PDF – Print (11 x 17) Poster text: Fire to the Cybernetic Prison It’s never too late to resist Artificial Intelligence AI labs, recipients of several $100M in government funding, are working to put “machine learning” algorithms in the service of a long list of industries. Under an “ethical” facade, some applications will simply allow well-placed capitalists to further enrich themselves. Others aim to reinforce repression, whether detecting shoplifters at the supermarket with automated video surveillance, developing facial recognition tools that work even on partly covered faces, or “predicting” crime or the probability of a prisoner re-offending. ...

— Nore (@noreornot) August 29, 2020 Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info Demonstrators took down the statue of John A. Macdonald today in downtown Montreal, at the end of the demonstration to defund the police. Macdonald was Canada’s first prime minister. He is responsible for the creation of the residential school system, the adoption of laws aiming to exclude people of Chinese origin, and the hanging of Métis martyr Louis Riel. A symbol of the colonialism and racism that persist in this country, the Macdonald statue had already been vandalized with paint many times. Further details will follow.

Atalante is a neo-fascist organization mainly present in Quebec City (s ee the articles of Montréal Antifasciste concerning them ). In Montreal, the group gathers a handful of neo-Nazis. Here we expose two of them. Shawn Beauvais-Macdonald, the now famous Charlottesville Nazi , is a long-standing fellow traveler of Atalante (in the photos below, he poses with Raf Stomper, the head of the organization, and in an Atalante action). He resides in an apartment on the second floor of 2045 Elmhurst Avenue in Montreal-West. ...

On August 3, in so called Smithers BC, we attacked Val’s Drilling rig #004, using the accelerant in plastic bottles and firestarter cube method. After receiving word that the drill had arrived in Smithers, we departed from Prince George immediately. After arriving in Smithers and getting our bearings, we posted up at the park across the street from the hotel that the drill was parked at. After gathering sufficient Intel, a plan was developed, and the decision to act in the early morning was agreed upon. After the device was planted and ignited, we immediately left back to prince George via highway 16. We believe that firm action is required to ensure that CGL does not drill underneath the Wedzin Kwah, by whatever means necessary. Solidarity with our Haudenoshaunee brothers and sisters facing off with the OPP pigs. No state militia sponsored industry on the stolen land that is Turtle Island.

In response to the call for a day of action in solidarity with the ongoing resistance in Portland from the PNW Youth Liberation Front on July 25th, we put up some posters made for the occasion in Montreal. Small simple solidarity with those fighting every day for a world without police and the white supremacy they uphold. - Anarchists

The night of July 11th, the Volvo belonging to Vince Parente was burned in front of his home in Ste-Thérèse. Vince Parente was just recently named interim associate deputy minister at the Ministry of Public Safety. Besides this nomination, he is the assistant director-general for the Montreal region at the Bureau of Correctional Services. In clearer terms, he is the boss of the prison wardens at Bordeaux and Rivière-des-Prairies in Montreal. ...

Cops are murderers. We burned their cars. You can too. We used three incendiary devices: square plastic bottles filled about 3/4 of the way with a mixture of gasoline and motor oil. We used super glue to attach two individually packaged fire cubes (which you can find in camping, hardware, and grocery stores) to the side of each bottle. At each car, we placed a bottle on its side (cubes facing up), pushed it under the tire of the car, and lit the cube. ...

Montreal, July 2, 2020 – As part of #CancelCanadaDay actions throughout the Canadian state, the #MacdonaldMustFall group in Montreal has once again vandalized the Macdonald Monument in Montreal, this time in yellow paint. According to Roy G. Biv of #MacdonaldMustFall in Montreal: “This statue should either remain vandalized with paint, and we can declare a truce, or better yet, it should be taken down. Taking down a statue celebrating a racist person does not erase history, it is part of the ongoing struggle to resist racism and to properly contextualize our collective past.” ...

Acting in small groups to attack the institutions and infrastructures of power can destabilize our enemies, show others who want to fight that they have accomplices, and render our own capacities for resistance tangible, undeniable even, to ourselves. It’s always a good moment to attack. In the context of the pandemic, where demos, occupations, and other more massive forms of struggle involve greater risks than usual, it’s increasingly relevant to organize in small groups for actions that give strength to anti-capitalist, anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian struggles. Whether it’s to recover the momentum of #ShutDownCanada, to spread the revolt against the police and racism that has exploded in the United States, or to sabotage prisons and the border regime, attack opens up possibilities that we would be unwise to pass up. ...

The following is an interview intended for an international and revolutionary audience. It includes questions from the Greek anarchist radio project RadioFragmata regarding the insurrection against white supremacy happening in the USA. The interview is with members of RAM (Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement) and anonymous anarchists from the USA. It is intended to help explain the circumstances and events happening in the USA. “Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they’ve always made me glad.” - Malcolm X ...

Montreal, June 15, 2020 – Last night – in a post-Victoria Day / pre-Canada Day action – the Macdonald Monument at Place du Canada was sprayed in purple paint by local anti-colonial vandals. -> Photos of the vandalized statue are available here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/XY4WtR4 The anti-colonial statue vandals practiced physical distancing, wore masks, and washed their hands before and after the action. According to Seamus Grewal, one of the statue vandals: “The Macdonald Monument is the Canadian equivalent of a racist, Confederate statue in the United States; it stands as a symbol of colonialism and the subjugation of Indigenous peoples. The Macdonald Monument celebrates an individual whose policies are directly responsible for the genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada, and the celebration of white supremacy.” ...
