Comments Off on The girls don’t want rights, they want freedom ! Coordinated attacks on GardaWorld: 3 sites vandalized

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
On the occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8) and International Day Against Police Brutality (March 15), the group Witches Against Power (WAP) simultaneously attacked the facades of three buildings, all linked to the company GardaWorld. This action is a response to the call sent by the River’s Uprisings to attack the architects of the end of the world, to interrupt the normality of domination.
The first site, located downtown (1390 Barré Street), is one of the company’s headquarters, where many armored vehicules dedicated to the transportation of cash are parked. The windows have been coated with a potion of acid and the walls, sprayed with paint. Cameras have been destroyed and the door lock is now filled with crazy glue. The other two sites are the private residencies of two board administrators : François Plamondon (residing at 4450 Sherbrooke Street West) et Jean-Luc Landry (residing at 90 Willowdale Avenue). Their houses have been covered with paint and messages over their entire length. Board members of GardaWorld are not accomplices, they’re perpetrators of the horrors we’re witnessing. Their front doors will be easier to wash than their consciences. The paint on their windows will go away, while the blood on their hands won’t.
GardaWorld is a Quebec company playing an increasingly important and controversial role in the international private security sector. Since 2022, the company has received more than 300 millions of dollars from the Quebec government and 26 millions of dollars from the canadian government (Observatoire pour la justice migrante, 2025). Our « very own company » provides security staff at the Everglades prison in Florida – also known as Alligator Alcatraz – a detention center for migrants, where people who’ve been kidnapped by ICE in the United States are sent. The company is also in charge of surveilling so-called « high-risk » migrants at the Immigration Detention Center of Laval. Here and abroad, GardaWorld has been rooted for years in the immigration detention system. The company watches, controls and imprisons bodies. It reinforces, hardens and militarizes borders. But our sisterhood doesn’t recognize any of them.
Every year in the West, March 8 becomes this day of celebration of women, of festivities even ! We’re offered flowers, we get Facebook posts dedicated to us, we highlight the progress made by companies on their “equity, diversity, inclusion” policies. We hear ridiculous things like “behind every great man, there’s a woman”. We emphasize the “brave resiliency of women in war-torn countries”. But we don’t give a shit about your flowers or your compliments. We don’t want any of these rights that you grant us, nor any other fake form of recognition for that matters. Neither lady cop, nor girlboss, nor stateswoman, we don’t see our integration to “male fields”, as gains from our struggles, but like the bars of a golden cage keeping us at bay of what really matters.
Far from being History’s passive victims, women have been and will still be pillars of the resistance worldwide. We hold camps and fallback positions, just like we hold baricades and frontlines. We are political subjects capable of attack, and what we aim for is nothing less but freedom. Think of that night’s action as proof of that last statement.
Fuck GardaWorld. Fuck the police. Fuck ICE. Fuck borders.
Fuck the control and surveillance of bodies : ours, and all our sisters’.
On March 3, The Tyee, an independent media outlet based in British Columbia, published an article by journalist Rachel Gilmore proving that activists from the Frontenac Active Club (FAC) regularly trained at Alpha Athletika, a gym in Saint-Léonard, apparently at the invitation of former Olympian Giulio Zardo, who was employed there as a coach.
We welcome the publication of this article and thank Rachel for her work, hoping that other journalists will finally also start taking these issues seriously.
The gym administrators told Rachel Gilmore that they were completely unaware of this situation, that the FAC training sessions (documented on the group’s Telegram channel) took place outside of regular opening hours, and that they had dismissed Giulio Zardo as soon as they found out. We have no reason to doubt their good faith.
The article provides convincingly evidence that Zardo participated in these training sessions and posed for propaganda photos with the white supremacist group. We have already mentioned Giulio Zardo in 2021 article, based on revelations made to us by a dirtbag from Atalante Québec’s entourage, but we have never found conclusive evidence of his active involvement in Québec’s neo-fascist milieu. That has now been remedied.
Giulio Zardo trains at Alpha Athletika in Saint-Léonard, where he was employed as a coach until March 3, 2026. On the right, we see Shawn Beauvais MacDonald, the de facto leader of the Frontenac Active Club. Photo taken from the Tyee article.Rachel Gilmore and Elizabeth Simons (Canadian Anti-Hate Network) identified Giulio Zardo in propaganda photos posted on the Frontenac Active Club’s Telegram channel.

The Tyee article omits some information that we feel is worth mentioning.
First, it should be noted that in addition to Shawn Beauvais MacDonald, who now serves as the group’s leader, another FAC member, Raphaël Dinucci, has been appearing in public over the past year (as recently as December 2025). It seemed as though he had withdrawn somewhat from this tiny community, since his girlfriend was expecting a baby and apparently gave birth in December, but it would appear that he has not learned his lesson and is digging in.

Raphaël Dinucci is standing at the back on the left with his face exposed. Note the Nazi salute on the right.
We also identified Martin Brouillette in other group photos, as we previously mentioned in our August 2024 article about the FAC. On the day that article was published, Brouillette wrote to us requesting that we remove his home address “for the safety of [his] young children” and asked, “What would you want in return?”
First of all, his children have nothing to fear, but, in any case, it would appear that the safety of his children is not enough of a priority to bring him to sever his ties with the neo-Nazis once and for all, since he still openly displays his support for Active Clubs on his Facebook page and was still posing (with his face blurred) in FAC propaganda photos in October 2024 (two months after the publication of our article).
To date, the cover illustration on Martin Brouillette’s Facebook page depicts a pile-up, with the words “Active Club.”Group photo of the Frontenac Active Club taken at the Alpha Athletika gym in Saint-Léonard and posted on the group’s Telegram channel in October 2024.

As for Shawn Beauvais MacDonald, we still don’t know whether the management of the Nautilus Plus gyms in LaSalle and Plateau Mont-Royal have finally decided to ban him from their facilities…

Finally, for those who still doubt the neo-Nazi nature of this project, we reproduce below two examples of posts from the FAC’s Telegram channel, administered by Beauvais MacDonald. We could show dozens more just like this, shared from channels with names as blunt as “Waffen SS Québec.”
This photo and accompanying quote from Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Party’s Minister of Propaganda, was published on the Frontenac Active Club’s Telegram channel in September 2025.

Comments Off on “FUCK TON NOUVEAU MONDE”: Vandalism at Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Downtown Montreal Offices
Feb272026
Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
Red spray paint spelling “FUCK TON NOUVEAU MONDE” (translation: fuck your new world), and a large amount of green paint were recently seen on Nouveau Monde Graphite’s Griffintown offices. Nouveau Monde Graphite is a Quebec company specialized in graphite mining and refinement. They plan to build the world’s first all-electric open-pit mine a couple hours north of Montreal, in St Michel des Saints, with construction projected to begin this year.
Over the weekend in Hochelaga, a company van belonging to ARA Robotique was burned.
ARA’s drones are equipped with advanced sensors and AI for real-time data analysis. Last year, the Quebec government awarded ARA and Laflamme Aero a subsidy of $8.8 million. These two companies produce drones and remotely controlled helicopters designed to enhance border surveillance.
The Quebec subsidy aligns with pending federal legislation aimed at intensifying Canadian border monitoring, as well as calls from the Trump administration for Canada to strengthen its border security.
With ongoing ICE raids in the U.S. and the expansion of rapid-response networks to protect those targeted by ICE, it is time to target companies and individuals who actively develop technologies designed to control people’s movements across borders.

Comrades, the time is now! The SPVM hath declared a registry of cameras, with nefarious AI to track our every move! We shall not bow to their surveillance! Take up these posters (FR/EN), these flyers, and these stickers, and spread them far and wide to ignite the flame of resistance! Quickly, fellow travelers, let us strike the ever-watchful eye!

This winter, teams got together to begin a new season of Camover. Some of them decided to film a few of their achievements.
The SPVM has implemented AI surveillance software that could integrate thousands of cameras both public and private. For attack on the infrastructures of techno-dystopia! Fewer prying eyes, more dead circuits on pavement.
2nd round: from Valentine’s Day to March 15th.
*Always think carefully before filming yourself during an action.
Looking at the current state of the world, it is all too easy to fall into despair and hopelessness. At best, things feel heartbreaking, and at worst, feel debilitatingly bleak. That said, this only part of the story. However bad things may seem, there is always possibilities for taking action. These possibilities might not be immediately obvious and likely aren’t easy, but nonetheless they are there and we want to help (however modestly) to make things happen.
Freedonia offers two categories of grants (small and large) to initiatives based in Canada that broadly reflect anarchist principles (i.e. equality, mutual aid, autonomy, direct action, solidarity etc.). We care less about labels, and more about what you do and how you do it. Our small grants offer funding of $2,000-$8,000, and our large grants offer funding of $8,001-$20,000. The majority of the grants we award fall into the small category, while the number of grants awarded that fall into the large category is much more limited (1-2 each year). We hope to receive both small and large grant applications, but want to be transparent that the large grants are more competitive.
We invite organizations, groups, and projects that embody the values of Freedonia to apply to our 2026 funding round. We support organizing that is oriented towards anti-authoritarian social change, and aim to fund projects that are committed to taking action outside of traditional channels and unlikely to be eligible to get funding elsewhere. We prioritize funding grassroots initiatives and autonomous undertakings, and are less likely to provide funding to organizations connected to established institutions and/or have large operating budgets.
At this moment, we are particularly enthusiastic to fund projects related to anarchist infrastructure broadly defined (i.e. including but not limited to material infrastructure). We want to support initiatives that build collective capacity; strengthen people’s long-term ability to organize; and expand the terrain of struggle.
We will be hosting an online info/Q&A session mid-February to discuss this year’s funding round and to answer any question you might have – keep an eye out for more details coming soon!
Comments Off on Nussir is a mountain, not a mine! – Call to action against the “Nussir mine” beyond liberal environmentalism in Norwegian-Occupied Sápmi
This is a global call to action against the copper-mine currently under construction in Riehpovuotna (called “Repparfjord” by the colonizers), in Norwegian-occupied Sápmi.The Canadian company Blue Moon Metals (BMM) – full owner of the mine’s operator Nussir ASA – is actively involved in the colonization of Sámi ancestral lands through the construction of two copper and precious metals mines in the region. This is part of a rapid expansion of corporate extractivism stemming from the EU’s Critical Minerals Act, as the “Nussir mine” has been named a “Strategic Project,” allowing for large land grabs and cutting through any environmental or Indigenous land protection under the banner of a so-called “Green Transition”. More information on the history of the land and the numerous Sámi-led struggles, can be found in the later sections.
2. WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Besides the Nussir copper-gold-silver project, BMM is currently advancing two other brownfield polymetallic projects, Nye Sulitjelma Gruver (NSG) copper-zinc-gold-silver project in Norway and the BMM zinc-gold-silver-copper project in California. All 3 projects are located within existing local infrastructure including roads, power grids, railways, and/or previous extractivist projects. This makes them desirable for investors, but also more easily accessible for those who wish to intervene.
In December 2025, the first phase of the Nussir-mine project was completed, by detonating an entrance tunnel through the mountain. The next phase entails preparation of surface areas, which means more activity above ground and around the mine. This is a crucial moment, as BMM now depends on much more investments to further pursue their operation. So let’s make this a nightmarish quest! We believe that there is a possibility to win this fight if we broaden our ways of attack and internationalize the struggle. We do not want to define your means or your targets. Do whatever feels in line with your way of acting and existing skills. It could be organizing a blockade, a banner drop, or a solidarity photo, while emphasizing the need for the most materially impactful actions at this time. We welcome your creativity and experience, and hope to see many different approaches on all kinds of platforms.
MAIN INVESTORS: These are the main targets on which we suggest to put pressure.
– Hartree Partners LP has invested $140 million USD in BMM, in conjunction with subsidiaryOaktree Capital Management, in the Nussir mining project, and is one of the largest investors in BMM. They have offices all over the world in, New York City, Istanbul, London, Geneva, Hamburg, Oslo, Cape Town, Dubai, Shanghai, Melbourne, Mexico City, Santiago, Lima, Houston, St. Louis, Washington DC, Tokyo and Toronto.
– Oaktree Capital Management has offices in Stockholm, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Zurich, Paris, Madrid, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Sydney, Singapore, Dubai, Bejing, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai.
– Monial Norwegian LLC, owned by the Holta family, owns 10% of the shares in Blue Moon Metals and 32% (6,74 mill NOK) of Nussir ASA. Office is outside of Oslo.
OTHER KEY COLLABORATORS/COMPANIES INVOLVED: Engage with these based on where you are located and what’s possible for you.
– Wheaton Precious Metals operates and invests in mining projects and contributes 3% of BMM’s funding as a strategic shareholder.Wheaton has offices in Vancouver, Cayman Islands and Luxembourg.
– Altius Minerals Corporation is a 2% shareholder and Canadian company that owns royalties for 12 mines producing Potash and “High Purity” Iron Ore, Gold and Base & Battery Metals as well as 13 renewable energy projects worldwide. Exploration for more possible mining activities in Swedish-occupied Sámpi is currently happening through the Canadian-based mineral exploration company Gungnir Resources around Knaften. Their offices are located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Labrador and Surrey, Canada.
– Baker Steel Resources Trust(BSRT) Guernsey registered investment company. BSRT have 7,5% ownership in BMM.Owned by Baker Steel Capital with offices in London and Perth.
– WG-Wergeland Group is a Norwegian investment office with interests in the maritime and industrial sectors, and a 5% strategic shareholder inBMM.They are an important base for the Norwegian shareholders and provide economic stability as “a trustworthy investor in the European market”. Locations in Dalsøyra and Sløvåg.
– LNS AS (Leonhard Nilsen og Sønner AS) is a Norwegian company working onsite digging the tunnel, roads and building barracks. They’re a 3% strategic shareholder in BMM with offices in Risøyhamn and Andøya. The largest owners of LNS are:
– 28,59% Tuncomp AS, consulting (Risøyhamn) – 21,6% Malmat Invest AS(Narvik) – 20% Hospitality Invest Capital AS, electrical installation work (Oslo) – Entrepenør Harald Nilsen AS is a Norwegian construction company based in Alta. Owns 3,48% shares in Nussir ASA. – Anlegg nord AS is a Norwegian machinery contractor based in Alta and owns 1,69% shares in Nussir ASA. – Alessa AS/Multi Service Nord AS is a Norwegian company based in Kvalsund and works on site renovation and building maintenance, cleaning services, snow removal, providing security guards, etc.
RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS: – UiT The Arctic University of Norway – Norwegian Mining Museum – Norwegian University of Science and Technology – Norges geologiske undersøkelse (NGU)
3. WHY TO ACT NOW
Just like other projects that are currently attempting to colonize Sápmi (e.g. North Bothnia Line Railway,Beowolf’s Gállok Iron Ore Mine, LKAB’s Per Geijer mining expansion in Giron, 420kV power lines), the “Nussir-mine” is still vulnerable. Its completion depends on funds that are still lacking, as well as on unfinished or non-existent infrastructures. So, while any form of attack weakens the full realization of these projects, the success of any one such project will also open the door for many more land grabs and the finalization of Norway’s and Europe’s white supremacist colonial expansion on the continent.
In the case of Riehpovuotna, we can already see how Nussir ASA aspires to follow the footsteps of LKAB in Giron, Swedish-occupied Sápmi. There, an entire village was transformed into a corporate nightmare, where, in addition to lost reindeer herding grounds, the city center and several homes had to be resettled due to sinking grounds caused by mining. Currently, Nussir ASA is exploring the potential of platinum and palladium deposits to possibly extend the current mining project throughout the region. To increase their influence and secure future control over the territories, they also plan to finance local startups (e.g. Alessa AS, see targets below) and homeowners.
BUT: To realize their colonizer fantasies, Nussir ASA still needs to acquire funds and will make a final investment decision in March 2026. They will go public on the NASDAQ in April 2026, making the company’s shares available for purchase on the stock market, also in an effort to secure more capital and funding. In short: the infrastructures of present day colonialism are being built and financed now and must therefore be attacked now. This is why we urge actions to happen in January through March, although extended pressure will be needed to discourage future extractivism in the region.
4. BRIEFLY ON SÁMI HISTORY
The Sámi are the Indigenous people that together with other minorities have been inhabiting the region of Sápmi for several thousands of years. Today Sápmi encompasses vast areas in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and of the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
Sámi traditional livelihoods and survival include mainly reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting which depend on access to large areas, at the same time as maintaining a reciprocal, non-exploitative relationship to these lands. For hundreds of years these traditional activities have been (and still are!) under constant pressure by land theft and destruction associated with the construction of ever new cabins and roads, power lines, wind factories, hydroelectric power stations, data centers, towns, tourism, etc.
Settlers have also violently attacked Sámi and other minorities’ traditional ways of life through religious indoctrination and assimilation, forced settlements, child theft, forced sterilization, enslavement, and installing capitalist economies which push them into more and more so-called “modern” ways of existing. This is the ugly truth we forget when simply thinking about North American boarding schools in Turtle Island and rubber plantations when speaking of colonialism. The Sámi face a multi-faceted oppression which has many layers worth attending.
This text, however, will focus on the material aspects of colonial expansion and the accelerated exploitation that is being imposed through multinational co-operations and their “democratic processes” to extract from the land for the sake of the “The Green Transition”
5.”GREEN” COLONIALISM IN SÁPMI
Located on the ancestral territories of several Sámi communities, the “Nussir mine” will make it impossible to continue traditional Sámi practices. Remarkably, the company’s name itself embodies colonial theft and violence, as “Nussir” is the traditional North-Sámi name for the mountain which Nussir ASA’s machines and dynamite currently eat up.
As such, this project presents one (of many) of the latest manifestations of Norway’s and Europe’s white supremacist colonial expansion unfolding right in front of our eyes in Sápmi. All of these projects are connected by being critical infrastructures of extraction necessary for feeding the so-called “Green Transition”.
What’s happening at Riehpovuotna is yet another gruesome example which should clarify once and for all that so-called renewable energy technologies are actually made with non-renewable source materials and produced with high-powered fossil fuel machines. We refuse to call them wind or solar ‘farms’. We refuse to call them ‘forests’. They are colonial industries, factories and plantations. Wind, solar, biomass, are all just new ways to maintain industrial civilization’s deathly grasp on the world. As slick and well-marketed products, they give the illusion of change, while in fact feeding a society that nurtures itself on the destruction of ancestral life ways.The global demand for “green energy” doesn’t lead to less consumption, rather it means an explosion in overall energy use and the need to extract critical minerals with no end in sight. It is a race to the top, and therefore the “Green Transition” is a militarized proxy war of influence fought between powerful nation states for control of the world’s energy infrastructures and economy. Instead on the ground, these extractivist projects are met with attack and resistance everywhere. We refuse to let Sápmi be an easy target.
6. HISTORY OF RESISTANCE IN RIEHPOVUOTNA
The region around Riehpovuotna has witnessed a long history of resistance against this and similar projects, and has especially been shaped by large protests connected to the Áltá hydroelectric power station in the 1970s and 80s.
From these struggles emerged an autonomous movement with the Sámi resistance call to “ČSV!” (Čájet Sámi Vuoiŋŋa!/”Show Sámi Spirit!”) and a demand to take back the languages, culture, and land that had been stolen through colonization. This ultimately lead to a number of societal reforms, such as state investment in cultural production and the creation of the Sámi Parliaments, among other forms of “acknowledgment”, although without the material transformation needed to end centuries of dispossession.
Mining activities in Finnmark date back to at least 1826, with the first mine at Riehpovuotna opening in 1905. From 1972-1979, mining company Folldal Verk promised riches for the community, only to shut down 8 years later leaving behind a scarred mountain, sick reindeer and toxic tailings in the fjord that poisoned fish leading to deformities. Current plans include, again, to dump two million tons of mining waste annually into the protected salmon fjord.
While more aggressive actions have taken place over generations of resisting Scandinavian colonialism, for a long time the Sámi people have tried to navigate the colonial legal avenues and “democratic processes.” This has included talking to politicians and companies, engaging in peaceful actions and filing suits and cases through the judicial system. All they have gotten are weak compromises and a government institution to document the “truth” about the horrible mistakes made by the Norwegian state and suggested ways for superficial reconciliation, while material colonization continues as before, and even accelerates. In the Fosen case the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled that the wind factory destroyed traditional reindeer herding grounds and violated human rights. Yet, it is still operating, with no intention for it to be dismantled. As said by the former President of the Norwegian Sámi Parliament, Aili Keskitalo, these processes are intentionally designed as a form of endless distraction where they “can kill us with dialogue”.
This call to action is an attempt to diversify and move beyond the dogmatic approach of liberal environmentalism propped up by the state, NGOS, non-profits, and other related actors. There already is a strong desire to broaden and diversify the resistance emerging among Sámi, non-Indigenous locals and supporters.We need to regrow our imagination of what is possible, necessary, and legitimate to stop this colonial expansion in all its dimensions. We need this imagination, because we cannot take down the colonizer’s house with his own tools. If we want to make more than mere dents in the “green” colonialist machinery, we need to intertwine a plurality of approaches and spin a web of affinities, tactics, and attacks. We need to fight by the means each of us aligns with and use our creativity, skills and experience. Against investors, contractors, infrastructure, politicians, equipment and machines. Resistance against the “Nussir mine” is (or should be) resistance against white supremacy and the settler colonial state. Otherwise, how is this struggle supposed to be successful if it acts exclusively within the laws and boundaries set by the colonial system?
7. WHO ARE “WE”?
This communique has been authored by a loose group of people. Some of us who decided to write this are non-Indigenous, some are Indigenous. Some of us identify as anarchists. We all share the desire to dismantle systems of domination and destruction, like those we can see currently enforcing colonial plunder in Sápmi.
We have found our own reasons to act and invite the reader to do the same. When our fighting is rooted in relationship – to the land, to the people most impacted, to the spiritual realms – it tends to lend itself to respect and love-filled resistance; while those fights rooted in pure politics or excitement to break things often end up being saviouristic.
We do not wish to speak on behalf of all Sámi people, to romanticize Indigenous life ways, or to tokenize their struggles for ours. We support Sámi claims of autonomy and freedom, and aim to understand and recognize a history that has been erased or attempted to be erased. We hope and strive for collaboration and crossing paths, and mutual respect as accomplices to oppose this ongoing violent extractivism and insatiable destruction. We believe, simply said, that we should all work together because everyone’s liberation is entangled.

Comments Off on Announcing the Infiltrators Database
Jan172026
Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
The No Trace Project has launched a new tool: the Infiltrators Database, a database of cases of long-term infiltrators employed by authorities in the 21st century. It currently references 74 cases from 12 countries, including 5 cases from Canada. The goal of the database is to help anarchists and other rebels better understand how infiltrators operate. For each case we provide a brief description, sources to learn more, as well as the infiltrator’s name and pictures, if available. Access the database:
We will maintain the database in the future. If you know of any case that’s missing and that matches our inclusion criteria, feel free to let us know. Find our inclusion criteria here:
Everywhere we look, the forces of domination strain to keep our worlds within reach of the death star of authority. In a new era of competing nationalisms, the Canadian state reconditions its war on the land and those who live in relation with it by threatening new mines and pipelines from coast to coast. Plans converge toward a massive expansion of the military. AI mass surveillance technologies augment the already unchecked power of the police. We are expected to look away as the CEOs and politicians who walk our streets are willing partners in genocide, or are beaten and locked up if we act. Borders harden, and fascism creeps forward.
The escalating nature of their efforts is necessary to hold back a different idea of life: one that takes on countless forms across the worlds we inhabit and remains beyond the reach of power. It’s an idea we’ve glimpsed through refusals and resistance as well as in moments of creation and care. An idea that propels multiple formations to shine bright and thrive, rather than be pulled into the orbit of the same star. An idea sustained and given life by gathering together, sharpening and debating proposals beyond dogma, sharing histories and skills, exulting in time and space seized from the world destroyers, (re)kindling new and old connections and conspiracies.
And so we invite fellow travellers of the anarchist galaxy to come together for the 3rd edition of Constellation. Montreal’s festival of anarchy returns from May 14th to 20th, 2026, with a week-long, city-wide extravaganza of books, zines, skills, art, music, and more! Come take part in our decentralized experiment, where participants help set the tone, create the content, and weave together theory and practice across many spaces and formats.
Once again, we’re hosting two events at CÉDA (2515 rue Delisle) and hope to see many more autonomous events organized by YOU! Stay tuned for the launch of the online calendar, where you’ll be able to submit your events as part of Constellation 2026.
Saturday, May 16: Anarchist Bookfair
The Anarchist Bookfair returns to CÉDA with tabling inside and outside the building, bringing together books, zines, pamphlets, art, and other materials that speak to anarchy in all its forms. Multiple rooms at CÉDA and spots in Parc Vinet will host book launches, reading groups, discussions, film screenings, and other sessions throughout the day.
Sunday, May 17: Anarchist Skill Faire
On Sunday, CÉDA transforms into the sprawling, chaotic Skill Faire—a kind of anarchist science fair where trifold displays are encouraged and “please touch” is the norm. Tables and stations will showcase hands-on skills and tools, inviting people to try things out, ask questions, and leave with practical knowledge. In addition to tabling, there will be rooms reserved for longer, more in-depth skillshares that require time, focus, or specialized equipment.
Kids Zone
The Kids Zone will again offer childcare and kid-friendly activities, making it easier for parents, caregivers, and young people to participate in the festival. This year, we would love some help putting together more youth-oriented workshops and skillshares, so please get in touch if this is something that excites you.
Get Involved
We’ll be opening our submissions portal for table reservation and workshop applications soon. Check constellationmtl.net or our social media pages for more info later this month. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reach us at info@constellationmtl.net or on Signal (@constellation.2026).
