Canada, without being offered adequate coverage of their critiques against them. Only exception being a mediocre editorial at La Presse from François Cardinal hiding behind a false sense of neutrality to dodge his active role in the normalisation of the genocide in Gaza. It is becoming more and more clear that Quebecois media don’t want to hear anything about the demands and legitimate protests of the people, and that it is only through economic damage that they will understand that they are standing on the wrong side of history.
The April 2025 text “Echoes of an Overflow” engages in many of the hallmarks of ‘appelist’ discourse, a white political tendency that proposes alliances with reformist & liberal organizing structures as a strategic necessity to reach that promised land of the left-wing political tradition, “revolution.”
Specifically, it features: – exclusive citation of white euro theorists. – the suggestion that militant, destructive actions & their proponents are primarily responsible for a failure to be “understood.” – a lack of concern for [anti]political content—what people claim to be fighting for—paired with a near-exclusive concern for political form—the organizational structures [not] used. – repeated insistence on “necessities” (the word “must” appears 30 times in the anglican version). – a passionate desire to fuck the word “composition.” – a general attitude that the author[s] & whoever they cite approvingly are the only people who grasp the importance of having a plan.
Often, such texts are right, or at least insightful, about some things. The shortcomings of “revolutionary milieus” (“radical scenes,” “the left,” “the so-called movement”) are perceptively outlined, which strengthens the appe[a]l of their otherwise tepid proposals. But be careful! It’s a trap. The website dimanche.pm summarizes and collects numerous resources exploring the general problems with this approach.
“Echoes of an Overflow” has fuckall to say about whether or not “revolutionary milieus” are seeking to burn down klanada, to obliterate slaver colonialism & its world, to make amerika nothing again. In autre words, it is silent on what it would take to produce an overflow, revolutionary, insurrectionary, liberatory, apocalyptic if you like. Cities into funeral pyres. Tar sands into memorials. Allow me to begin with the idea that a milieu with desire and capacity to demolish prison/jail, spirit away criminals and animals meant for containment and slaughter because the milieu is composed of criminals and animals, will be able to answer this question in life beyond words. A milieu where britspeak or quebeckish are no longer necessities for socialization, because communication with these hegemons is no longer desired, will have grounds for a conception and way of life in unflinching antagonism to “prime minister,” “province,” “parliament,” “politics.”
Skulls of the defeated, fangs intact: mourn them, and let new monsters materialize.
Last night, multiple autonomous groups responded to the call from the Palestinian Resistance to activate and escalate pressure on international political, media, and economic institutions in order to allow aid into Rafah. Thus, Montréal/Tiohtiá:ke, as crowds gathered to applaud the finale of the fireworks season, multiple groups mobilised to remind you that in Gaza, the sounds of explosions signal death and ethnic cleansing.
For almost 22 months the Zionist Entity has been bombarding, torturing, attacking, and starving Palestinians, all before our eyes, and with full complicity from our leaders. As our siblings in Gaza live a famine orchestrated by Zionist forces, it is our responsibility to denounce the structures in place at the core of our society, which enable this genocide by normalizing the attrocities of the army, by normalising Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian hate, by profiting financially from Zionist propaganda, and by favouring repression against activists fighting for Palestinian liberation.
Who would be better to represent this complicity than Pierre-Karl Péladeau and his Quebecor empire? With a hand in each sphere of the media and culture landscape, Péladeau has played a large role in forming Quebecois public opinion for decades. Through a diversity of media entities, editing houses, advertising companies, and cultural productions, Quebecor propagates infinite hatred towards all vulnerable and marginalized communities. Queer and trans folks, drug users, immigrants, houseless people, just to name a few examples, all suffer dehumanization by the hands of PKP’s cronies. We can not ignore the systemic role that the Quebecor empire takes in the flagrant rise of Islamophobia in recent years; an integral element to the desensitization and general normalization of the Palestinian genocide in the public discourse. Through a plateform unilaterally offered to Zionists such as the CIJA lapdog Julien Corona, combined with an explosion of hateful rhetoric from his demagogues in chief, Quebecor looks to render the 77 years of Zionist colonialism in Palestine acceptable and palatable. But the people have not been duped, they are not insensitive. Even as PKP massively invests his dirty money in private security firms such as SIRCO, which profiles and brutalizes pro-Palestine activists, he will never succeed in normalizing the unacceptable.
It’s not because you are brown-nosing Zionists to shop for more Hollywood contracts that you will be able to shut us up, Péladeau!
Fuck your empire!
Fuck your Zionist friends!
Fuck your racism, your transphobia and your misogyny!
